Excellent service
The profs have excellent customer service and are very quick to respond to a tutoring request. I was matched with a tutor within a couple of days had my first session a few days after that. My sessions have also been really useful and I feel much more confident about my university coursework.

Best tutor, boosted back my confidence
I never used tutor before. After I failed one of my exams once, I felt the need for further lessons. I found this website on google and it is the best decision I have ever made.
My FR tutor was Sherie and she was amazing. She boosted my confidence back and explained everything in so much detail. Her teaching methodology was amazing. I highly recommend Sherir as a tutor and I highly recommend this website as it offers the best tutors depending on your subject. I will be using this website for my upcoming exams.

First time using a tutor
Having never used a tutor before I would highly recommend people to use one now. Daniella offered a breadth of knowledge and insight into my application and in the space of two weeks we went from beginning to completing the process. If you are applying to an elite university and/or course and want to maximise your chances, a tutor will help you do that.

Incredibly personalised and detailed help with Personal Statement
I had 2 weeks until my Personal Statement deadline and a mediocre draft at best, I was matched with Nicholas to help me with my statement and it was the best possible outcome. He put in so many hours of effort and hard work as well as providing a clear path and outline for what had to be carried out on my end. In the end I would highly recommend the profs to anyone looking for a tutor whether it’s for a subject or for other academic needs.

Excellent personal service with experienced tutor
We have had great experience with this company. Firstly we were helped to find the right philosophy tutor to help my daughter prepare for a university interview. The match was really carefully done and was perfect. Secondly the tutor was really top notch, she prepared carefully tailored sessions. The result has been a significant growth in my daughter’s ability to tackle tricky philosophical questions and to respond to challenge. This is exactly what we hoped to achieve.

Personal Statement Guidance
I used The Profs for guidance for my personal statement. Nicholas, my tutor, was really great at giving insight into what the UK is really looking for in applicants and provided critical feedback to improve what I had written. He also guided my selection process for universities, which I found very helpful as an international student.

Highly recommended for UK Uni External Advisors
We found The Profs from Google search. They were very responsive and provided us with the necessary information on costs and process clearly. They assigned the advisor (Nick) who has expertise for the major our child would like to apply.
Nick is very professional and very supportive. His expertise is invaluable. Our child likes him a lot and is able to work well with him.
Highly recommended!

Highly recommend Saffron Prescott for English Language tutoring!
Saffron was incredibly helpful guiding me through A level English Language. My practice grades have significantly improved since being her student for only a few months before my exams and my confidence in my essay-writing ability and overall content knowledge has also soared! She is very knowledgable as well as thorough in her classes and always has great feedback that is easy to take on. Her passion for English is really motivating and engaging, I felt very supported with the extra time and effort she put into teaching me. With her help I am headed for an A* in A Level English Language! Thank you Miss Prescott.

Excellent, adaptable and highly dedicated tutor
Don skillfully steered our daughter through the materials in a complex game theory/public choice theory module in which she lacked any background. She found him highly knowledgeable and patient and methodical. She enjoyed the sessions and built confidence. He was indispensible in helping her through the module.

April was amazing she guided me through the entire personal statement process. We had a slight hiccup but she sorted it within the day free of charge. I really recommend her as she is an amazing writer. And will assist you with any questions you ask. I thank will for setting up the meeting and finding the right person very quickly and keeping extremely professional. If you struggle with what to say for your personal statement or how to start it I would give it go

Lack of transparency
After agreeing on a standard plan of 10 hours for £1,600 to support a 17-year-old student, the teacher reached a separate agreement directly with the student , without involving the parents , for additional hours, charged at nearly double the standard hourly rate.
This represents a serious lack of transparency from the institution. Be very careful about how they handle pricing and the way they make agreements with your sons or daughters

Dear Guglielmo,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry for any confusion surrounding your daughter’s additional sessions.
At the time of booking, all correspondence and contact details were provided under your daughter’s name, and we understood that she was authorised to manage her tuition independently. The initial 10-hour package was completed in full, after which she chose to continue on a pay-as-you-go basis at our standard hourly rate of £160 per hour, the same rate outlined in the original package.
We understand your concern about not being contacted directly regarding these further arrangements.
Unfortunately, we were not provided with alternative contact details beyond your daughter’s at the time and your initial payment authorisation. We appreciate your feedback on ensuring clearer communication with parents or bill payers, and we will take this on board to strengthen our processes.
We hope that your daughter’s tutor has been able to provide invaluable support towards her university application, and we would be happy to discuss this further with you directly if you wish.
Kind regards,
Emily was fantastic!

LLM Construction Law/ Tutoring
Firstly; I received immediate feedback and very quick communication from the Profs team as soon as I created my account. The communication was via email and via whats app which is very helpful.
Secondly; I was matched with profiles of several tutors really quickly who were aligned with my needs and the specialist focus in my course.
After beginning my tutoring program with my chosen tutor (Zaneta); things were very smooth and I found Zaneta to be highly qualified and very attentive to my personal needs. I am very glad things worked out for me with my first tutor match via the Profs.
I have been having a good experience and I highly recommend Zaneta to anyone seeking tutoring in Construction Law (noting I am seeking tutoring as per my enrollment in an LLM in Construction Law offered by the University of Law).
Zaneta is highly qualified with in depth specialist knowledge and a skilled teacher that is capable of sticking with the outline of the curriculum while also tailoring her approach to suit the student’s individual needs in a very balanced way. She is also very friendly and easy to engage with on a personal level.
