Foundation Tutor Award – Building the Basics

Why Start with the Foundation Tutor Award?

Tutoring in Bangladesh is growing fast, but many new tutors rely on repetition, notes, and last-minute exam prep. This may help students scrape through tests, but it doesn’t give them the deeper understanding or confidence they need to thrive.

The Foundation Tutor Award is designed for new or early-stage tutors who want to teach effectively from day one. Built on evidence-based strategies, this online course shows you how to plan lessons, motivate students, and build trust with parents — without needing expensive resources.
