Getting started
What makes a good tutor?
Subject knowledge is a must, but being a good tutor is really about explaining difficult concepts in a way that's clear, engaging and personalised for each student. You can have three degrees in Physics, but that doesn't mean you'll be good at explaining it at GCSE level! Tutors who can empathise with their students and help them build confidence help teens unleash their potential, and we see amazing results in just a few lessons.
Our tutors are from top UK unis, and because they're just a few years older, they can explain things in a way that teens find relatable. We interview all of our tutors, and only the friendliest and most knowledgeable make it on to our platform.
Pick from over 30 subjects at GCSE, A Level and beyond. Find a tutor at the level you need:
Which tutor is right for you?
Before you look for a tutor, it's helpful to have a really clear idea of exactly where your child needs help - whether with a specific English Literature text, one area of Maths or their exam technique - and filter your choices accordingly. If you're not sure where they need to focus, having a chat with them or their teacher can help you work out the best place to start.
You can then ask the tutor any questions you like and see how well they get on with your child before deciding to book.
How do I find a tutor?
Finding a tutor is easy. Whatever you need, you can search and filter by subject, level, price, availability and more:
- Browse our tutors and narrow your search by subject, academic level or price.
- Compare their profiles to learn about their background, experience and availability. Don't forget to take a peek at their reviews from parents and students!
- Message a tutor (or two, or three) about the class that suits you.
- Book your lessons and get started.

Do I need an account to book?
You can browse tutors and courses without an account. To message a tutor or request a place in a class, create a free account as a parent or student. Parents can add and manage their children's bookings from one account.
Online lessons
Why is online tutoring important?
Online tutoring gives students the chance to learn at their own pace and in a way that matches their learning style. Teens are often too shy to put their hand up in class - especially if they're struggling. The reassurance of one-to-one tutoring means they can ask all the questions they want, and go over topics as much as they need until they get it.
What are the benefits of online tutoring?
One-to-one tutoring lets students unleash their potential. Worried about learning gaps? We'll fill them in. No tutors in your area? We've got you covered. No academic confidence? No problem. Whatever your child needs help with, their tutor will guide them through tricky topics and boost their self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place live in our own online classroom with video, messaging and an interactive whiteboard. This makes it easy for students and tutors to talk to each other, discuss tricky concepts and do practice questions together - just like a natural face-to-face conversation.
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a camera, a microphone and a reliable internet connection.
Can I try a session before booking?
Yes. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute introductory session, which you can request from their profile. It's a great chance to talk about goals and make sure the tutor is a good fit.
Pricing & booking
How much does a tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications. Each tutor's hourly rate is shown on their profile, and you can see all the tutors who match your budget with the price filter on our Find a Tutor page.
What will I see before I enrol?
Each tutor's weekly classes show the day, time, level, price and how many places are available, so you can compare before you message the tutor or request a place.
See our Terms & Conditions for full details on payments, cancellations and refunds.
Safety & safeguarding
Are your tutors DBS checked?
Trust and safeguarding are at the heart of everything we do. Tutors are interviewed and vetted before they join, and tutors with a completed DBS check show a "DBS checked" badge on their profile.

How do parents stay informed?
