As a self-employed teacher or tutor you are providing a professional service. It is therefore important to ensure you have the right insurance protection in place to protect you against the risks you face in your profession.
Hiscox insures over 100,000 small business professionals and was awarded Best Small Business Insurance Provider in the Start Your Business awards 2009 and 2010. We have developed a range of flexible policies so you can design a policy to suit your individual needs:
Professional indemnity insurance
You may feel confident in your work, but any self-employed teacher or tutor is vulnerable to claims of negligence. Professional indemnity insurance will help protect you if a claim is brought against you by a school, local education authority, private client or student, whether or not it is founded.
Our professional indemnity insurance policy for other professionals is specially designed to cover a range of business activities, including teaching and tutoring.

Liability insurance
Despite your best intentions, accidents do happen and if it occurs as result of something you have done then a member of the public can claim against you for compensation. You could be held liable for a simple mistake such as spilling a drink over a school computer, or a tutee slipping on a wet floor.
