Tutor archetypes

Choosing the right tutor shouldn’t be guesswork. At CityBright we use three clear archetypes.

Tutor archetypes

At CityBright, we use three distinct tutor archetypes to clearly communicate each tutor’s skillset, background, and areas of greatest strength:

  • In-field professional
  • Academic/postgraduate
  • Qualified teacher

These are guides, not boxes; many tutors may bridge more than one archetype. With these signposts, you can spot, at a glance, who best matches your child’s ambitions and learning style, and move forward with confidence.

A high-achieving Graduate, Master’s student, PhD candidate or early-career researcher with syllabus mastery.
An industry expert. Think software engineer, investment analyst, journalist, research scientist or entrepreneur.
Tutors with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/PGCE), achieved by completing an approved Teacher Training programme.
