Now where shall I begin. I booked a tutor called Rowena Gray from this site who claimed to be a serving teacher but actually wasn't. I paid the £10 fee to release her details and the tutor answered all questions to how I wanted to hear them. She was in fact an actress specialising in drama and not even a serving teacher. What I required was a serving secondary English teacher. She had however done some teaching before but that's not what I wanted. When she came to my house she claimed she worked for Ofsted and she 'wrote' exam papers for various exam boards. Her words just didn't add up. Every time I asked her what she actually does she would just waffle and I would end up with no clear answer. I passed her details on to my sister who required a tutor and my sister asked for her ID, DBS clearance, references after the first lesson but she cancelled the following lesson after that request. Her details just didn't add up so I asked her to bring her ID, references and DBS clearance on the next lesson which she should have bought in the first lesson but guess what as cancelled the lesson when I asked for theses. We rearranged and she came to another session with no DBS, references and claimed she has already done this with the UK TUTORS website. She was hesitant to show me her ID and the smell of her lies just kept getting stronger! Someone who works with children in a school would definitely have been DBS checked. I told her that I wanted to see them and she once again agreed to bring them for the following session. She then messaged my sister and I that she is extremely busy can can no longer teach our children. She obviously knew we were on to her lies and she couldn't keep up with them. It was only a matter of time before she was going to get revealed for who and what her real intentions were. The worst thing of all was when so asked my 8 year old child what I was speaking about on the telephone to a family member in my language which was in a separate room and had no concern to her. My child just simply answered 'I don't know'. UK TUTORS needs to be more in control who who is registered on their site and whether they have the necessary documentation to back up who they claim to be. All they seem to be bothered is about the fee that was paid to them and the rest is history. Parents need to request these documents before comencing sessions as not everyone is who they claim to be so be vigilant!
