Boost your confidence with private tuition

First Tutors helps you to find private tutors as your child progresses from primary school to secondary exams and right through to university. Our client reviews mean you can select private tutors who will lift that grade, raise confidence and help you or your child to discover the joy of learning through their private tuition journey.

How is First Tutors different from other private tuition agencies?

We put you in control to choose private tutors you like at hourly rates you feel appropriate. Tutors write their own tutoring profiles so you can get a strong sense of how they approach private tuition. Use our platform to arrange lessons, and if your tutor doesn't meet your requirements, leave feedback to tell us why and we'll connect you to another one free of charge, giving you peace of mind in your tutoring.

1. Select your private tutor

Find private tutors you're comfortable with to help you succeed in everything from beginners French, or GCSE Maths to degree level Physics. Choose from face-to-face UK tutors or online private tutoring. First Tutors take reviews from existing clients so you can choose a credible tutor with confidence.

2. Discuss your educational needs

Use our secure platform to share diaries with private tutors, discuss syllabi, and arrange the best location for your private tuition. We'll take up references and run an identity check for you.

3. Start learning

Pay our one-off fee (between £9.99-£34.99, linked to tutor's rate) to connect with your private tutor and begin your lessons. No fixed term commitments. No hourly commission. Just private tuition. If in the unlikely event your tutor is not a good match, simply contact us so we can offer our tutor satisfaction guarantee.

Is private tutoring for me?

We believe every child, fundamentally, has the capacity for great things. That given the right direction, mentoring and - yes - education, they have the capability to achieve. The one-to-one environment of private tuition means their capabilities can be nourished, developed and grown outside of the noise of the classroom, and their full potential can be realised.

A good private tutor will furnish students with the confidence, knowledge and mindset to succeed; after which they will continue on from strength to strength.

Want to become a First Tutor?

Join us to begin finding tutor jobs. Whether you want to home tutor or travel, First Tutors can help you connect with students in your local area or online and begin private tuition. On your tutoring profile you can showcase your qualifications, experience, tuition methods, desired travel distance (or none at all), student feedback, relevant interests and much more. You set your own private tuition fees.

It is free to register with First Tutors, but you must be willing to undergo our identity checks and provide references before we'll connect you with clients. The site works as an 'open marketplace', where tutees choose private tutors based on merit and relevance to their tuition needs.
