Managed to get a couple of good tutors from the side. After paying the fee for the website we are free to arrange lessons independently with the tutor. No free chat before paying the fee for the details of the tutor. No option to search very specific exam boards.

It can seem a bit fiddly to start off with, regarding navigating. After a few minutes, you find your way around. When it says "release details" yes, you do have the pay £9.99 currently. I can only assume that this is to make sure people are genuine, or it's the minimal charge the company makes for advertising tutors. They have a myriad of tutors, and experience is thus reflected in the price the tutors charge. So far our experience has been good. I will update my review at a future date, when we're further along. They do however, seem genuine.

Akbar is an excellent tutor, my daughter really enjoys her lessons with him and he has really helped her tremendously with her studies. I would highly recommend Akbar!

First Tutors provides a wide range of tutors with very detailed descriptions of their strengths and experiences, which enables you to perfectly match a tutor with your student’s needs. All tutors are easily contactable, and promptly answer any question or query, meaning that you are able to make a very informed decision when selecting the perfect tutor. I was initially concerned about paying the £29.99 finders fee, as this has to be paid before any tuition takes place (and before any tuition fees have been paid). As at this stage there is no way of knowing if the tutor you have selected will meet your needs, and there is no guarantee that the partnership is going to work, and therefore it feels like a bit of an expensive gamble. Although I’m pleased that we took that gamble, as the tutor that we selected is perfect for our daughter, I still think that the finders fee is a little high, and a £10-£15 charge would have been more acceptable - hence the ‘Good’ rating, rather than ‘Very Good’.

First Tutors gave me the opportunity to review several potential tutors to find the best fit. It facilitated contact and allowed for lessons to be organised in a very short time. The fee charged for the service is very reasonable. Overall, I have been delighted with the experience.
