There are lots of reasons a Twinkl subscription can be useful for a private tutor. A Twinkl subscription is here to help you on every step of your tutoring journey, not just in your sessions! 

In this blog, we’ll take a look at our top five reasons to get a Twinkl subscription as a private tutor.

 

1. Resources for students of all ages and abilities

On Twinkl, you will find thousands of resources for students of all ages and abilities. Our resources are designed to support students at all levels. 

Many tutors are already familiar with our resources for KS1 and KS2 students but there are also lots of resources for pupils in KS3 and above on Twinkl Beyond. This section of Twinkl supports students as they progress through secondary school and prepare for their GCSE exams. 

You will find a huge variety of resources on Twinkl, making sure there is something to meet the needs of every student you work with. Whether you’re looking for a ready-to-use intervention pack or resources to support those who speak English as an additional language, you will find what you’re looking for.

Twinkl resources also cover a vast amount of topics to help you find resources that meet the interests of your students. If you tutor a football fan, a pet lover or any student with specific interests, you will be able to find resources that match their interests allowing you to tailor sessions to keep them engaged and excited!

We also have lots of resources to support students with their specific exam-based goals. Our collection of 11+ resources is continuing to grow to ensure you have a variety of resources at your fingertips for supporting your students.

 

2. Ready-to-use resources for both online and face-to-face tutoring sessions

Not all Twinkl resources need printing. We also have a range of interactive resources on Twinkl Go!

If you’re tutoring online or using technology in your face-to-face sessions, these resources can help to keep sessions fun and engaging. They include games, puzzles and self-marking activities to add a new dimension to your sessions.

You will also find interactive PDF resources on Twinkl which are perfect for reducing preparation for online tutoring sessions. These resources are already editable, meaning they can be shared directly with students during sessions and can be edited instantly. 

All of the resources on Twinkl can be easily adapted for use in either online or face-to-face sessions. You can also share resources with students using the Twinkl Planner Tool. This is an easy way to set homework activities for students or to provide additional activities for learning outside of your sessions. 

In our Tutor area of Twinkl, we also have categories for online and face-to-face tuition sessions. Although we can’t add all of the resources you might want to use in this section, you can see a selection of the different types of resources available for both online and face-to-face sessions with the students you tutor.

 

3. More than worksheets

There are lots of different types of resources on Twinkl, not just worksheets. 

When tutoring, you want to keep variety in your sessions to help keep students engaged with their tuition. 

As previously mentioned, our Twinkl Go resources are fun interactive resources to use in your tuition sessions. These activities are much loved by students and can be a fun way to prepare for digital assessments such as the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).

There are also lots of other resource types on Twinkl including:

  • PowerPoint activities
  • PowerPoint games
  • board games
  • songs and videos
  • picture prompts
  • flashcards

And many more!

Our Twinkl Newsroom resources are also great for covering any relevant news events. These news articles are child-friendly and each has accompanying curriculum-relevant resources.

You should also take a look at our Twinkl Originals and Rhino Readers eBooks! Twinkl Originals are perfect for students in KS1 and KS2 and our Rhino Readers are a phonics-led scheme that is much loved by both tutors and their students.

 

4. Helping you behind the scenes

Not only are we here to support you with your tutoring sessions but we’re here to help you behind the scenes too. Running a business can feel overwhelming but with our Business Tools resources, we’re here to help along the way.

This range of resources is designed to help you feel more confident with the business side of tutoring. From marketing tips to templates for policies you might want to put in place, these resources will help your tutoring business run smoothly.

We are still adding to this range of resources so if you have any suggestions of what else you’d like to see, we’d love for you to get in touch!

On Twinkl, you will also find a range of CPD resources. These include webinars and downloadable information sheets to help you develop your skills. Our CPD resources cover a variety of topics including curriculum areas and personal development.

 

5. Save time when planning

As a tutor, your time is precious so we want to help you spend less time planning and more time doing the things you love. 

If you like to plan ahead for the students you work with, Twinkl PlanIt is the perfect place to look! These resources come in ready-planned unit packs, saving you lots of time on downloading individual resources. For students working on phonics skills, our Twinkl Phonics Scheme works in the same way.

If you prefer to do no planning or plan as you go, having a Twinkl subscription means you have everything you could need right at your fingertips! Resource downloads are instant so you can always add more resources to your session at the click of a button.

If you can’t find the resources you need, you can also make a request to the Twinkl team to get a resource made just for you!

Our Free Tutor Membership Guide and Free Tutor Taster Pack are a great place to start to find out more about how Twinkl can help you as a private tutor.

You can also join our supportive online communities to connect with other tutors and share ideas and inspiration.
