A member of this site for a few years, and was very happy with it. However, over the last year, I have had zero bookings, despite having several clients in the past with 4/5 star reviews. The high cost of membership combined with their CUT on every lesson has bumped up prices unaffordable for both tutors and students. I would suggest looking eleswhere, indeed I am registering with other sites and pretty much dumped this one.
I have used tutors for both my sons at A & GCSE level and have always found great teachers. The site is user friendly, it allows you to really see what skills and experience teachers have. TutorHunt responds well & efficiently to me as a parent.
I have been a tutor on this platform since 2012 and got most of my students through them. It used to be very easy, small fee for the students to pay to get my details- that's it. Now it's become ridiculous! Not only they retain a percentage on every hour taught but suddenly I have been struggling to get my profile 'verified' because I have a DBS on the gvt s Update Service and they don't accept it! You heard me, they don't accept my DBS although it is enhanced and automatically updated every year. I work in colleges. It's become a total joke. Disappointed.
This is a good website. I have found excellent tutors. It is easy to navigate. The response from customer service is good. There is ample information about each tutor including a rough idea of location.
Dr Margaret is helping my daughter prepare for her Chemistry A' level. We have found Margaret to be very professional, patient, and calm, and is explaining things in a clear, understandable way which is really helping my daughter, who is really enjoying her sessions with her. We are delighted to have found Margaret and are already finding the sessions are very beneficial towards her A level after only a few weeks.
Testimonial
Debbie has been the best tutor we've found for helping our daughter with her Biology, Chemistry and Physics revision. She has found her GCSE exams much easier having had lots of practice on exam technique and past papers with Debbie. I would highly recommend her as a tutor for any science subject.
Tried several tutors on this site. In all fairness, Tutorhunt provided new contact details when I informed them tutors were unable to teach WJEC updated GCSE examinations. My family can deal with odd. The inability to tutor subjects we paid for are a no, no. Tutors turn up without having researched or updated their skills for the examination board students are studying. Complete waste of everyone's time and parents money.
We found this site was excellent. Engaging, user friendly and easy to use. Our daughter has been working with our tutor for a month, and I can see the difference already!
After searching other sites with no success, we registered with TutorHunt and found a couple of available tutors for us that day. I would recommend the service as it is fast and easy to use. They were even cheaper than the alternatives we tried as well.
We have weekly tuition with Andrew for Maths A-level. My Son gets on very well with him and although we've only had 4 lesson so far, I'm confident that it will help my sons confidence greatly over time. The tutor is very patient and explains the course well to my son. Thanks :)
I have found 2 tutors on Tutorhunt and have been happy with both. I find it best to make a detailed enquiry with potential tutor and if they are what I am looking for I purchase details. In this way I can find out if they have specific exam board experience for instance. All tutors have replied promptly to me over the past 3 years so I am happy to continue using them. It seems people here are buying details without checking availability.
Easily found a tutor for my child - they have so many. It was easy to search, and helpful to talk to as many as I wanted. This let me find the right one. I think tutors are better than schoolteachers! One on one, vs a noisy class of 30. I don't think any other site has so many tutors - I tried another but it said there were none nearby, then I tried Tutor hunt and there were many to choose from very close to us. My son got an A* thanks to his excellent tutoring.
Tutor Hunt is great, we've used it for over 3 years now and have found 4 great tutors during this time. You need to communicate with the tutors yourself initially but it's worth the effect as you continue to deal directly with the tutor once you employ them. Really decent service and would recommend.
With everyone else's kids getting tutors I felt mine needed them just to get a fair deal! I tried a lot of the other sites, but this one was by far the best. Great selection - you can message the tutor as much as you like before you meet them. Just one tutor was able to teach both of my children, as they were offering both Physics and chemistry.
Tutor Hunt was a great resource for tutors when we searched around 9 months ago to improve my sons maths. His GCSEs went well and we're very happy with the results he acheived. TutorHunt supplied us a great tutor.
I was told by my daughter's teacher that she was having trouble in a couple of subjects. I asked if there was any way the teacher could make more time for her. No help there - not her fault I suppose, what with jam packed classrooms. Well I Knew I needed some extra help for my daughter, so tuition was the obvious choice. I tried a few other sites, but wasn't too impressed. Tutorhunt were very good. I found a tutor for my daughter quickly, and now she's much happier - her grades have really improved. As a mother you obviously want the best for you child. I would recommend tutorhunt to any parent who's concerned about their child's schooling.
I needed to find a tutor for my son, who is currently struggling with his GCSE maths. After signing up I found someone on the site who was very close by. This tutor was really excellent, and explained things to my son in a way that made things clear. I've since found two other tutors on tutorhunt - one A level teacher for my eldest daughter, and a German teacher for my other son. Really happy with the results.
I was wary about looking for a tutor online, but i'm so glad I did. My daughter is doing better at school now. Couldn't be happier with tutorhunt. You don't even have to pay to talk to as many tutors as you like - I tried other sites, and they charged to sign up. Anyway I'm just a mum who wants the best for my daughter. This site really helped.
I had been wanting to learn the guitar for years. Someone told me about this site, and I used it to find a guitar teacher. I'm so glad I did. Esteban is an excellent teacher. I'm no Jimi Hendrix yet, but give me time!
Last month I found 3 tutors from this site, however one was unresponsive, so I contacted support and was offered another tutors details instead or a refund. After changing one tutor, i've found all 3 to be excellent. My only complaint was no discount was offered on multiple purchases. I'm unsure why as I can't be the only one seeking more than one tutor.
Answer: Firstly I would like to say I am sure this site is legitimate and there are genuine tutors willing to help. However my daughters experience has been far from positive as the tutor which I paid a fee of £23 for has no subject knowledge of what we require (this was not brought to light before we purchased their details). Following a rather unusual phone call the tutor has now sent an abusive email. I fear this is instead of admitting lack of subject knowledge. As a result I would say stay away from this site, however this could be an isolated incident.
