The Profs is a multi award-winning online tutoring company (UK Edtech Provider of the year 2024) founded in 2014. We are on a mission to help students achieve life-changing success in education.
Our company
Founded by two brothers with a view to pairing tutors with technology to help students achieve their personal goals, we are headquartered in London and have grown to a 40-strong team split across sales, marketing, tech, and operations.
We work predominantly in a B2C capacity and connect students, typically 16-24 years old, and/or their parents with professional private tutors to help them get the results they need to progress in life. We also have a small number of B2B clients including the University of Cambridge, Oxford, and Imperial College London among others.
Last year we connected over 10,000 students with our 1,000 freelance tutors. They use our web-based platforms to have, administer, and pay for online classes, and we take a % fee. 90%+ of our survey respondents tell us they get their desired grades and into their preferred universities.
As such, we are the highest-rated tutoring company on Trustpilot and have won numerous awards. These include British Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Forbes 30 under 30, the UK’s top tutoring company, and best Edtech company.
The company’s growth to date has been built on the back of successful digital marketing efforts. Performance marketing is in our DNA, and we are fluent in the language of it. The Profs has built a name for itself within the tutoring industry as the gold standard in professional tutoring. Our goal in 2025 and beyond is to make the wider world aware of the life-changing results we achieve.
