We’re more than just tutors.
We are a charity started by students. We run online one-to-one tutoring and mentoring, workshops for schools, and free learning resources.
Student-Led
We started as two students with a YouTube channel, making revision videos for our own exams.
- University student tutors: So they can relate to exam prep (and stress)
- Fair pay: Paid tutors earn £13.45 an hour, the Real Living Wage, plus holiday pay
- Non-profit: Our trustees and volunteers give their time to help our goals
Community
We worked with Nottingham libraries and the city council to run free sessions. That programme is paused while we look for funding and volunteers.
- Online lessons: Students join from home, in our lesson room
- Smart partnerships: We make existing services better, instead of competing
- Local roots: Every area is different, so we adapt to what each community needs
Technology
We build our own systems for lessons, payments and safeguarding, so we can keep them safe and simple for families.
- Science-driven research: Examining how tech is underutilised in parts of education
- Built in-house: NSEMM Learn, NSEMM Protect and our application are our own
- Same standards: Every lesson is recorded and kept for 90 days for safety
Beyond Tutoring
We also run careers and skills workshops for schools.
- We do a lot: Tutoring, uni application help, careers advice and more.
- Helping others: Helping other education orgs with websites and know-how.
- Looking ahead: Scaling what works and reaching more young people across England and Wales
Transparent, Sustainable Education
Our prices are published, and so is the rule our Community Education Fund uses.
How it works: Our standard price is £25 an hour. If your child is in Year 7 or above, you can apply for help with the cost from our Community Education Fund. A published rule sets the price, from £5 to £25 an hour, based on what your household can afford after housing. We always ask for evidence. Families in serious difficulty can appeal. When our library sessions run, they are free to attend. They are paused while we look for funding.
