About UK Tutors
Aim
UK Tutors is the UK's leading online tutor-matching service, our aim is to provide access to the widest range of tutors across the UK. You can browse and select a private tutor in your area 24 hours day, whenever suits you best.
The benefits of having a tutor can be numerous:
- Improve your grades
- Increase self confidence
- Develop knowledge and understanding
- Provide continuing support and advice
- Exam preparation
Why Use Us?
Choice – Our tutors offer private tuition in a wide range of academic subjects including those on the school curriculum, plus niche subjects too. Select the subject you require and the professional tutor to deliver top class tuition in the comfort of your own home.
Affordability - We ask for a £9.99 introduction fee and that's all! (and you only pay it once you've used the members area to discuss arrangements with your tutor). Some agencies may charge an additional £10 for every hour a private tutor teaches, but with UK Tutors, there are no additional agency fees or hidden costs. We understand that many tutees are happy to manage their relationship with a private tutor themselves and would prefer not to continue paying an agency for that service.
UK Tutors vs a Typical Agency
UK Tutors differs to Tuition Agencies in the follwonig ways:
- Browse and select your tutor - it's your choice who you choose for your needs, we aren't the middle man
- Contact tutors directly to discuss your needs - no payment necessary, you can talk in our members area first.
- We don't perform CRB checks - this means you must ask for any references/CRBs your tutor offers
- We ask for a £9.99 introduction fee and that's all. We don't ask for a £9.99 fee on top of every hour a tutor teaches but equally we cannot fairly intervene if you are not happy with the tutor you have chosen because we do not manage the ongoing relationship.
The cost difference between choosing your own tutor and using an agency:
| UK Tutors | Typical Agency | Saving | |
| Introduction | £9.99 | £0 - £20 | ~£5 |
| 10 hrs of tuition | £180* | £250 | £70 |
| Additional Agency fees (10 hrs) | £0 | £50 (£5 p.h.) | £50 |
| Total | £190 | £315 | £125 |
