What are the eligibility requirements to tutor with PMT?

We’re thrilled you’re considering tutoring with us! Before applying, make sure you meet our core requirements and are aware of the documents you'll need to provide us with.

You must meet all of the following criteria:

• Subject expertise: You must hold - or be studying for - a degree in or related to the subject(s) you wish to tutor. For example, a Biology degree is not acceptable for tutoring English, but a Physics degree is acceptable for tutoring Maths.

• Teaching experience: You need at least one year of professional experience as a teacher or tutor.

• Enhanced DBS Certificate: To go live on the platform, you must have an enhanced DBS certificate issued within the last two years — or be subscribed to the government’s DBS Update Service. If you don’t have one yet, you can apply for one through us after a successful interview.

• Right to work in the UK: You must be based in the UK and legally allowed to work on a self-employed basis.

• UK bank account: A UK bank account is required to receive payments.

To complete your application, you'll need to upload:

• Proof of ID

• Proof of your qualifications

• Copy of your enhanced DBS certificate (if you already have one)

Full details and guidance are provided on the application form once you sign up.

Before you go live on the platform, we'll also need:

• Proof of your UK address (required to set up payments).

• Your enhanced DBS certificate (if not already provided) - If you don’t already have one, you’ll need to apply for it after your interview. You must upload the certificate and have it verified by us before you can start tutoring.

• Subjects you can tutor - We limit how many subjects tutors can tutor on our platform. For more detailed information, visit our Subjects and Levels FAQ.
