Tutors & Exams is staffed by colleagues who, collectively, have over 100 years of experience working within the education sector. The senior management team, headed by company founders Jenny & Chris Spraggett, have formerly been employed as managers for Awarding Organisations, Exams Officers at large comprehensive schools or have worked within corporate environments.
Our assessment services are primarily aimed at those outside of mainstream education e.g. Home Educated learners, Private Candidates and we strive to make your examination experience the best it can possibly be.
Since the organisation was first established in 2014, headquartered in Coventry, we now have a network of exam centres nationwide with more planned to open in the coming years. All of our exam centres are close to major transport hubs (road/rail) with nearby parking facilities, and in the locality of amenities (cafe’s etc) where chaperones are able wait while examinations take place.
Each of our centres is staffed by at least two colleagues who have a wide range of examination knowledge and experience to guide you through the complexities of arranging your assessment requirements be it A Levels, GCSEs, IGCSEs, Functional Skills or university distance learning examinations. Tutors & Exams are able to assess over 95% of A Level/GCSE specifications offered by Awarding Organisations, ensuring the vast majority of our learners examination requirements can be catered for in one exam centre. At a stroke removing the potential need for a learner to sit different subject exams in multiple exam centres.

Helping learners that don't normally have direct access to assessment opportunities:
Despite receiving no public funding, over the last seven years Tutors & Exams have enabled thousands of learners, outside of mainstream education, to take examinations in a safe and secure environment. Even more so in recent years given many schools no longer offer examination provision to ‘private candidates’.
We have partnered up with many of the largest and long established Distance Learner Partners (DLPs) as well as numerous tuition companies to provide their learners with examination venues and discounted entry fees. Details of our partners can be found here.
In addition to our exam centres we have also invested in our own dedicated science laboratory in Birmingham to support the delivery of A Level Science CPACs (Common Practical Assessment Criteria) for those learners that require endorsement(s) on their certificate(s). We also partner with schools in London and the Northwest, using their labs and tutors, to deliver A Level Science practical’s, offering unrivalled CPAC coverage in the UK.
