“Japanese tutor”

I researched reviews for UKTUTORS website and pretty average to poor reviews. I took a chance, chose japanese, got some emails from 2 tutors, i chose one, paid my fee and linked up with a lovely japanese lady called KYOKO, she did skype lesson with my 10 yr old son, on time, was excellent and very sweet and friendly. I was delighted. We will be continuing with her lessons. Thanks UKTUTORS.

“Not sure if students are genuine”

After being registered as a tutor for months with no clients, I decided to withdraw from site. Next day, a potential student notification is received. It was apparent from what they were requesting that they had the UK and Scottish qualifications confused. I messaged the student for clarification of what they were studying and got no response. Then I found my log in no longer worked. I actually think, looking at other reviews here, I've had a lucky escape.

I can't fault the tutor I found through this website. I can however say I feel duped by the website. It wasn't made clear, in an up front way that they would charge me for accessing information. Charges are on the website, buy only if you look for them. I felt it made out that there was a special introductory offer for using them when in fact the charge was for them and not your lesson.

They blocked my account and did not respond to my emails.
Previous to that it seemed ok although I considered it a bit pricey.
I would not recommend it.

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!
