Self employed tutor...is this covered by the term time rules?

I do 16 hours per week as a self employed tutor. However once the students finish their exams at the end of June, I will have no customers until the start of September.
How does this work? Can I go on claiming WTC over the summer break using the term time rules, or is that just for employees?

No it's not just for employees, it's for anyone with a recognised cycle of work.0

Darksparkle is correct, but be prepared for HMRC to question it.

I got my place on salaried teacher training so my days of being self employed will soon be over. I am so excited about my new career!0

Why can't you look for customers in the summer? Many use tutors during that time to catch up before the following year. I can't see how you are prevented from working all together.0

I am currently advertising and would be happy to accept work, however in previous years I have got nothing over the summer holidays. So far had no responses to ads0
