Why our tutors are different
We turn away most tutors who apply.
A degree isn't a teaching qualification. Whether they're a current undergraduate, a recent graduate or a qualified teacher, every Lyceum tutor clears the same four checks before they meet a student — and stays under review afterwards.
0%
of applicants are accepted onto our books in a typical hiring round.
01
Strong subject knowledge
Undergraduates at strong universities, graduates and qualified teachers — each tutoring subjects they've excelled in and, often, recently sat themselves.
02
A live teaching trial
Every candidate teaches a real mock lesson assessed by our academic team. Knowing a subject and teaching it are not the same skill.
03
Enhanced DBS & references
Enhanced background checks, identity verification and two references confirmed before a first session — without exception.
04
Ongoing review
Feedback after every block of lessons. Tutors who slip below our bar leave it. The vetting never really stops.

"My job isn't to make exams feel easy. It's to make hard problems feel familiar by the time they sit one."

"Confidence comes from competence. We close the actual gaps first; the grades follow on their own."
In their words
What families tell us.
"Our daughter went from a predicted 5 to a 7 in Maths in two terms. What changed was the tutor actually fitting her, not just being available."
"Finding a real Bac tutor in London felt impossible until Lyceum. Theirs had sat the Bac herself — she understood the grand oral instantly."
"The re-match offer is what sold me. We never needed it — but knowing they stood behind the match said everything."
"My tutor didn't just cover content. He taught me how examiners actually mark, and my essays jumped a grade band."
"Booking was effortless and the standard was obvious from the first session. You can tell they actually vet people."

Good questions
Before you ask.
For most subjects we propose a matched tutor within 48 hours, with first lessons usually beginning the same week. Specialist Baccalauréat and admissions matches can take a little longer to get exactly right — and getting it right is the point.
We check in after the third lesson. If the match isn't working, we'll re-match you with someone new at no extra cost. You should never feel stuck with a tutor who isn't right for your child.
Yes — it's a core part of what we do, not an afterthought. Our Bac tutors have taught the French system and many sat the Bac themselves, covering the spécialités, the grand oral, philosophie and Parcoursup, in French or bilingually.
Lessons are online by default — it gives you the widest choice of tutors, wherever you are. Some tutors also offer in-person sessions, and we'll flag it when a match does, so you can choose.
Four stages: proven subject mastery, a live assessed teaching trial, enhanced DBS checks with references, and ongoing review after every block of lessons. Fewer than one in twelve applicants make it through.
