Specialist tutors and teachers policies
Our team are trained to understand the needs of tutors and are able to help explain all elements of cover available and how they might apply to your role as a tutor. They're here so you can feel assured that the cover is right for you. All you need to do is tell us what type of tutoring is involved and we'll build your policy with you. (Tutoring involving manual activities such as carpentry cannot be covered).
Professional indemnity insurance for tutors
There are many scenarios where professional indemnity insurance can apply to private tuition. Negligence, breach of confidence and failure in professional duty to educate, are all covered under this section. If an element of the syllabus is missed or a client is unhappy with a grade, the policy provides support for your legal defence. In addition, we can cover civil liability claims, just ask your adviser. for more information.
Public liability for tutors
It's unlikely, but if, during the course of your tuition you are responsible for someone being injured or damage to their property, public liability cover for tutors would compensate the injured party. A small excess will apply.
Computer equipment
Equipment such as laptops can be insured simply by adding an extension to your policy. Not only will they be covered while you're teaching but also when you're away from your usual teaching premises. Please be aware, you should still take reasonable precaution to protect these items i.e. if your laptop is stolen whilst left unattended and unsecured in a public place, your claim will not be valid.
