		<description><![CDATA[Is online tuition the way forward? There is more and more interest in this area, with some tutors even claiming that it is a better medium than face-to-face tuition for some subjects (see our LinkedIn discussion on this). And although The Tutor Pages doesn&#8217;t currently provide a bespoke interface, many tutors listed on the site [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s my day by day account.

		<description><![CDATA[The private tuition industry in the UK attracts the most brilliantly preposterous news stories, partly (I would argue) because there&#8217;s so little reliable information about it in the public domain. Take the recent Telegraph article claiming that middle class parents are being &#8216;priced out&#8217; of the market by the super rich. Apparently, &#8216;[t]he cost for [...]]]></description>

However, there have been some recent developments which are important to private tutors, and to anyone looking to hire one. I&#8217;ll try and explain as concisely as I can.
