Tutormint: personalised one-to-one online tutoring for UK students

Tutormint is an online tutoring platform that delivers live one-to-one lessons to students in the UK. Its offering covers Maths, English and Science, with specific preparation for KS3, KS4, GCSE, A-Level and the 11+ exam. Lessons are tailored to each student's year group, curriculum and academic goals, and are taught from home.

Background and teaching approach

The company was founded by a tutor with over ten years of teaching experience in home settings, tuition centres and online. According to her account, the project was born from two identified gaps: an education system that often prioritises the results of already high-achieving students and leaves behind those who need real support, and the difficulty faced by families new to the British system in navigating key stages, exams and levels. Tutormint presents itself as a response to both, with one-to-one lessons focused on understanding rather than memorisation, and with guidance for families who are getting to grips with the UK education system.

Services and levels covered

The platform organises its offering around three axes: subjects, levels and exam preparation. In subjects, it covers Maths, English and Science, with dedicated GCSE and A-Level tutoring in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. In levels, it caters for KS3, KS4/GCSE and A-Level. In exam preparation, it offers topic revision, practice with exam-style questions and support for GCSE, A-Level and 11+. It also provides tutoring in Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Student profile

Tutormint is aimed at students who find Maths, English or Science difficult, who need help with homework or classwork, who are preparing for GCSE, A-Level, 11+ or entrance exams, or who lack confidence in class or in tests. It also supports those who learn better with one-to-one attention and those who need flexible timetables compatible with school and family life.

How lessons work

The process begins with a free demo class in which the student's country, curriculum, level, subject and learning goal are collected. Their current level, weak areas and school or exam targets are then assessed. Next, a tutor is assigned according to subject, level, curriculum and availability. Lessons are one-to-one, live and online, with regular practice. Parents receive updates on topics covered, homework, performance and next steps.

Tutor selection and safeguarding

The company states that it prioritises quality over quantity of tutors. Before joining, each tutor must demonstrate experience teaching their subject at the levels they will tutor. Matching is done by subject, level, exam and personality, and if the combination doesn't work, it is changed at no cost. All lessons take place via Google Meet, and parents can sit in on any lesson at any time without notice. Tutors communicate with students through Tutormint, never privately, and parents receive updates after lessons. The company has a published safeguarding policy.

Pricing and terms

The platform's catalogue indicates that lessons start from £15 per session, with a duration of one hour. Prices vary by level: 11+ from £15, KS3 from £15, GCSE from £20 and A-Level from £25. The first demo class is free, there are no sign-up fees or contracts, and it is possible to pause or stop the service at any time.
