DfE-Aligned Tutoring, Powered by Our Bespoke Online Learning Platform

At VLE Tutors, our DfE-aligned online tutoring platform is built on the principles set out in the Department for Education’s 2024 Tutoring Guidance for Education Settings. Structured, guided, and measurable, our system turns cognitive science into classroom progress — ensuring every student benefits from secure, tailored, curriculum-aligned support.

✔ Curriculum-Aligned Learning

Our structured courses are mapped directly to the UK National Curriculum and are fully aligned with the assessment objectives set by Ofqual-regulated exam boards. We support qualifications from AQA, Edexcel (Pearson), OCR, and WJEC, ensuring students are always preparing with the right depth, breadth, and clarity for success in their national assessments and GCSEs or A-Levels. This alignment ensures students learn exactly what is expected at Key Stage 3, GCSE, and A-Level, reinforcing both knowledge and exam confidence.

✔ Personalised Learning Spaces

Each student receives a secure login to their own digital workspace — with access to tailored lesson content, past papers, revision quizzes, and direct feedback from their tutor. These spaces provide a central hub for progress and enable learners to take ownership of their journey, revisit resources, and track their own development over time.

✔ Live, Interactive Teaching

Lessons happen in real-time and mirror high-quality classroom teaching — but with the added benefit of digital collaboration tools. Our virtual classrooms feature live annotation, breakout discussions, polls, instant feedback, and screen sharing — all designed to maximise engagement and deepen understanding in each session.

✔ Real-Time Progress Tracking

We use built-in analytics and tutor evaluations to monitor attendance, participation, learning gaps, and progress toward individual targets. Students and parents can receive clear, jargon-free progress reports at regular intervals — helping everyone stay aligned and informed throughout the programme.

✔ Trusted Technology Infrastructure

Our platform integrates secure virtual classrooms and dynamic learning environments — the same class of systems trusted by universities like the Open University and UCL. Built with scalability, accessibility, and learner engagement in mind, our infrastructure is robust, stable, and optimised for online academic success.

✔ Safeguarding First

All sessions are conducted in line with national safeguarding expectations. Tutors are fully trained, DBS-checked, and follow VLE Tutors’ safeguarding policy. Every session is access-controlled and monitored where appropriate — ensuring students are supported in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment.

We don’t just follow DfE guidance — we bring it to life with a fully integrated platform that supports student progress, parental confidence, and school partnership.
