Why are we launching a new platform?
We hear that you’re looking for more work. And as a business, bringing you more opportunities works hand in hand with our mission to impact more learners' lives.
You get consistent income from a term’s worth of lessons
Students make more progress and establish healthy learning habits
Customers get better value for money
MyTutor reinvests more back into the business, to bring you a better platform, and more work, for years to come.
Where can customers find the new platform?
On a seperate website where we can launch and improve quickly. It's custom-built to support long-term learning.

What else is new on the platform?
Free meetings are called Study Plan Consultations
They're still free, 15-minute meetings. But they're more than just an intro. It’s time to come up with a long-term game plan together. Read more about how to handle them here.
Customers unlock special features
The first one available is Study Plans, where students rate their confidence levels across all topics in a particular subject.
They'll show you what to focus on first, reducing your planning time. They'll help students track their progress and boost their confidence. And they'll make it clear to customers that they're getting great value for their money.
The features are designed to supplement learning and maximise the impact of your tuition. To find out when we release more, keep an eye out for our weekly tutors’ update. We send it to you via email, when you log in and in the tutor community.
You may notice some features you love aren’t available on the new platform yet. We’re building this from the ground up, so they’re likely already on our to-do list.
Lesson reports are on the horizon, but in the meantime, sending a quick post-lesson message highlighting what you covered, and what's next, is sure to keep your customers happy.
If you have suggestions, click the “Feedback” button as you use the platform.
Pre-payment protects you from last-minute cancellations
If a customer cancels within 24 hours, you’ll still be paid (and don’t have to show up).
And you’ll still have control. If you’d prefer to refund the customer, you can choose to cancel the lesson yourself to refund their payment as lesson credit. Find out more about that here.
Your earnings and payment will work differently.
How do I join the new platform?
We’ll invite private tutors in small batches over the next 6 months, starting with the most popular subjects (Maths and Science). So keep an eye out for an invite email from us.
Can I teach on both platforms?
Yes, you can take on new students in the usual way from www.mytutor.co.uk You have the choice to work across both (or either of) the platforms.
And if you decide to work on both, we recommend keeping a note of which customers you have on each site. To avoid any mix-ups when logging in.
