Why Virtual Tutoring?

After pay, seeking better family support is highest on the list of reasons working parents give for leaving a role.

For parents, the happiness and wellbeing of their child is always top of mind – and that doesn’t change, from babyhood to teens.

Research* shows that concerns about mental health and educational catch-up are 50% or above throughout preschool and primary years, and at least 45% throughout the secondary school years, with half of parents of 14–15-year-olds having concerns about their young people’s mental health. *Modern Families Index, 2025

Over 60% of working parents are looking for support from their employer with their children’s educational development.

The support you can provide through Virtual Tutoring could be a game-changer for their peace of mind.

How does it work?

Turn your Back-Up care days into a boost for your child’s learning!

We’ve partnered with the award-winning tuition experts at Explore Learning to give you the option of swapping your Back-Up uses for 1-to-1 online tutoring sessions.

With support available for children aged 4 to 16, there’s something for every stage of their educational journey:

  • Maths & English mastery (ages 4-18) with expert 1-to-1 tuition
  • Focused preparation for 11+ and school entrance exams (ages 8-18)
  • Personalised GCSE Maths support (ages 13-18) to build confidence and exam success
  • Unlimited access to engaging resources, revision guides, and online practice tests

What's the impact?

With the cost-of-living crisis weighing heavy on their minds, your employees will appreciate being able to help their children without the cost of paying for tutoring out of the household budget.

Being virtual, the tutoring sessions avoid the logistical headaches of ferrying children to appointments and activities. For many children, being in their own home also brings the added benefit of being relaxed and therefore more able to learn.

With the reassurance that their children are receiving the support they need to boost their confidence and ability to learn, Virtual Tutoring means parents can be more present at work.

What our clients are saying

"Being a busy single parent to two small children, I have always wanted to look into tutoring my eldest but never felt I had the time to look, search and research. So having this option offered to me with a reputable tutoring company was a great deal for me!"
