1. How does your private tutoring service work?
Once you contacts us, we’ll ask you some questions and offer to meet you for a free assessment consultation. This enables our team of education experts to get an idea of your or your child’s exact needs, challenges and goals. Next, we recommend a bespoke programme/package and with your agreement and proceed with rigorous tutor matching within our team. Our tutors are highly qualified teachers/lecturers and have very high emotional intelligence, which is incredibly important for students’ success. They are all trained by our senior management with over 20 years of experience in best teaching and coaching techniques. Our team will match the tutor we know is best qualified and suitable to each student’s personality and achievement needs. We will then proceed to booking and payment of agreed package and programme. Lessons will be typically delivered on a regular agreed schedule in order to create routine, trust in the learning process, and progress. Our management team will follow your progress with our tutor on a regular basis through regular feedback reports.
2. Do you provide home or online tutoring and coaching?
Über Tutors is based in central London but our entire team provides their tutoring and coaching services either at your London home or online. Thereafter, we still do our very best to match you with a personal tutor, so do contact us even if you are based further out. Additionally, we offer all private tutoring services online in order to tutor UK-wide.
3. Are your private tutors DBS-checked?
All of our private tutors who teach students under the age of 18 undergo an enhanced DBS check. This helps employers like us make safer recruitment decisions and prevent unsuitable people from working with children. Additionally, we train all our tutors in safeguarding issues in order to ensure children’s safety.
4. How much are your tutoring or coaching fees?
Standard rates: Our hourly rates are hourly and vary according to your or your child’s subject, level, difficulty and location. It might also vary with the matched tutors’. Please see Our Rates page for more information and details.
Subsidised rates: At Uber Tutors, we’re the ONLY private tuition and coaching service in London and the UK to create affordable access to students from lower income or financial struggle backgrounds. To make use of our discounted rates, we just need simple documentation proof of your financial status – we will then assess and provide a discount of up to 10-30% on our private tutoring programmes. Your documents will be handled confidentially of course. We provide the exact same quality private tutoring service and bespoke approach to all of our students because we know the huge impact great private tutoring and mentoring has on students and young people’s lives, careers and futures!
5. Does your private tutoring and coaching service cover all subjects in the UK and internationally?
Yes, we definitely try to accommodate all subjects from primary school to GCSE/Alevels, and even most university degrees in the UK, as long as our tutors are available. We also provide students and clients with early career coaching skills or consult with parents in the UK education system. We’ve always tutored international students from China, Dubai, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, and Canada and US, long before the days of Zoom and the Covid era. We prepare international students for UK school entry exams or in UK curriculum from primary school to GCSE/Alevels and university courses.
6. What does ‘über’ mean in your name?
As you may well know, the word ‘über’ is of German origin and it technically means ‘ultra’ but amongst young people it refers to ‘super’, ‘amazing’, ‘top’. So simply put, Uber Tutors means super tutors and we definitely live up to that reputation since our founding years in 2012! We’ve innovated the tutoring industry in the UK by being the first company to introduce official university level private tuition (seeing the big need), with now several tutoring agencies following in our lead, and we’re still uniquely the only tutoring service to offer accessible and subsidised rates with our financially ethical business model.
