Private tuition is booming in the UK during COVID-19. We spoke to leading tutors about why online learning is here to stay.

UK schools closed during the coronavirus pandemic, and parents turned to private, online tutors to help educate their children.

"Not being physically present in homes makes people calmer," he says about tutoring children online. "When we're both on screen, I'm the same size [as them]." The worries of face-to-face teaching are "now somewhat gone." Jessica Ramos, founder of SPEL languages and a full-time foreign languages tutor, fell into it after failing to find work after her graduation from university last year. With opportunities shrinking, Ramos began teaching Portuguese, Spanish, and English.

Lockdown stopped Ryan Bissett's work performing music at weddings and tutoring "has become a lifeline" to pay his bills, he says. For Kamilah Hale, Director of Kin Learning in South London, tutoring has been a boon. Hady calls the last few months a "boom period" for tuition, and says that "respect for teachers has gone up the roof."
