How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
They spam me with irrelevant emails, and I am unable to delete my account, which is against the GDPR.
The website is also extremely unclear to navigate, missing many crucial options such as being able to change facts about yourself, and is generally a terrible user experience. Nowhere is there a privacy policy statement, so we don't know what they are doing with our information. Support is slow/non-existent, and overall this whole thing feels very dodgy.
Found me + very clear support from staff on linkedin.
Positive: The interview preparation sessions are well organised with clear objectives and feedback forms, the booking system is fairly intuitive, communication is good and the payment is reliable.
Could be improved: The website doesn't work well on mobile, which would make access much easier. Also, the booking times are all in Beijing time zone, which overcomplicates figuring out when a session could be taken, it would be better if the session time reflected the time zone of the academic. The communication, although effective, is overwhelming because we get multiple emails, including notifications at the wrong time (e.g. it says session one day from now but it is 2 or 3 days away) plus messages on LinkedIn and the website (for the website ones, I get emails about getting messages, every hour!), I would stick to one method. Also, please do bear in mind the time difference, changes to bookings and communication cannot happen at 2am in the morning, either Beijing or anywhere else time, it is fine to send notifications at those hours but not expect a response. There is no way to link sessions to a calendar, which would be extremely useful, right now I have to add them manually. Payment for a session (especially in emails) comes up with wrong numbers occasionally as well. It would be very useful if we could have a filter for different types of sessions, dates available and fee. For sessions that are more open-ended (i.e. not interview preparation), the objective of the sessions was not very clear, I think specially in cases were parents arrange the sessions, the objective of the sessions and session planning should be clarified before contacting the academics, we cannot write a session plan without meeting a student and getting a clear idea of their situation.
They do not pay their devs and designers. That's why until now, their homepage is sill a huge miss. The owner keeps demanding to this, do that, but now even
a single penny, they do not pay their employees. Their website is not even so modern. It's scattered. Please pay me. You still owe my services. Pay me please.

They asked for a session, it took three hours to prep, and then they didn’t pay.

They're perfectionists about ensuring high-quality work for clients! The tutors are very highly-qualified and the review system ensures that the best tutors are rewarded.

The team at VIPT is very responsive and supportive, whether the questions be about clients or general website use and company policy. Dealing with a marketplace structure (as the VIPT team does) with clients on one side and professionals on the other can be quite difficult, so the organization is appreicated.

I’ve been a tutor with VIPTutors for almost a year now and I’ve had a great experience. The support team are very quick at replying and are always happy to help. I really enjoy the work I do and it’s fulfilling to help students to achieve their academic goals. Also, I am super impressed by the company’s commitment to improving their website which makes it more user-friendly and easier to navigate. Thanks team, here’s to many more years working together!

A very disgusting owner (David) and Shiella are not a good person to work with. They will not give your pay if they will fire you. They want you to deliver the task on the same day which is very impossible and most of the Devs (front end and back end) makes complaint. Think many times when applying here. You may go to another platform that gives review with this company.

Really strong tutor support which many agencies fail to offer. They will respond to you quickly and always take your concerns seriously, and were helpful and understanding when I was having technical issues before a lesson. They are upfront about the amount they earn from your work which also inspires a collaborative and honest relationship. And, I think students get a good deal too as feedback forms have to be extensive and given my experience at other agency I feel their pricing is fair for the high quality students receive. Definitely worth working with them as a tutor or student!

I am thoroughly impressed by VIPTutors' exceptional support team. They truly go above and beyond to assist their tutors with any questions or concerns they may have. In fact, I've had the pleasure of experiencing their excellent customer service firsthand. Although the platform may have its limitations, it is still definitely worth considering.

They allocate assignments really efficiently and it is very clear what is required of a tutor when carrying out a task. The website is easy to navigate and I have gained a lot of useful experience working for VIP tutors.

I've greatly enjoyed my time with VIPTutors! The team is very flexible and always available to help with any questions or concerns I have.

It’s a great company and provides opportunities to support students with their research projects or teach courses on topics not often taught in high school (Ex. Behavioral economics)

I am so impressed with this tutoring service. I cannot recommend them any more highly. Every experience I've had has been positive (I've been using this for four months now so didn't want to leave a review until I was sure as it all looked too good to be true!). Great way for me to freelance to make money alongside my other commitments - always paid on time, great support team, enjoyable jobs. Thank you to the VIP Tutors team, I will be sticking with you for a long time!

Viptutors.co provides a top quality service by matching well-qualified tutors with international education clients.
I have found the support given to tutors exceptional, with the team working incredibly flexible hours to make sure the platform is functioning smoothly.
The compensation package is transparent and the lesson expectations are well defined. There is a reliable infrastructure in place and I have felt supported as a tutor. My students found through the service have had an excellent history with VIPTutors.
I would recommend VIPTutors to any tutor looking for international, remote-working tutoring clients.

VIPTutors is an excellent tutoring platform as it allows space for interactive learning and critical feedback, without this reflecting poorly on the performance assessment of its tutors. The students are provided with feedback within 24 hours, or similar short timelines, which enables them to take onboard ways to strengthen their performance and applications on short notice.
