Info

About Spires:

Spires is a premier online tutoring marketplace connecting students and expert tutors worldwide. We support 400+ subjects at every level — Key Stage 3, GCSE/IGCSE, A level/IB, university admissions, undergraduate/Master’s/PhD, and a wide range of postgraduate and professional qualifications (e.g., CFA, accountancy, law, STEM, and specialist entrance tests).

Using machine learning, Spires surfaces the best-fit tutors for each brief — balancing subject expertise, academic level, availability, and budget. Classes are one-to-one, fully online, interactive (BitPaper whiteboard, screen share, resources), and automatically recorded so learners can replay sessions anytime.

Our impact at scale is clear. In 2024, Spires enabled 100,000+ classes delivered by 1,000 vetted tutors to 9,000 students across 120 countries. 81% of students reported a grade uplift, and lesson feedback averaged 4.97/5. In our 2025 client survey, students also reported strong outcomes across GCSE, A-level and undergraduate study — reflecting the platform’s emphasis on targeted, high-quality instruction.

Quality is non-negotiable. Only about 7% of tutor applicants are accepted, following interviews, enhanced background checks, and teaching simulations. Many tutors hold postgraduate qualifications (including PhDs) and university-level teaching experience; others bring chartered or professionally accredited expertise. Beyond credentials, we prioritise educators who personalise strategy, build confidence, and raise performance from the first lesson.

Spires also keeps costs transparent and competitive. Tutors set their own rates via an auction-style system, so families can choose the right balance of price, experience, and availability. The platform handles matching, scheduling, messaging, payments (Stripe) and recordings, so students can focus on learning.

Our approach has been widely recognised: National Tutoring Awards — ‘Technology Tools for Tuition’ (2024 & 2025) and ‘Tuition Partner of the Year’ (2024). With 1,000+ verified reviews and a consistently high satisfaction score, Spires is trusted by learners preparing for GCSEs, A levels, IB, admissions, dissertations, and professional exams worldwide.

Whether you need GCSE Maths support, Oxbridge admissions guidance, or postgraduate supervision, Spires delivers reliable, expert tutoring — matched to your goals, schedule, and budget.

Thanks to them, I have learnt an A-Level in Mathematics in ONE year with the help of their tutor KONSTANTINA, who is an excellent teacher and genuinely a good person.

“CHEMISTRY - STEVE ... Meeting Steve has sincerely changed my life … Steve is truly the most amazing teacher and shares with you a passion and joy for the subject material at hand. Studying Chemistry HL with Steve for the IB quickly turned into an activity I looked forward to. I have learnt things with Steve that I will remember forever!! Steve is wonderful – kind, considerate, caring and most of all encouraging. His enthusiasm is contagious and Steve thank you so much for all your help and guidance! I couldn’t have done this without you. BIOLOGY/CHEMISTRY - KATIE ... Katie, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have been incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed every single lesson with you. Preparing for my Biology IB exams with you has been wonderful and thank you for your kind, caring manner and dedication in every lesson – the notes, the powerpoint presentations, our discussions, your encouragement, sharing your love of your field … I cannot believe that at the end of the IB I am now wishing that I had studied Biology HL, something unimaginable just a couple of months ago. Thank you Katie so very much, you have been amazing!! PHYSICS - ANITHA ... I have absolutely loved my tutoring sessions with Anitha. Anitha has worked with me over a number of months to cover content and to prepare for the November 2020 IB exams. Anitha has provided invaluable support and has been an incredible resource to me at a time when my schooling has been interrupted by COVID. Anitha has helped, supported and guided me in the most professional and caring manner going above and beyond to ensure that I am ready for my exams tomorrow. Thank you so much Anitha for your wonderful support. ENGLISH - AMY ... Amy has been an absolute lifesaver and I will be forever thankful that you answered my request for tutoring during these COVID times. Thank YOU!! With English as my second language, Amy was exceptional to talk to, dedicated to her craft and I highly valued her direction and critique in helping me prepare for my English IB exams.”
