Training and technology issues must be addressed if live online tutoring is to support student learning as effectively as possible this winter.

An initiative aimed at lessening the educational impact of the covid-19 pandemic on disadvantaged pupils has reached a major online learning milestone.

Professer John Jerrim, a top educational researcher from the UCL Institute of Education has suggested that a tax be placed on private tutoring to ‘level the playing field’ for lower income pupils trying to gain entrance to grammar schools.

The University College of London's (UCL) Institute of Education in partnership with MyTutor, have developed an algorithm that matches students to private tutors.
