Specialist individual tutor insurance for The Tutors' Association members

The Tutors' Association (TTA) are strong advocates of Professional Tutors and Corporates ensuring they have insurance cover in place to protect themselves in the event that something goes wrong. Insurance can provide cover for situations where accidental damage to client or third-party property occurs, for example, and legal expenses can help to pursue a debt from a client that refuses to pay. Both TTA and Morton Michel believe having appropriate insurance in place is a part of being a tutoring professional.

Morton Michel provides insurance solutions for tutors that are tailored to their needs. TTA are proud to be working with Morton Michel who provide insurance policies that can protect tutors and allow them to focus on delivering effective tuition and educational support.

If you have any further questions, please call Morton Michell on 0330 058 9861.

Public Liability insurance provides cover following injury or property damage (as above). Professional Indemnity insurance covers you if a Third Party suffers financial losses that are considered, by law, to have been caused by a negligent breach of your professional duty. This type of cover will respond to any claim made by a Third Party, during the period of insurance as opposed to when the breach occurred.

Public Liability insurance covers you for damages and legal defence costs for Third-Party property damage or Third-Party injury (or death) that is considered, by law, to have been caused by your negligence. A ‘Third Party’ is anyone that is not the business or its employees. Therefore, minded children and general members of the public would be ‘Third Parties’. This section of cover will not provide for property that is in your custody & control except hired / leased / rented premises. This type of cover will respond to insured incidents that occur during the period of insurance.
