Our Operational Structure
The systems in the background that ensure our quality
Callum Downey
Callum founded CD Learning and oversees every part of the business. He meets every new family personally, selects and trains every tutor, and is your go-to for anything to do with tutoring, schools, universities or courses.
Our session planners are a team of previous or current CD Learning tutors who have displayed the strongest natural teaching ability. They write a tailored plan for every session, every week. Using course outlines, assessment calendars and each student's specific needs, they map out exactly what each session will cover and how it should be taught.
Session Planners
The Tutors
We recruit exclusively through referrals from trusted families, teachers, and our existing tutors. Academic excellence is the starting point, but we only progess with tutors who have a passion and talent for teaching and can fit the role of a mentor for students to look up to.
