“Jack is a great tutor for my niece who is doing her first year A-level study. He is punctual and very organised. He is really good to explain on difficult concepts, as he has excellent subject knowledge. His tutoring with good knowledge tends to make the lessons interesting and inspiring. He puts a good effort into preparing lessons and he has shown how to deliver lessons with pace and enthusiasm. His tutoring is really helpful for my niece! Thank you Jack. I would gladly recommend him to those who are concerned with Physics.”

“Maybe it's just me? But paying for a tutor is expensive enough without having to have to pay a finders fee as well :( Also, I tried contacting First Tutors and looks like there is no contact phone number available..”

Dear Paul, Thank you for your feedback. We charge a finders fee because this helps cover the costs of ID checks, reference collection, qualification verification etc. which provides extra peace of mind to parents and students alike. If you click the "contact us" tab at the bottom of the webpage to send us a message we will get back to you within the hour usually, we provide this service 7 days a week. We see that you only contacted one tutor but it's free to contact as many tutors as you wish, you only pay once you decide which tutor you wish to go ahead with. Please contact us if you experience any problems with your tutor. We are here to help. Thank you for using First Tutors.

“My credit card was refused, although I have been using it everywhere online and the only other option provided was to send a bank draft that would have cost 3 times the fee. The tutor's qualifications are not verified so it's no better than using kijiji or craigslist.”

Dear Susan, We are sorry to hear about the difficulties you had with making payment. I can see that our customer support team helped identify the problem and provide an alternative payment method. With regard to qualifications, if they have been uploaded and checked by First Tutor sstaff, they will appear as 'on file' on the tutors public profile. I can see that your tutor has provided us with their qualification copies. Unlike free services, our fee's help cover the cost of reference checks which offers peace of mind when choosing your tutor. Wishing you the best of luck with your English lessons. Kind Regards, Sarah First Tutors Customer Support

“Ganz herzlichen Dank für die gute Vermittlung! Es war für mich recht einfach, einen passenden Tutor für mich zu finden. Nachdem ich mich dann auch mit meinem schlechten Englisch durch die Seiten gesucht habe, ging es auch ganz schnell mit der Bezahlung.”

“Very useful tool to reach a wide spread of tutors while providing peace of mind as the background work is already done, i.e. qualifications and reference checks. The provision of references also helps narrow down the suitability of the tutor to facilitate the most appropriate fit. I needed a tutor urgently for my daughter when circumstances led her teacher to resign quite suddenly just a few weeks before the exams. I was well served by First Tutors organising a tutor within 2 days.”
