About A+ Tutors

What is A+ Tutors all about?

A+ Tutors' mission is to help students and tutors find each other. For most people, finding a tutor is a daunting task. Many people have no experience of where to look or what to look for. This website aims to rectify that and provide a little bit of additional information along the way.

Who are we?

A+ Tutors first hit the net in January 2000 and was created by Kelly McLellan - a long time science tutor. The website started as a free supplement to the advertising of private tutors based in the UK. Since then it has grown organically with over 350 tutors currently advertising on the site. Unfortunately, due to increased cost of maintenance, tutors are now charged a very small fee for advertising here. In fact the website is not run for profit.

Why use us?

Simple! We're cheap! The website is free to access and all information is provided up front. The only cost is to tutors who advertise here. Rates are currently £20 for a year (that's less than 40p per week).

Agencies & Advertising
Tutoring agencies take about £5 an hour from a tutor. In return they advertise and refer students. For the student they offer the illusion of vetted tutors but truly offer no guarantees and no real support. Private tutoring, with no middleman, is best for all concerned. Because the relationship is simpler it is easier for students and private tutors to ensure that they are suited to each other. Unfortunately advertising in newspapers can be too expensive for an independent tutor - making it difficult to find private tutors. A tutor's main stay is word of mouth, but this is impossible to rely upon because many students prefer not to tell anyone that they are seeing a tutor. The other main problem encountered by tutors is that students frequently only become interested in finding a tutor in January after unsuccessful exams - and then finish with the tutor in May or June. This means that tutors have very little time and resources to invest in finding vital students.

The Perfect Solution?
To meet the requirements of both student and tutor a solution is needed which provides easily accessible long-term advertising for all. The Internet is a perfect medium for this and comes at a reasonable price. One of the best things about the Internet is that it is a valuable meeting place for people with similar interests. This means that a website for students and tutors can be more than just an advertising feature - it can be a valuable resource of information.

A+ Tutors!
This is a website with ALL these goals in mind. A place for tutors to advertise, a place for students to easily find a suitable tutor, and a place for both groups to find useful information - helping everyone to become more successful.

Not For Profit

A+ Tutors is not run for profit. What does this mean? It means that every penny earned by the website is put back into the website and the webmaster works for free.

Where does the money go?
Advertising - e.g. Google Adwords
Website Hosting
Software & Hardware
Internet Connections
Site Development (payment of external contractors - because I can't do it all myself)

Not-For-Profit For Ever?
Hopefully not!
I'm not worried if I never see any money from the site. It is a good hobby which keeps my computer running! However, I do hope that - some day - the website will be self-sufficient and pay for my time as well. When that happens this Not-For-Profit notice will be gone for good!
