Flowers for Mothers’ Day

We chat to a lot of mums every day.

We’ve had the privilege of working with over 10,000 families delivering 100,000+ tutorials over a four-year period. And we’ve helped a lot of parents find tutors for their children – dads and guardians as well of course, but predominantly mothers. Here are 4 reasons why the mums we work with are so great.

1. They care a lot about their children’s education

The mums we speak to inspire us daily with their dedication to supporting their children’s studies. We’ll ask a few questions and it’s quickly clear how much they care and understand about their children’s confidence and ability in their school subjects. Consider now the dozens of parents we work with who have 4+ children! These mothers have an incredible capacity for emotional detail.

2. They get in touch with us

When pupils do well in exams or tests as a result of tutoring, it’s the mums who profusely thank their tutors and write in to tell us how brilliantly their children have done  – they’re the ultimate feedback loop (trust us, we hear from them if anything goes wrong, too). It’s a great dialogue to have and one that we’re grateful for.

3. They have really great ideas

Mothers have provided us with the most amazing insights for our product. Because they’re on the front line of the user experience, lots of mums have become product testers for MyTutor, and give us valuable input on new feature developments. Their time and constructive advice has allowed us to build something that we’re really proud of, and that works for everyone.

4. They talk to their friends about us

When they’ve enjoyed working with a tutor, it’s the mothers in our community who’ll spread the word with their personal networks and help tackle the misconceptions that surround online tuition. They’re our greatest ambassadors and insist that their friends try MyTutor.

So when Bloom & Wild asked if there was anyone we wanted to celebrate this Mothers’ Day, we said absolutely. And while this innovative flower delivery company could have sent 10,000+ bouquets, we limited ourselves and sent out bunches to 5 unsuspecting mothers. A small, symbolic gesture of thanks to our amazing parent community!
