The Love Tutoring Podcast
Tutoring is finally getting the love it deserves. In this podcast, former school leader Julia Silver interviews inspirational tutors and the parents that employ them, to explore how tutoring does more than boost grades, how it in fact builds confidence, nurtures resilience and can transform the life of a young person, and their family. Julia Silver is author of 'Love Tutoring, Be the tutor your student needs', published by Crown House, and Founder of Qualified Tutor, the professional development community for the tutoring profession.
