MyTutor Reviews 

Ben is an excellent tutor. In a very short time he is highlighting issues our son has in English which I wish one of his teachers had addressed many years ago. Would recommend him to everyone - really good

This teacher is amazing he is helping my daughter a lot I am lucky I find this Center for extra steady support

Great so far, really patient, on time and supportive.

Helpful and constructive.

So far the tuition has been great very attentive and prepared.

Very easy to use. There are admin staff at the back to help you to find tutors to match your needs if necessary. The tutors would send you a report after lesson so that you can know what/how your kids did and what's the plan in next lessons.

At the beginning, we had one teacher, but after a few lessons we decided to cancel as the teaching method was not suitable for our son. After that, we had five free online meetings with different teachers and chose Prashanth. He is a lovely maths teacher who explains concepts clearly and always sends a report after each lesson. Would highly recommend 😊

My son relates well with Nasco and is gaining confidence

Holly has been an amazing tutor for our daughter and has made a real impact.

We found a great tutor for A level psychology and the customer service is very good, as well.

My daughter had an excellent experience with Kanika for GSCS math tutoring. She explained difficult concepts clearly, was incredibly patient, and tailored each session to her pace and needs. Her real-world examples made abstract topics much easier to grasp, and her structured lesson plans helped her track progress and stay motivated.

Key strengths:
- Clear explanations of challenging topics (algebra, geometry, calculus concepts relevant to GSCS)
- Personalised lesson plans targeting her weak areas
- Regular practice with progress checks and timely feedback
- Punctual, supportive, and responsive to questions between sessions

Results:
- Notable improvement in understanding and problem-solving skills
- Increased confidence ahead of GSCS assessments
- Steady improvement in practice scores and test readiness

We are so happy about My Tutor. Customer services are very nice , different ranges of teachers are available.

My Daughter has really connected with the tutor, The tutor has a great way to keep her engaged and happy to learn.

Short summary: You'll pay £55+ for a DBS check and never get any jobs. It also is overpriced for parents with the website taking a larger cut than any others.

The signup process is slow, but somewhat understandably as you have to do an enhanced DBS check (you don't have to do this if you've done one in the last 12 weeks). I began the process in mid October and only finished the sign up process at the start of November.

The slow signup process itself is manageable. What's really annoying is how you get assigned jobs. Once you're signed up you get about 1 email every 2 days asking if you can take a 'cover slot', which is a one off session covering for another tutor. This means you don't get a regular tutee, but is a feature that I imagine is quite good for tutees who would otherwise miss a session so I can understand it's value. However, they're assigned on a first come first serve basis meaning if you are not constantly checking your emails you absolutely will not get a slot (I think for cover slots the fastest I've checked is within 30 minutes and it was already gone). As far as I can tell these also don't take into account the times you've said you're available, making them even more useless (I've said I'm free every evening and weekend and have had slots offered to me all times of the day during the week). I've yet to book a single cover slot in the last 2 months.

In addition to the one off cover sessions, you will about twice a week get an email saying there's a recurring slot available. This is more normal tutoring, where you would have a student for a set of (normally 10) lessons. However, like the cover slots these are assigned on a first come first serve basis with emails sent out at random times. I actually happened to check my email (purely by chance) within 4 minutes of receiving one of these, thinking I would finally get a chance to book something. Alas, the slot was already gone so I've yet to book on to a reccuring slot either.

All this is assuming you also remember to 'boost' your account every week, which makes the system know you're actively looking for work. Not sure why that isn't the default.

Add to that that the sign up system is quite poor and overall I'd say it's a useless experience. The only possible upside is the online classroom features (you have to use their inbuilt system, which is good for safeguarding) seems decent, but like I said I've not actually had a slot yet to test it out. In fairness it may well be better for other subjects, but for STEM this is my experience.

I of course think the DBS check is important, but there must be a better way than paying that much money up front to then be assigned jobs based on first come first serve.

Tejas likes him and says he is learning all from him. Good teacher and would definitely recommend.

My son has been using MyTutor for a few weeks now and it has been super impactful. The tutor is great, really engaging and my son looks forward to the lessons. The booking is easy, system is great to navigate around and the overall experience has been excellent

My daughter enjoyed every bit of it. Feel sad to stop

The actual tutoring and arrangements are great. It took a while to get a tutor in the first place but once we did, then all good.

The fact MyTutor has come off of the BrightHorizons platform is a huge shame and will stop me using the service long term

Isabella creates a wonderful learning environment that my daughter feels safe exploring a subject she struggles in and she has gained confidence.

So far so good.
