Why SATA Exists
Tutoring is one of the fastest-growing sectors in education, but until now, it has lacked clear structure, representation, and quality assurance.
SATA was created to fill this gap by:
- Uniting independent tutors and organisations under one professional umbrella.
- Providing national accreditation pathways and peer recognition.
- Advocating for ethical practices, fair compensation, and respect within the broader education system.
