Independent Tutor vs. Blooms Tutor

You are here:

I've had a lot of people asking for more clarity on the differences between registering as an "independent tutor" or just as a "tutor". This has been answered in the following Q&A link: http://bloomstutors.com.au/qa/view/517-difference-between-profile-types but I thought I'd try shed some more light on the differences to help make your decision easier!
