I have worked as a tutor with Connex for two years and it has been a very rewarding experience. There is good support from my personal consultant, Georgia, policies and procedures are straightforward and not too much admin to get up and running. I have had a steady stream of students, some long-term. The one-to-one relationship with pupils in alternative provision is a really effective way to meet learners' needs and it is enjoyable seeing students' confidence grow. – Eve J – Connex Education Tutor.
