We’re more than just tutors.
We’re a comprehensive educational charity powered by students, enhanced by technology, and embedded in communities to close the education gap.
Student-Led
We started as two students with a YouTube channel, and we’ve never forgotten what it’s like to struggle with the academic pressures of school exams and UCAS applications.
- University student tutors: So they can relate to exam prep (and stress)
- Fair wages: We fairly pay our student tutors for their time and expertise
- Non-profit: Our trustees and volunteers give their time to help our goals
Community-First
Instead of competing, we work with what’s already there by strengthening libraries schools, and community centres that families already trust.
- Home advantage: Sessions online in places students already feel comfortable
- Smart partnerships: We make existing services better, instead of competing
- Local roots: Every area is different, so we adapt to what each community needs
Future-Ready
We actively research technological advancements in education (instead of just using it) working out how AI can help education without losing the human touch.
- Science-driven research: Examining how tech is underutilised in parts of education
- Built from scratch: Our platforms are bespoke to work seamlessly
- Future-ready: Widening access without cutting corners or weakening standards
Beyond Tutoring
From creative projects to digital support for other charities, we’re building a network that supports young people from primary school through university and beyond.
- We do a lot: Tutoring, uni application help, careers advice and more.
- Helping others: Helping other education orgs with websites and know-how.
- Looking ahead: Scaling what works to reach more young people nationwide
Transparent, Sustainable Education
Our flexible-contribution model, backed by the Community Education Fund, creates a transparent system that supports both learners and educators.
How it works: Families pay a flexible contribution from £10 a session for our online lessons — reduced to £5 or free for families who qualify through our Community Education Fund — while our Community Education Network sessions in libraries are always entirely free.

Why we pay our tutors
We pay our tutors £13.45 per hour – the Real Living Wage for outside London, independently calculated to reflect the real cost of living. This fair rate attracts dedicated student tutors, recognises their essential labour, and ensures consistent, high-quality support for learners.
Every contribution supports free sessions for those who cannot pay, tutor wages, and new educational resources. It’s education funding that works for everyone.
