This book is an absolute game changer for tutors! I’ve been tutoring for three years now and wish I had this when I began. Julia provides brilliant and inspiring expert advice and proves herself to be a vital voice in the tutoring profession.

Love Tutoring is a beacon of insight for both novice and experienced tutors alike. Authored by enthusiastic, experienced and passionate Julia Silver, this book is a treasure trove of practical wisdom, offering invaluable guidance on every aspect of the tutoring profession.

It challenges the prevailing narratives surrounding tutoring, advocating for its recognition as a vital and respected profession in the field of education. Drawing on her extensive experience as both a tutor and a teacher, Julia Silver eloquently argues for a paradigm shift in how tutoring is perceived and valued by society.

Love Tutoring is an important book: it locates the role of tutoring in its historical and current context. It’s an element of provision that we all ought to know more about. Julia Silver is an expert in the field; she also has a gift for communicating complex ideas, and I certainly feel better informed and more appreciative of tutoring as a result of reading this terrific book.

This is a really important and useful book for those who already tutor, those who are thinking about it, and those who are wondering where all the classroom teachers went. Julia offers a very thoughtful and, at times, personal account of what it is to be a tutor, and how important the role is in shaping children’s lives. It’s also a very useful text for those curious about tutoring as a career path. Tutoring isn’t just an ‘add-on’, it’s a Sherpa-style approach to teaching and learning, and, for us readers, Julia is a fantastic guide.

Julia’s passion for tutors and tutoring shines through in her beautifully thought-out handbook for thoughtful tutoring. She sets out big ideas and translates these into practical pause points and reflective moments which make the book informed, engaging, readable and practical. Superb.

What a brilliant resource for anyone who already tutors or is thinking of joining the wider teaching profession as a tutor. Packed with encouragement, wisdom, practical advice and stories from tutors, this is a fantastic resource. Highly recommended!
