MyTutor Tutor Awards 2023

Put on your finest ‘fit and grab some fizz, it’s time for the 2023 Tutor Awards. 

Anyone who’s had a MyTutor lesson (or peered over the shoulder of someone who’s having one) knows that it’s about much more than just improving grades

You’re mentors. Confidence builders. You inspire a love of your subject. 

To celebrate this, and give a tiny glimpse of the MyTutor magic that goes on every day, we asked parents to nominate a tutor that’s inspired their teen

And the results are in 🥁

It’s clear that MyTutor tutors are the best in the business. We had plenty of nominations from proud parents, raving about the way you, our tutors, have gone above and beyond, lesson after lesson. 

Picking the winners was tough, but we’re pleased to announce…

Our 9 runners up (and why parents loved them) 🎊

Sam

💯 Sam T., who tutors Maths

“The tutor we picked (after the interview) was excellent: Knowledgeable (beyond regular expectations), personable (he genuinely cared), flexible (offered advice whenever requested), and ultimately achieved the desired goal (from predicted B to a very strong A). I recommend the service, and especially Sam” – Spencer C 

Faatimah

👨‍👩‍👦 Faatimah J., who tutors Sociology

“Faatimah J has great teaching skills and the knowledge she passed on to my daughter has helped a lot. I really appreciate all the help and support she has given towards my daughter. Faatimah J is the best. I rate her 10 out of 10.” – Saleha B 

Ava

👑 Ava H., who tutors History

“We had Ava as a tutor for our son after horrific mock grades. Yesterday we celebrated a BBB result and entry to his 1st choice University. Thank you Ava xxx” – Jayne D 

Jasmin

🧬 Jasmin H., who tutors Biology 

We have worked with Jasmin for 2 or 3 years now. She supported my daughter through GCSE and now A levels. Nothing is too much trouble for her and her caring nature shines through in her teaching.” – Jenny W 

Hope

🧠 Hope S., who tutors Psychology

“We had Hope as a tutor for our son’s A Levels. She was able to explain structure and content in a way that made sense to a teenager!!! Thank you Hope” – Jayne D 

Georgie

🤯 Georgie M., who tutors Psychology 

“My daughter has worked with Georgie this year, and finds her lessons very beneficial. She takes time to tailor the lesson for my daughter’s learning. She deserves an award for being such an excellent teacher” – Jenny W

Hasna

🔬 Hasna B., who tutors Biology

“Hasna was absolutely brilliant with my daughter. She was really clear and made the learning enjoyable. My daughter found having tuition really helped to supplement the course at her college.” – Nicola A 

Eleanor

🧪 Eleanore S., who tutors Biology

“Eleanor was an amazing tutor for our son Mack. He was very worried about his Biology A Level, she was patient and understanding and he says she explained things in a clearer way than any teacher ever has. She taught him the skills he needed to pass the exam and get the Uni place he wanted.” – Simone J 

Cerys

💰 Cerys H., who tutors Economics 

“Cerys is a brilliant teacher. She was very patient, focused and she knows how to pass on her knowledge whilst engaging her students. She was also very accommodating with last minute changes and definitely helped my son achieve the grade he needed in Economics for university.” – Lucy E 

Pretty impressive stuff. Congratulations to you all!

And the winners are 🏆… 

Now to announce our three winners. These tutors earned heart felt nominations from parents, and wowed us with their commitment and character. Let’s hear it for…

📚 Bethan H., who tutors Media

Bethan

Her nominator said:

I can hand on heart say that without Bethan from My Tutor, my son would not have gotten into his first choice Uni today. We felt that he wasn’t getting the right support from his College as he didn’t know how to attack exams. He’s been a GCSE covid year so had sat major exams in his room and they weren’t addressing this. Bethan not only improved his Media mock from a D to a B, but with her exam guidance improved his Business Studies from an E to a B and Psychology from an F to a D. THANK YOU Bethan!” – Nina B

🚓 George K., who tutors Law

George

His nominator said:

“My son was really struggling with Law A-level at school, so we decided to get him a tutor through MyTutor. Our first port of call was a 15 min free session. George made an impression on my son straight away. He was enthusiastic, spent ages with him (beyond session time) and made everything suddenly clear. 

George initially told my son to find another tutor as he had done a different exam board but my son could see there was something special about him and so we asked (begged!) him to give it a go. Immediately George did all his research so he was familiar with the exam board.

He made presentations individually designed for my son to give him before tutor sessions (in fact his pre and post lesson work was astonishing – he worked so hard). As a result my previously disengaged son started to enjoy the subject again, finally understanding things.

Before exams, George K worked extra sessions with my son, staying up late with him and being available through message afterwards to ensure no question went unanswered. As a result my son went up a whole grade thanks to George K., and is now going to his first choice university. A truly remarkable tutor who really went above and beyond.” – Gemma M 

✍️ And Maria P., who tutors English Literature

Her nominator said: 

“At the start of A Levels my daughter was predicted a C for English Lit. She is dyslexic and was lacking in confidence after Covid. I found Maria P on MyTutor and she was exactly what my daughter needed! 

She planned meticulously, marked work, gave moral support and provided such a high level of very tailored intervention that my daughter blossomed. Results are not everything but today my daughter received an A* in English Lit – huge thanks to Maria for unlocking her potential!” – Bethan G

Congratulations!

I’m sure you’ll join us in a round of applause for our Tutor Award winners 2023, who each received a bundle of goodies. Very well deserved. 

We’d also like to say a huge thank you to you, and every other tutor who inspired, motivated, mentored and encouraged their students this year. 

It’s fair to say you’re all awesome.

If you think you’ve got what it takes to unlock a student’s potential, join us again this year for more tutoring fun, or apply to become a tutor today.
