Our take

Tutorful is an online education company that aims to provide students across the UK with the perfect tutor throughout their whole education journey. Over 2 million lessons have been taught using their platform since the company was founded in 2015.

They differentiate themselves by only taking on highly qualified tutors - around 1 in 7 applicants are successful in their selection process. Moreover, they want to attract users through their flexibility- for example, children can book lessons between 7 am and 10 pm every day and their tutors will teach them according to their learning style and preferences.

Tutorful's recent funding will be used to focus on their European expansion, having already launched in Ireland and France.
