Cheap and practical alternative to using a tutoring agency. I liked being able to browse the tutors' profiles online for myself and read reviews, rather than putting myself in the hands of an agency to find the right person on their books. We were able to exchange messages with our chosen tutor to check suitability and to arrange a meeting time - all before having to pay the one-off First Tutor fee to access the tutor's address and phone number. It has worked smoothly for us and we have had our first session and arranged a second one, so it looks as if we're up and running.
