Why parents choose us

What makes NovaTutors different

Four things that shape every lesson we arrange, from your first message to your child's next exam.

Vetted tutors

Who are the tutors?

Every tutor on the NovaTutors platform has gone through our tough interview process — personally vetted, interviewed and tested so we know they really know their stuff. Our tutors are current students or graduates of the UK's best universities, and they've achieved top grades in the same exams your child is preparing for. Tutors and students also get free access to our curated bank of learning resources for homework and revision.

Help from us, whenever you need it

The team at NovaTutors is on hand to help at every stage of your journey with us. Email or call and one of our tutor-matching experts will help get you set up. Hate waiting on hold or talking to chatbots? So do we. We're a small business, so when you message us you're often talking to one of our founders, not a call centre.

No lock-in

Monthly memberships and pay-as-you-go

We hate being forced into unnecessary contracts, and we're guessing you do too. With a Learning Membership you get four hours of tutoring every week and can cancel any time. Use your lesson credits each month, and book additional lessons pay-as-you-go whenever you need them.

Fair pricing

The UK's most affordable tutoring prices

Some tutoring platforms take up to 45% of the tutor fee — pay £25 for a lesson and your tutor sees just £13.75. NovaTutors is built and owned by tutors (you'll still find our two founders tutoring here), so we make sure our tutors get the fairest deal possible. Your money goes into your child's learning, not corporate dividends. Simply put, we're teachers, not investment bankers.
