Edumentors: online tutoring with graduates from elite UK universities

Edumentors is an online tutoring platform that connects students with private tutors who are graduates of Cambridge, Oxford and other leading UK universities. Its offering focuses on one-to-one sessions and covers educational levels such as 11+, GCSE, IGCSE, IB, A-Level and KS3, as well as a wide variety of subjects.

How the service works

The process is divided into three steps: registering to access the list of verified tutors, booking a free trial session with the chosen tutor and, once the right match is found, scheduling regular sessions adapted to the student's timetable. The platform states that it does not require upfront payment for the whole programme; instead, payment is made session by session, and payments are managed through Stripe.

Subjects and levels available

The catalogue of subjects is extensive and includes, among others, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English (language and literature), History, Geography, Computer Science, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Latin, Greek, Music, Art and Design, Economics, Business Studies, Psychology, Sociology, Law, Philosophy, Statistics, Sports Science, Accountancy and Computer Science. Subjects such as C++ and creative writing are also offered. The levels covered range from KS3 to A-Level, including GCSE, IGCSE, IB and 11+, with specific exam preparation.

The company highlights that its tutors come from leading UK universities, such as Cambridge and Oxford, and that they have teaching experience.
