MyTutor operates an online tutoring platform that connects carefully vetted subject experts from the UK’s top universities with students for one-to-one and group tuition. It has a base of 20,000 tutors, has supported over 1,000 secondary schools, hundreds of thousands of parents, and delivered over 2 million lessons. The company supported 30,000 students through the National Tuition Programme in the last academic year and was named a provider for the programme for a second year. Parent and school feedback is strong: 96% of parents and 85% of school leaders reported improved grades and greater confidence among students. MyTutor’s mission is to provide life-changing tuition for all, supporting disadvantaged students via its schools programme while also offering private tuition to parents. The recently announced funding will be used to build out the platform, improve lesson engagement, further develop group tuition, and expand internationally. MyTutor is a UK-based edtech company that provides online interactive one-to-one tuition for secondary school-aged pupils.

MyTutor raised around €4.4 million in the reported round, bringing total funding to about €15.6 million.
