Interview with Adam Muckle - Former President of The Tutors' Association

Adam is originally from Belfast and studied Classics at Durham University. After training as a Barrister, a chance conversation led him unexpectedly to tutoring. Over the past ten years, Adam has tutored here in the UK, throughout Europe and Asia, as well as online. He specialises in tuition for 9 to 13 year-olds preparing for pretest, Common Entrance and scholarship entrance exams. He was President of The Tutors’ Association from March 2016 to March 2019.

TTA is tutoring’s professional body in the UK, membership-led and not-for-profit. All its elected Directors, including the President, serve as volunteers, shaping its course. Under Adam’s leadership, membership trebled to almost 1000 and annual national conferences were established attracting upwards of 200 delegates. There was also more investment in staff and membership services, a new website and membership system, regular professional networking events, webinars and a blog where tutors and tuition providers can share knowledge and experiences. Among other things, importantly there was also greater outreach to the wider education landscape. There is now a growing recognition of the role of tutoring in society and a strong, responsible, representative voice within it, standing up for the sector
