  • UK Tutors

8/12/11

I have worked as a tutor for 7 years and get a lot of students as I live near London where demand is high. In the past I have got quite a few students from UK Tutors but am now sick of the way they operate, which I regard as duplicitous. They are essentially nothing more than a database that sends automated emails. As people have commented further down the comments, there is zero customer service. There isn't even an option for students to give reviews of tutors. Yet when a tutee selects a tutor they are charged a high fee (around £20) as well as a 'one-off commission fee' (around £11) that the tutor is meant to collect from the student even in the situation that (as has happened to me) the lesson never takes place because the student decides against it. It is incredibly greedy to charge this much money for what is barely a service at all. None of the students were aware of the commission fee as the agency doesn't make it clear that they will have to pay it, which makes the tutor look bad. Steer clear, there are plenty of much better agencies!
