Customer service is terrible and don't respond to emails.

On my profile, a review was edited due to a typo. This was fixed but then for no reason the website downgraded the five star review to a 2 star review without the parent's consent. This is completely unfair and unexplained. Still waiting for the issue to be resolved after days.

Hi Myles,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and I'm really sorry for the frustration this may have caused.

I can see that the review on your profile has now been reverted back to 5 stars. It appears this was caused by a system error on our side. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We have since been in touch with you via email to confirm the fix.

Worst customer services

Worst customer services - Its been 2 weeks and I have sent multiple email to their customer service and have not had a single response - not even an automated one to acknowledge my email. The tutor has wrongly charged me for a lesson despite providing notice but the customer service hasnt even bothered reply to my emails and the chat function is a joke as nobody is ever online

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We sincerely apologise for the delay, we responded to your email after 7 days, which is longer than our usual timeframe due to an unusually high volume of queries. We're sorry for any inconvenience this caused.

Regarding the charge you mentioned, the cancellation was made within 24 hours of the scheduled start time, which falls outside of our cancellation policy. In these situations, the tutor is eligible to charge for the session and had informed you of this prior.

You can read more about our cancellation policy here: https://support.tutorful.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/213962405-For-Students-Parents-What-is-your-cancellation-policy

Found a great tutor

I took a punt on Tutorful without a personal recommendation and am so pleased I did! My daughter is struggling with GCSE maths and I have a great tutor at a really good price. The interface is super easy and I will definitely use again.

Hi Jess,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We're really sorry to hear about your experience. The price displayed on a tutors profile should remain consistent throughout, so we'd really like to investigate what's happened.

We also expect all tutors on our platform to communication professionally, so I'm sorry to hear this wasn't the case.

Please could you contact us at support@tutorful.co.uk so we can investigate this further?

The website/app is easy to use. There is plenty of information about the tutors to get a good idea which ones are likely to be suitable. Communicating with tutors is easy. My daughter particularly likes the ability to watch the lessons again.

Fantastic - highly recommend

My son’s dread of tutoring was transformed into excited anticipation after just one lesson with Elliot. He’s warm, engaging and made the process both fun and immersive. In my son’s own words - ‘he makes me actually want to learn’.
