For the most part, private tuition is unregulated, meaning that anyone can call themselves a tutor without any safeguarding checks at all. In fact, parking attendants are subject to more rigorous criminal checks than private tutors. The Sutton Trust estimates that almost one-third of children receive tuition on a regular basis, and the majority of such tuition is arranged directly by parents and is therefore not regulated activity. Both my children have been tutored in such a way.
