Our Tutors at Chester Language Network
Our tutors are our most important asset. The success of our company is dependent on our tutors’ professionalism and expertise, so we take great care in selecting them.
How do we recruit our Tutors?
Each month we receive CVs from candidates wishing to register with Chester Language Network. The initial selection is made based on each person’s qualifications and experience: our clients expect tailored courses delivered by professionals so we aim to work with teachers and tutors with a related qualification and at least 2 years teaching experience.
The tutors who get through this initial paper-sift then undergo an interview. The purpose of this interview is to confirm the tutor’s qualifications, get more in-depth information on their prior tutoring experience and to “get a feel” for their character.
At Chester Language Network, we believe that a tutor’s personality is an important factor in the success of the student-tutor relationship: we look for enthusiastic , professional, open-minded and friendly tutors who have a real passion for tutoring and sharing.
Our Language Tutors
We do prefer to work with native tutors in the languages area as their accent and cultural knowledge is more accurate, but we make exceptions in areas where language tutors are hard to find and in the case of bilingual tutors we do, however, require that they have lived in the country for a period of time to ensure a good quality accent and first-hand cultural knowledge.
