"Oliver made excellent progress on algebraic fractions today. He tackled several AQA past-paper questions independently and showed real confidence with the method. For this week I'd suggest 15 minutes on surds to prepare for next session..."

"We worked through organic mechanisms today. Amara is strong on substitution but benefited from extra practice on elimination reactions. Her grasp of the curly-arrow mechanism is now solid..."

"Great session on verbal reasoning today. Isabella is picking up the patterns quickly. I'd recommend 10 minutes of practice questions each evening this week ahead of the assessment..."
What tutors say

Real tutors. Real results.

TutorLab saves me around 3 hours a week on lesson planning alone. I genuinely can't believe I used to do all of this by hand.

Tax time used to take a whole weekend. I downloaded the HMRC summary and sent it to my accountant in five minutes.

I teach 14 students a week. Having every note, session and invoice in one place has completely changed how I run things.

The AI lesson plans are scarily good. I tweak them a little but they nail the exam-board style every single time.

For tutors

Your rates. Your clients. No fees on families we introduce.

No TutorLab fee on families we introduce

When a parent finds you through TutorLab, every lesson payment is yours.

Unlimited introductions on every paid plan

No caps, no lead fees, on any plan.

0% commission on your own students

Card payments carry a card fee from 3.4%; bank-transfer invoicing is free.

Plus the whole toolkit: invoicing, HMRC-ready records, AI lesson plans and parent reports, all in one place.

TutorLab Term Plans

Paid up to 102% of your rate on Pro Max. You always keep the client.

No other UK tutoring platform pays tutors more than their rate. Parents pay your price on a rolling plan and you are never chased for an invoice. Core and Pro settle 100%; Pro Max and Agency add TutorLab's own 2% on top, funded by a parent-only fee that falls the longer a family stays, from around 8% to around 5%.

Before you decide

Questions answered.

Is TutorLab free for parents?+
Yes. Searching, browsing and messaging tutors costs you nothing, and you do not need an account to enquire. You pay your tutor's own hourly rate for lessons, with no agency fee added on top.
Does TutorLab take commission on my lessons?+
No. Never. You set your rate and keep all of it. TutorLab is a flat subscription, plus a flat card fee from 3.4% only when a parent pays you by card. A card fee, not a commission. We make money when your business runs, not by taking a slice of your teaching.
Does TutorLab hold my money?+
No. Payments go straight into your own bank account. TutorLab never holds or freezes your earnings.
Is my data safe?+
Yes. Your students' details and lesson notes stay private to your account and are never sold or shared. You can ask us to export or delete your data at any time.
How much does TutorLab cost?+
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no card to start. Core is £9/month (unlimited students and AI). Pro is £19/month (everything in Core plus the analytics dashboard, HMRC tax export and a Pro badge). Pro Max is £39/month (everything in Pro plus AI Profile Analyser and a clearly labelled Featured Spotlight). Organic directory results rank for parent fit and response readiness. Annual plans are 2 months free across all tiers.
Which exam boards does TutorLab support?+
UK: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas, CCEA, SQA. International: IB, Cambridge International, College Board (AP/SAT), CBSE, ICSE, NCEA, HSC, VCE, HKDSE, Leaving Certificate, and more. Every AI tool generates output grounded in the specific board's specification and command words.
Is the public profile page really free?+
Yes. Your profile page and parent inquiry form cost nothing to set up, and the 14-day trial needs no card to start. Tutors can talk with parents in-platform before committing. A current plan and Payments setup are required when a TutorLab-sourced parent is accepted or imported as a student. Pro adds analytics; Pro Max adds a clearly labelled Featured Spotlight.
How does the parent report actually work?+
After a session, log it in TutorLab: what you covered, any notes. Then click 'Generate report'. The AI reads your notes and writes a warm, professional parent update in British English: what was covered, how the student did, what to work on next. It takes 30 seconds. You can edit it before sending.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Cancel from the billing portal whenever you want. No contracts, no cancellation fees. You keep access until the end of the billing period.
How is TutorLab different from tutoring software like TutorCruncher or TutorBird?+
Tools like TutorCruncher and TutorBird are back-office software: they help you run students you already have, but bring you no new ones. Marketplaces and agencies bring students but take a commission on every lesson and keep the client. TutorLab does both: a Google-indexed profile that brings parents to you, plus scheduling, AI lesson notes, parent reports and invoicing, with no commission on your own students, just an optional card fee from 3.4% if you take card payments.
Do I have to spend hours entering data before I see any value?+
No. The first thing you do after signing up is watch AI write a full parent report in seconds, from a demo student, before you set anything up. Bringing in your own students is the next step: upload a CSV or paste your list (TutorBird, Teachworks, TutorCruncher and spreadsheet exports are all pre-mapped), and most tutors are done in under 5 minutes.
Is 14 days long enough to try TutorLab?+
For most tutors, yes: you see value in your first session, not after two weeks of setup. Log one session and a parent report drafts itself in 30 seconds. No card is needed to start, nothing is charged during the trial, and you can cancel anytime before day 14 and pay nothing.

A real person runs this
Harry Wright, founder of TutorLab

Hi, I'm Harry.

I'm 19, on a gap year, and I built TutorLab. My parents run a small business so I grew up watching how much time admin steals from the work that actually matters.

It's a one-person operation and I reply to every email, usually the same day: harry@trytutorlab.uk
