Very good tutor! Great choice for our Year 11 child studying for GCSE English, We have noticed some big improvements after just 4 sessions. Thank you
They made the job very easy to find a tutor for my son, I wish I had found this site before. I would recommend it.
They have been has been very good so far, our tutor has provided a nice relaxed work atmosphere and is friendly. I'm seeing improvements already.
Daughter been to Kate for a few weeks now and is really enjoying learning for year 11 GCSE. Wonderful tutor.
Site was easy to use. Plenty of tutors ranging a broad range of prices. Found the best tutor on this site. Definitely would recommend
Didn't seem to care care when a student cancelled last minute... I wasn't impressed with the way they handled it, took down my profile now!
Sarahs knowledge and style of tutoring is very helpful and we are glad to have found her. Good service
Becky is a great teacher. Our daughter Elisa had made such amazing progress since having lessons with Becky.
I can't recommend Becky enough!
We found a very friendly & positive tutor. So glad we used this site as extra support as it is having fantastic results.
I've been listed as a tutor on TutorHunt for about 8 years, and while it's nowhere near my primary source of clients I do get a small number every year and have also been discovered and given work by two agents through this site.
However over the last couple of years things have started to fall apart and revealed that their customer service and general attitude towards Tutors is prohibitively weak. There was a client who decided not to pay for her lesson and TutorHunt didn't so much as put a strike against her account when I contacted them for support. Then they decided to threaten my verified status and ask for new references despite having been an active tutor for so many years.
And now, the straw that led me to write this review:
I received an email a week or so ago saying my DBS was out of date and I needed to submit a new one. I wrote back and explained that my DBS has been registered on the Update Service all this time so they would just need to adjust their records accordingly.
Today I received a reply saying that they didn't have the means to do this. I replied saying that would be fine as long as my profile reflects that I have a valid and current DBS until they fix their system.
The reply I then got was a flat out refusal to do anything about it.
I've been using the DBS Update Service for 3 years. The system itself is at least a year older than that. TutorHunt should have been set up to work with it long ago.
It is extremely arrogant to suggest that an official system by which tutors maintain a valid, current, and paid for DBS certificate is somehow not worthy of TutorHunt, and bordering on fraudulent to show in the profiles of Tutors with DBS certificates that they do not have them.
The effect of this will be to alienate experienced tutors as only new tutors will have DBS that was first issued within 2-3 years and clients will understandably be reluctant to approach anyone else.
This will result in clients being misled into avoiding engaging the best tutors available.
Service was perfect for us and we were able to find a great tutor for our daughter. I would highly recommend this service for anyone.
Excellent service and extremely easy to use - I will use them again if I need another tutor for my son.
Great - I would have no hesitation in recommending our tutor to anyone. Thank you Neil. Glad I found Tutor Hunt.
Thank you very much. I would definitely recommend. Five stars! I can not thank you enough, my son received an A in his maths.
A really good service simple to use. Very Easy and quick to find tutors covering a wide area. Recommended
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.
