![]() ![]() Music is one of the ultimate forms of creativity and there are so many different genres that it may feel overwhelming. Also, there are new musicians who pick up an instrument or ones who get discovered and garner a massive fan base. There is always a new act out there or new up and comer who is hungry with a fantastic new sound. Perhaps give it a few months before assessing its value.The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said: “without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is everywhere and the industry changes almost daily. We know it won't be for everyone but a great many wonderful and experienced teachers have chosen to continue their listing. We respect that the new .uk is different from the former directory. The offer of the new site is more than just a simple ad and thus it follows that the fee structure is also different. The site has a full time team of software engineers, marketing support and a wonderful customer service team to help teachers and their students. That's why we have trained staff available to support everyone in the community. Vetting includes the submission of disclosure certificates, references and ID verification but, as I'm sure you know safeguarding is more than just such measures. This is because we want to make sure that everyone who uses the site has a safe and quality experience. The site now works closer with teachers than the simple directory it once was. (From what I gather the only vetting that is provided is that teachers have to scan a copy of their enhanced DBS certificate, you can simply ask to see a teacher's DBS certificate yourself and that would be the same thing.) Otherwise, please book lessons directly with experienced local teachers to properly support them in a difficult industry, and make sure that a third party company doesn't take a large portion of their income simply for hosting their ad on their website and providing some very rudimental 'vetting'. If you'd therefore like to find a tutor who is willing to give away a large chunk of income to get new students, look on this site. A real shame that the original website was discontinued. Therefore all of the highest quality and most experienced tutors have already left the site, as the most experienced and busy teachers don't need to give away a portion of their client income to be hosted on a site to get students. The company now takes a large cut of the teachers' income from ALL lessons you have with the teacher. This is not the same website that it was before. Not the same site as before, support local teachers instead Thank you for patience as we rebuild to the higher standards of quality and safety which are essential values of our platform. Every day, more teachers are being added to the site. Rest assured, behind the scenes there are many teachers progressing through the new vetting and safeguarding procedures. We are 11 weeks into the new platform at the time of writing. The new platform makes sure that only active teachers are shown to students. Built over 20 years, the former database was very large, yet, as is to be expected over that time period, there were many teachers listed whose information was out of date, resulting in frustration for students trying to find a teacher. Previously, there were no such measures in place. Indeed this standard is here to make sure the inexperienced or unqualified are not presented on the platform. The relaunch brings with it new standards of quality assurance and safeguarding. ![]() You are right the new version of .uk went live on the 24th January 2022, in place of the former directory which had stood for two decades before. Steve thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
