What is MyTutor all about?

MyTutor has been set up by parents who have had a number of years experience and sometimes frustration in trying to find the right tutor for our children. Private tutors cost us £30-£45 per hour and often required us to act as a chauffeuring service, ferrying our children to and from the tutor’s home.

In developing and launching this service, we consulted closely with other parents, teachers and a number of university students to try and understand everyone’s requirements in order to build an effective MyTutor community. We wanted to provide something different to help all children reach their potential in their exams without breaking the bank.

Our tutors are university students from a number of the top UK universities. We expect student tutors to have received top grades themselves in the subjects they are offering to tutor in. With recent exam experience they are best equipped to help students understand exam requirements and achieve those top grades!

Our children benefit from personalised teaching and so we encourage both our tutors and students to pinpoint specific difficulties and work together to resolve them. We have found that receiving tutoring from someone close in age to the students creates a less intimidating and more productive working environment. Every tutor is enthusiastic about their subject, eager to impart knowledge and can understand the types of problems challenging students.

As always, we welcome any suggestions made to improve our website/tutoring service. We encourage you to contact us with all your suggestions and comments at [email protected]. We hope to develop the service through all our experience.
