A January update from MyTutor | Tips on tutoring and tax ⭐

Hello 2023! We hope the winter break has left you feeling refreshed and ready for the new year. We’re excited to help more teens achieve their potential this year, and to help you be the best tutor you can be. Here’s a load of advice to help you set off on the right foot, from tax advice, to lesson planning, to staying professional.  

It’s tax return time ⏳Here’s advice from the experts at Earnr

If you earn more than £1,000 in the year from April to April, you need to declare your income and fill out a tax return. We know this can be really stressful the first couple of times you do it, so to help ease the pain, our friends over at accounting and finance app Earnr have shared their top advice, and answered some of your questions. Have a read now.
