Tutorful will scam you penalty automatically
I have used this platform for 5 years. It was good. But the system recently changed to force you to book a lesson even before messaging to the tutor for details. The system will book the lesson in the same day automatically, that's why you will cancel with penalty. Support from Emily will always telling you the company policy to support Tutorful has rights to charge the penalty. She only see her screen shots without looking at the IT log details whether it's reasonable for a user would book a lesson in less than 24 hours （at the same time I chat with the tutor about his availability). I have deleted this after 5 years usage.

Hi Wen,
Thank you for providing your feedback and for being with us for 5 years, we truly value your long term support.
We're sorry to hear about your recent experience. To clarify how the system works, when submitting a lesson request, students can choose any date and time that the tutor has marked as available. Once a lesson is booked and confirm, students are then able to message the tutor directly to discuss lesson details, goals or any other arrangements. The system does not automatically book a lesson for the same day unless that specific day or time has been selected.
Our booking and cancellation policies are in place to protect both students and tutors and to ensure fairness on the platform. We're sorry if any part of the process felt unclear or unfair.
If you'd like to discuss further, please reach out to us at support@tutorful.co.uk.
Kind regards,

I have found tutorful a great resource for finding tutors for my daughter studying her GCSE's. Most importantly being able to have a 15 minute chat to see if the tutor seems to be the right fit, but also the detailed biog and reviews have been brilliant. We currently have two tutors working with her and easiest of all it is all on line, and I can review the lessons afterwards if I want.

I am so grateful for Tutorful. Two happy kids with two exceptional teachers. Their grades have gone up and they feel more confident at their subjects. The tutors I found are so nice and patient. They make the subjects interesting. A good teacher (or two) is all it takes!

Beware of this website. They have hidden charges
Beware of this website. This website has been made for Tutors and in their favor rather than the student. My son fell sick and could not attend. He was charged full fees even though we provided a valid reason. We could not cancel as he fell sick just a hour before the class. They charge you full class charge if you cancel within 24 hours. Due to any circumstances if the student is unable to attend, they charge full even though there is a valid reason. Very unprofessional experience. If you are a student it’s a disadvantage on this platform. Worst experience from my end and I deregistered and blocked this provider as their policies are anti student.

Hi,
Thank you for getting in touch.
We are so sorry to hear that your son fell ill. We hope that they are feeling better.
We have created our cancellation policy to protect both our students and tutors. You may cancel a lesson at any time from your dashboard and a lesson is not cancelled unless cancelled on the system.
Lessons may be cancelled more than 24 hours before the start time for free. If a lesson is cancelled less than 24 hours before the start time of the lesson, your tutor may enforce a 50% or 100% late cancellation fee, but this is up to them. We understand that given the circumstances this is very frustrating.
If you have any further questions regarding our cancellation policy or anything else, please feel free to reach out to us at support@tutorful.co.uk.

Very bad service.
Very bad service.
1.They charge a lot of commision to students ,30% and this info is HIDDEN to them.
They say they are transparent and they are NOT.
2. Every time I send a message to a student it appears the message, "pls, just message within the platform". ,"payments are safe with us"...etc . This is a control technique based on fear to students-parents.
This creates lack of communication and trust ,as some students don't reply to tutor's messages and they also prefer to book within platform as they are not aware of the huge commision.
Stutents think that they are protected within the platform and they are NOT. They are scammed.
Also, a student's parent confirmed that their school recommended Tutorful platform...humm..maybe they get commision for advertise them.
3.. Tutorful confirms that the high commision to students is to invest in their platform.
Well, communication with Tutorful is really bad.The platforrm doesn't work well neither... I sent some emails and they don't respond if we have any issue with a student or the-platform.
Be aware of them, as these tactics are scam, for students and tutors.
I prefer to work with a legit-honest company with good-clear communication who respect tutors ,doesn't hide huge commision to students and they do what they say.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you've had a negative experience with our platform.
Students are always shown the full lesson price when booking a lesson. This total includes our service fee, so there are no additional or hidden charges. Our service fee supports secure payments, platform development, customer support, marketing to attract students and the technology needed to provide a safe and reliable service.
We encourage communication to remain on the platform to support safeguarding, quality assurance, and so we can step in quickly if any issue arises between tutors and students.
However, we really value your feedback as it helps us to improve our services.
We're committed to transparency and to providing a trusted platform for both tutors and students. If you'd like to discuss your experiences further, we'd be happy to speak with your directly at support@tutorful.co.uk.

Dear Mina,
Thank you for sharing this with us, although we're naturally disappointed to learn that you are having difficulty cancelling some lessons with us.
You are absolutely right that our online features should allow for cancelling lessons from both students and tutors via your online account.
So long as this is cancelled within the 24 hour notice period, as per our policy, no fee will be charged.
I can see you seem to have reached out to us via email very recently, so I have replied to your email and look forward to a response, so that we can further investigate this for you.
In the meantime, thank you again for sharing this and we look forward to resolving this promptly and swiflty.
Best wishes, Tutorful Team
