No Student Uptake, No Response to Questions

Sign up was easy and quick but otherwise I haven't had may positives with this site.

I got invited via LinkedIn to make a profile on this website and have to say I'm not too impressed. It asks right off the bat whether you want to pay to boost your rankings. My initial response to this was sceptisim because for me this was an unprooven platform and I had no guarantee or evidence that paying would actually increase the amount of students I got. I emailed the company no less than four times asking if they had any statistics on what sort of increase in student numbers I could expect paying for this boosted service, plus whether this was a one off payment or an ongoing payment as it wasn't clear on the website. Complete radio silence. This was back in the beginning of August.

Three months later I haven't had a single student enquiry. Coupled with ignoring my emails (but chasing me up during the application phase) I'm suspecting that their business model may be based on attracting as many tutors to the platform as possible and getting them to pay for boosted views rather than attract potential clients to the website. When I was first invited to the website it seemed more under the guise that they would be hiring me for regular work, rather than a standard do it yourself tutoring platform, so I found the recruitment quite disingenuous. All in all, not too impressed.

Hi Rin, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.

Firstly, we are sorry that your experience with us has not been positive. Looking in our emails, we do not see any communication from you - perhaps you were caught in our spam filter?

We do not release the information about how boosting your profile affects student engagement, since the decision to contact tutors is student-led we cannot gaurantee you work. Boosting your profile is advertising your profile and increasing visibility in student search results, similar to how Google ads do not gaurantee paying customers for advertisers.

If you did not boost your profile, you likely have not received much student engagement because your profile is new, or there is something dissuading about your profile to our students.

Our job advert was clear that this was not full time gauranteed employment, but we will endeavour to improve this. We also state this during sign up, for example you set your own rate, and it is outlined in details our Tutor Welcome Guide which you recieved in your invitation to join email.

Please let us know if you have any further feedback.

Thank you and best wishes,
TutorSpark team

Don't get many students

You won't get regular students maybe one in a year/couple of months. Although you get paid easily and commission is 3%. You set your own rate. They don't have there own platform you can arrange lessons on zoom, MS depending on what you have for personal use. You can plan and arrange independently

Review

Sign up is quick and easy compared to similar services. Student take-up is slower than expected. Only 1 x student after a few months; that's with a ranking of 23 in one category. That being said, the freedom to teach your own way is great and payment has been received.

Updated Review

Sign up was easy. I initially signed up and paid the fee to be an ambassador. It was neither clear or apparent that this was a recurring payment.

I was concerned as to whether this was legitimate. Andrew from Tutor Spark contacted me to assure me it was legitimate but agreed that the fee aspected needed to be clearer on the website.

I’ve unfortunately had zero students during my month. Andrew stated that they have 45,000 unique searches by students per month. Because I was unhappy he refunded two months fees, which is fair enough.

I give three stars here primarily because he reached out to me and gave me a refund.

It didn’t work out for me but perhaps with more time it may have done so. Your mileage may vary depending on what you teach. I’d be interested to see more reviews here over time and not just within the same date period.

Hi Jamie,

Thank you for raising your concern. We have refunded your Ambassador fee and confirm that your account/subscription has been cancelled.

The decision to contact tutors is student-led, so we cannot gaurantee that students will reach out to you.

We hope that your refund gives goes some way to increasing your trust in us.

We would love to arrange a short phone call to receive your feedback in a more personal way. Please let us know if this is something you are open to?

Warm wishes,
TutorSpark team
