Salary benchmarks
Our take
Private tutoring is a huge market traditionally dominated by expensive agencies (who charge extortionate hourly rates and take a big cut from the tutors that work for them by acting as the middleman).
The average starting price for tutoring can hit £50 an hour in London, MyTutor’s prices start from a much more affordable £18 an hour (the company can charge this low by cutting out the middle man).
MyTutor has built technologies to make online tutoring sessions smooth (e.g. it built an online whiteboard and makes it easy to share documents and upload past papers). All sessions are recorded so you can also play them back when they've finished. Along with academic support, the company prides itself in building confidence and providing mentorship.
The online EdTech industry has really blown up over the past few years and it highlighted the need for an online service that helps fill the gaps in today’s education system by delivering personalised support tailored to the individual. As MyTutor is conducted purely online, it can now really focus on providing quality education to a much wider audience.
