I’m a Parent article! Answering your questions about how MyTutor Memberships works

Updated over a week ago

If you have joined our MyTutor Memberships and want to know more, you can find answers to top questions asked by Parents around the Memberships below.

How do I get started on MyTutor?

It’s easy to get started on MyTutor with Memberships 😊 You just need to set up an account and then let us know more about the student and what they’re looking to study.

Once you fill in the extra information on what your student is looking to study you will be able to send out your first tutor request! You can see this request sitting in the Find a tutor section.

Once a tutor has replied you will see the request card have a note saying Matches ready, and the request will have a View tutors button appear. Once you click the button you can see the tutors who have replied and view their profile so you can choose your perfect match.

Still not sure if the tutor is your perfect match? You can request a Study Plan Consultation by clicking the Meet for free button. Find out more about what they are here

What are MyTutor Memberships?

MyTutor Memberships set students up for success with tutoring that’s targeted, consistent, and fun. They work by combining regular 1:1 tutoring sessions with top-tier educational tech that makes sure no stone is unturned when preparing for school exams and beyond.

Students with a membership plan notice their grades increasing in as few as 6 lessons – and they feel more confident about their subjects, too. Here’s how it works:

Targeted tuition

Each plan follows a unique learning journey that’s tailored to the student’s strengths and weaknesses. From the first free Study Plan Consultation with a tutor to the final stages of exam prep, the support starts and ends with the student’s individual needs.

Consistent learning

Every plan revolves around regular, hour-long 1:1 tutoring sessions with a single tutor who’s selected to bring out the best in their student. Every family chooses the best tutor for them from a handpicked shortlist, meeting potential tutors for free before starting. And if the tutor ever needs to be changed, we’ll find a new match quickly to avoid any interruptions.

Fun

We’re very picky about who can tutor with us: only 1 in every 8 applicants makes it through our process. That’s because we’re not just looking for people who can teach a subject. We’re looking for people who can do so in an engaging way – and who school students will relate to. Our tutors combine a passion for their subject with an online learning environment that makes every lesson interactive, hands-on, and enjoyable.

Membership plans allow complete flexibility for when lessons take place, last from 3-6 months, and can be extended as desired.

How do I buy a tutoring plan?

Once you’ve met your tutor and are happy with your Study Plan Consultation results, you can choose a tutoring plan and get started with lessons! 🚀

To do so, click on ‘Select a tutoring plan’ from your tutor’s profile.
