Who will be on the panel?

Claire Torbett: Power Up Tuition
I am a qualified primary school teacher and experienced maths tutor from Years 3 to 11 with my business, Power Up Tuition. I started tutoring in 2022 and soon rediscovered my love of teaching which had been buried for a while. I teach entirely face to face in a variety of 1:1s, small groups and big groups and love hands-on practical learning. Tutoring brings me joy through the variety of my days, the communities I have joined and through making a difference to the students I work with!

Dee Atkins-Greig: M Cubed Tuition
My first love is the weather, my second love is teaching and I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to combine the two.
