Frist tutors from a tutor's point of view
As a tutor on Frist tutors, they are great. they charge and introductory fee to clients (i.e. the people wanting tuition), but none for tutors. They don't take a cut from lesson costs, which is very rare. My experience with the platform has been very positive over the last few years.
Mathematics Tutor at First Tutors , no worry for exams!
Thanks to First Tutor, I was introduced to a student studying MATHS A level , willing to improve her Mathematics skills , knowledge , and understanding. It was a privilege , and a pleasure for me to provide answers to the various Pure Mathematics A level exercises/questions.
Through First Tutors website , I was able to communicate with the girl's mother confirming the session , Mathematics topics requested for each individual sessions for several months.
The student made good progress , and is capable of good performance.

Best tutoring website I've used
Best tutoring website I've used. Easy to set up account and very fair prices for the finders fee. Ability for tutors to set prices gradually at both the subject and qualification level is very useful.

First Tutors is an excellent platform
First Tutors is an excellent platform, for connecting students and tutors together. Their prices are really good, with a one-off fee being so much better than ongoing fees which other platforms use. I highly recommend First Tutors for parents looking for tutors for their children.

As a tutor I like FT, they aren't greedy like some sites
As a tutor, over 3/4 of my students come through FirstTutors. I'm pleased about that because (unlike other sites) they charge a very reasonable one-off flat fee (roughly the same as a single lesson) rather than a percentage of every lesson.
I would be happy if ALL my students come through them.
Thank you FirstTutors

A parent's perspective
I write as a parent - I have found 2 tutors for my children in different subjects and both are excellent. The process as a parent is really easy and the support from FirstTutors was very good - they got back to my query in literally minutes. I like how many tutors there are to choose from and how many reviews are available. I think because of the pricing structure, the hourly rates tutors charge seem very reasonable too.

Strong platform for tutors
Top notch service from my (tutor's) perspective.
A good traffic of incoming students and the cost of acquisition for the student is also relatively low, so it is easy to onboard them as a tutor.
Support and guidance for tutors is plentiful and easy to access, with good guidance.
