What we do

We are the Professional Tutoring Partnership. We provide specialist in person tuition in schools and online tuition for schools.


It is with regret that the Professional Tutoring Partnership has made the difficult decision not to apply to be a Tuition Partner in the National Tutoring Programme Phase 2.

Patoss, British Dyslexia Association, Dyslexia Action, Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity and Real Group Ltd remain committed to working in partnership with schools, continuing to help children with their education and to promoting the work of our specialist teachers.

For now, our formal involvement with the National Tutoring Programme ends on 31st July 2021.

If you wish to find a new NTP tutoring organisation we suggest keeping an eye on their official website https://nationaltutoring.org.uk/.


Teachers, schools and parents have done a heroic job in 2020. Our partnership launched in November 2020 as a response to the call for nationally organised high quality tutoring to help children catch up.

The Professional Tutoring Partnership brings together a lead organisation, Real Group, with three specialist teacher professional bodies and two charities: Patoss, The Dyslexia Guild, British Dyslexia Association and Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity and Dyslexia Action Training.

Our tutors are specially trained to teach children with literacy and numeracy difficulties. The tutoring delivered through our partnership is for all children.

We match the school up with a tutor and then the tutors work directly with teachers to plan and deliver the tuition that children need to make more progress with their learning.

Teachers can log into our tuition tracker to track children’s progress.

Some parents will be worried about their children falling behind. Parents should talk with their child’s school. Teachers have several ways of helping children. Schools will decide with parents whether tuition is right for their child.

Tutoring has been provided in schools from the beginning of January 2021.
