The Profs

The Profs is a premium, multi-award-winning private tutoring and admissions-consulting agency based in London, founded in 2016. It provides one-to-one tuition and university admissions support to students in the UK and worldwide, positioning itself at the high end of the market with highly credentialed tutors, and has been among the highest-rated tutoring firms on Trustpilot.

The Profs operates as a vetted agency rather than an open marketplace: it matches students to hand-selected tutors and provides ongoing client-success support. Its screening is highly selective — the company states only about 3% of applicants are accepted, with around 98% holding a master’s degree or higher and roughly 45% a doctorate. Tutoring covers GCSE and A-Level subjects, university and postgraduate modules, entrance exams (11 Plus, 13 Plus, ISEB), and admissions consulting, delivered online and in person.

Pricing reflects the premium positioning: general tuition starts around £60/hour, university tutoring from about £75/hour, and quantitative or ultra-selective specialisms up to roughly £90-£120/hour, plus a one-off placement fee. The company reports average improvements of about +1.4 grades. It suits families and adult learners who want top-tier, results-focused tutoring for high-stakes exams or admissions.
