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.
