“Confusing and difficult to understand, no mention of the need to pay for contact information before contact with the chosen tutor was allowed and after several failed e mails, that were censored by First Tutor, threats made against the tutor herself to remove her from the First Tutor site for breeching rules. Just not worth the effort and aggravation.”

Dear Ian, I am sorry to hear that you found the site confusing. We aim to make the process of contacting a tutor as streamlined as possible and are sorry you did not find this to be the case. We do indicate on the homepage that there is a fee payable to connect with your chosen tutor and we do not permit the exchange of contact details prior to our fee being paid. I see that you contacted Customer Support and we explained how the site worked, which I hope was helpful. I hope all is going well with your new tutor. If you need any assistance please do get in contact with Customer Support again. Kind regards, First Tutors

Dear Jane, We are sorry to see your feedback. In instances where a tutor is not a good match, we are able to provide a replacement tutor at no further charge. I can see that you engaged with two tutors and made the decision to change tutors without giving the tutors the opportunity to have a first session. I have reviewed your account and can see that you have been given two replacement tutors free of charge. Please refer to your emails in relation to this matter. Kind Regards, First Tutors

“Unable to help with my request (tutor to work with my child face to face at tutors choice of venue) despite this being an offered option on the website. I approached a number of local tutors some of whom were unresponsive - perhaps they were as disappointed by the site's service as I was - and when I thought i had found a suitable candidate discovered at the eleventh hour that my specific request of face to face working at the tutors choice of venue had not been passed on to them. This appears to be an issue with the first tutors website and not with the individual involved. I paid a £25 fee for the details of this tutor who was not able to offer what I needed. First tutors did offer to provide contact details of alternative tutoring candidates to me without further 'finders fee' charges however there were no other candidates on the site who were local, responsive and able to offer what my child required. I ultimately made alternative arrangements outside of the website somewhat poorer but certainly wiser - I suppose first tutors did teach me something just not what I'd wanted or needed”

“I wanted her to phone or email me rather than a small text box, the tutor said she can help, I paid the £20 Fee. She only had available starting 2weeks away, after 7pm for an 11 year old and lived 20min drive away and it was stated it would be easier for me to drive to her twice a week equaling 160min driving a week for me. Had I been able to ask these questions before for example a phone call or email I wouldn’t have chosen her. I found somebody more local on Facebook for free. He is a teacher with amazing reviews, 5min from me and willing to travel to me. I found FB more efficient do to the restrictions on this site, I wouldn’t bother using it again.”

“Easy to access and pay fee of £20. Communication with tutor at the beginning to establish level of learning and nothing since despite further communications from my side. Now over a month. Don’t know if something is wrong or if tutor has changed their mind. At the moment I wouldn’t use this site again to find another tutor”
