About Latimer Tuition
Robin Gibbons founded Latimer Tuition in 2021 to build a tutor-first, student-focused alternative to rigid tuition agencies.
Built on trust
Direct contact, transparent pricing, and practical support.
Latimer Tuition keeps the process straightforward for families, tutors, and partners with flexible systems and clear communication.
Robin Gibbons | Founder & CEO
Latimer Tuition was founded in January 2021 by Robin Gibbons after seeing first-hand how rigid agency models could get in the way of good tutoring relationships.
Why Latimer Tuition was created
Latimer Tuition grew out of the issues and pain points Robin found while working as a tutor with other agencies.
- Large tutoring corporations often felt restrictive for tutors who had already developed their own effective way of working.
- Not every tutor uses the same meeting platform, charges the same rate, or teaches in the same way.
- Trying to standardise every tutor into one workflow can extinguish the personal value families are actually looking for.
What makes the model different
Latimer Tuition gives tutors the freedom to teach in the way that suits them best while still providing the systems families need.
- We connect tutors with clients and support the matching process.
- We handle payment processing and provide a session management system.
- Microsoft Teams support is available, but tutors and clients can agree another meeting medium if it suits them better.
- With hundreds of tutors on the platform, families can choose the fit that works best for them.
What families can expect
The core Latimer promise is simple: keep tutoring flexible, transparent, and personal.
- Direct contact with tutors
- Latimer Tuition entrusts tutors to communicate directly with their clients after introduction.
- Transparent pricing
- The price we present is the price you pay.
- No hidden fees
- We charge per hour of lessons completed with the tutor and avoid surprise costs.
- Pay-as-you-go
- We invoice after lessons, accept online card payments and bank transfers, and provide 48 hours' notice before charging a saved card.
- No contract, no tie-in
- No one should be locked into tutoring. Families continue only while the lessons feel worthwhile. Tutors do operate a 24-hour cancellation policy.
- Stop anytime
- Clients return on a weekly basis because they want to, not because they have to.
Four simple steps
Finding the right tutor should feel straightforward.
- 1. Find a Tutor
- Browse the tutor directory and shortlist the tutors who fit your subject, level, budget, and preferences.
- 2. Message a Tutor
- Send the tutor a message and explain the type of support you need.
- 3. Chat with your tutor over email
- We'll introduce you by email so you can ask questions, discuss requirements, and decide whether the fit feels right.
- 4. Begin Lessons
- If it feels like the right fit, ask the tutor to book in some lessons. If not, you can return to the directory and keep browsing.
