Why private tutors struggle to fill their schedule
You're an excellent tutor, but you're stuck competing on price in marketplaces and relying on referrals. There's a better way.
Trapped in marketplaces
Platforms like Superprof, Tutorful, and MyTutor take a commission on every lesson. You're competing with hundreds of other tutors on price, not quality.
Invisible on Google
When a parent searches "GCSE maths tutor Birmingham" or "private tutor near me", you don't appear. The marketplaces dominate those results — unless you have your own SEO strategy.
Feast-or-famine cycle
September and January are busy, but the rest of the year is unpredictable. Without a consistent online presence, enquiries dry up between peak seasons.
No online credibility
Parents want to see qualifications, reviews, and a professional presence before trusting someone with their child's education. A marketplace profile isn't enough.
