Tutor House
tutorhouse.co.uk
London online tutoring marketplace spanning 160+ subjects where tutors set their own rates.
Tutor House is an online tutoring marketplace founded in 2012 in London. It connects students with one-to-one tutors across more than 160 subjects, primarily online, and is widely used for GCSE, A-Level and iGCSE preparation. The business has changed ownership twice, acquired by Dubai-based oktopi in 2022 and by Jordan-based Alefredo EdTech in 2026.
Tutors create profiles and set their own hourly rates. Tutor House offers a tutor-matching service that filters by subject, level and preferences, a free 30-minute trial lesson, and a 100% money-back guarantee. Beyond academic tuition it covers SEN support, Common Entrance, UCAS and university interview advice, and revision courses.
Private lessons typically range from about £20 to £90 per hour depending on the tutor and level, with discounted packages available after the trial. At the time of the 2022 acquisition the platform reported around 20,000 tutors. It suits UK students wanting a broad subject range and a matching service before committing.
