Start with a parent or carer
For students under 18, a parent or carer should make the initial enquiry and agree lesson arrangements. Use an adult’s contact information, and keep sensitive details out of the website form.
Checks and references
TutorDex lists Dr Khan as PVG checked. You can view the profile (opens in a new tab) and ask to discuss the current check and references before booking. The website is not a replacement for checking the arrangements yourself.
Agree the details together
- Where lessons will happen and who will be present.
- How a parent or carer can be nearby or check in during a lesson.
- Whether the online lesson will use Zoom or Microsoft Teams, who can access it and whether any recording is proposed.
- How lesson communications and progress updates will be shared with the parent or carer.
- How to raise a concern, and the tutor’s safeguarding procedures.
- Rates, payment and cancellation arrangements. Lessons last one hour.
Ask to see the tutor’s safeguarding policy before tuition begins. This page provides information for arranging lessons; it is not a substitute for a full safeguarding policy.
