“We liked that we were charged just once for the introductory fee”

“Money making, anyone can list themselves as tutor, you do not CRB check tutors which I feel since First Tutors charge a fee this should most definitely be included to somewhat safe guard the tutee regardless of “the law” which is stated on your website. You are paying for details of someone that you have never met or even spoken to as First Tutors controls communication through limited messaging through their website and will only release the telephone numbers etc once you have paid their fee. There is no protection for the tutee. I think this is a terrible way of encouraging people including parents and children to find a tutor and I do not recommend.”

Dear Jemma, Thank you for your feedback. It is true that private tuition is not regulated like teaching and that tutors aren't required to hold a current DBS certificate. We do actively encourage all tutors on our site to indicate prominently if they have a current DBS and to take this with them to the first tuition session along with all their other documentation. We carry out identity checks on every tutor and obtain independent references to ensure that they will provide quality tuition. Of course children should always be accompanied to every tuition session by a parent or guardian for safeguarding reasons. If there is ever any safeguarding issue we do of course actively encourage you to get in touch. Kind regards, Customer Service Team First Tutors

“We viewed a range of tutors and then chose the one we thought was best for us. He replied very quickly and we promptly arranged to meet and discuss what would be required and set some dates for sessions. Very satisfied with First Tutors as a means for finding a tutor and the layout of the website to provide information about them. Obviously response times are down to the individual tutor.”

“My first lesson with Valentina was obviously more of a “getting to know” each other & seeing if we connect rather than a “formal” lesson. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hour went by so quickly. I learned some things that have been confusing me for sometime. I’m very much looking forward to our next lesson next week. Thank you Valentina!”

“I think the intro fee is expensive especially for tutors that are only available short term or if you require more than one subject tutor.”

Dear Laura, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you have found our introduction fee to be expensive. Our introduction fee ranges between £4.99 and £24.99; we have a tiered fee structure to make the service as affordable as possible for everyone. Our fees help to cover the cost of completing identity and address checks, and obtaining two references for all our registered tutors, allowing you to choose with confidence. You can read more about how our fees compare with other services at the following link: https://www.firsttutors.com/uk/about-us/ I hope that you will have a successful tuition arrangement with your chosen tutor. If you need any assistance from Customer Support, please do contact us by email. Kind regards, First Tutors
