Once you've signed your contract to be a Pearson Tutor, you'll be invited to join, Bramble, our platform partner.

The Bramble platform is a video conferencing platform, with a online interactive whiteboard, where you can upload the resources Pearson has prepared for all topics. You can talk or share cameras, see your pupils, and all of you can use the tools to mark up or type on all the pages of the session.

The session will be recorded, and you can export all the resources, complete with markup and annotations, at the end of each session and pupils and teachers can review the recording and the resources for that session.

You can expect to be teaching students from schools all over the country and sessions could be 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, depending on the schools need.
