Notice a rash of these places opening up around the place. Like this: here
I know a young lady who has just got a job at one. As a 'tutor'. Not only has she not got a degree, but she's just failed (I mean properly failed, not just got low grades) all of her AS levels and is retaking her entire A level course. Hasn't put the tutorial agency off though, and they've been happy to take her on at about £7 an hour.
And I've just seen an ad on Gumtree advertising for tutors for a tutoring agency, with top rate of pay (depending on qualifications and experience) of £10 an hour. Applicants must have A-levels and GCSE's.
AIBU in thinking that most parents would prefer their children to be taught by teachers?
Or is there a market for 'MacTutoring' in the UK now for people who can't afford to pay the going rate for qualified tutors?

Tuition centres - staffed by A-level students?
