Our mission

MyTutor is on a mission to offer life changing tuition to all.

Getting a tutor was once just for the few. A good tutor was hard to find, and out of the budget for most. We thought this needed to change.

We’re building a future where access to high quality learning is stress-free for those who can afford it, and funded directly through schools for those who can't. Online tuition, delivering high quality learning in a safe, convenient, and affordable way.

You could say all this makes us a ‘tech’ company. And we are very proud of the tech that means we can match hundreds of thousands of students and parents with the perfect tutor for them out of the thousands on our platform. But at heart, we’re really more of a people company. We match people with other people who can help them.

Our tutors

Our handpicked tutors have the subject expertise to explain tricky concepts. But the biggest thing MyTutor tutors have is the relationship and rapport they build with students. All our tutors are current or recent undergraduates at British universities, and come from all walks of life. So they don’t just know pythagorean triangles; they know the exams they’ll come up in. And perhaps most importantly, they know how it feels to take them. They’re more than tutors; they’re mentors.

Our culture

What’s it like to work here? Well, people are at the heart of everything we do. There are so many different career paths at MyTutor, from Software Engineer to Customer Operations. From Marketing to the Data team. But we don’t just get our heads down and do our own jobs. We all go out of our way to support each other, and solve problems together. Expectations around high performance are clear and we help each other to do our best work. We don’t think a great company culture is just free yoga sessions and summer socials (although we do that stuff too). We think it’s about creating a supportive environment where everyone can perform at their best, and be their authentic self, every day. Whoever you are.

Be an energy giver

By bringing enthusiasm, and a ‘can do’ mindset to our work and helping others, we energise and inspire others: both the team we're working with and our customers, partners and external collaborators.

Act like an owner

There’s plenty to do in a growing company. We value people who can take initiative and drive projects through to completion.

Understand the why

Use an understanding of why to influence priorities. Saying no or asking why can be as important as saying yes. It can help you work out how what you're doing fits into the company goals, and why it benefits the end customer

Be candid

Diverse perspectives leads to better decisions. We share thoughts openly and honestly and are prepared to challenge constructively to

Be proactive

Seek out opportunities to help others, grow your knowledge and skills and anticipate future challenges, changes and needs to grow as the business does. The environment is fast changing quickly so make sure you proactively prepare to up-skill yourself, change ways of working and adapt to succeed

MyTutor’s 2023 Gender Pay Gap Report

Our median gender pay gap is -0.8% and our mean gender pay gap is 3.7%.

This year's report offers a snapshot of the gender pay gap at MyTutor, taken on 5th April 2023. At that time, we had 284 people employed by MyTutor and 12,257 tutors working on our platform

Our report:

N.B. We welcome people of all gender identities and expressions at MyTutor. HMRC specifies that this analysis should only include men and women, so for this report we’ve followed HMRC guidelines and the data here only reflects those who identify as a man or woman.

Understanding the figures
Looking at the wider picture, the ONS reported a 2023 gender pay gap of 7.7% across full-time employees (ONS, 2023), and Women in Tech’s 2023 report indicates an average of 16% in tech. (WomeninTech, 2023). While we and the wider sector are moving in the right direction, we know there’s more work to do to close the gap.

Our action plan
‍MyTutor’s mission is to make life-changing learning accessible for all. We know that creating an equitable and inclusive workplace for our team will support us in this mission.

We made progress in 2022:

‍Leadership: We improved the representation of women in leadership roles
Inclusive policies: We widened our policies & benefits to better support flexible working, including enhancing birth and non-birth parental leave, introducing flexible hours & working requests, and promoting our workplace nursery benefit
Hiring: We brought in specialist support to review our hiring processes, set up internal networks to support women and underrepresented communities, and built on our progression frameworks and mentoring schemes across the business

We’ll continue to drive initiatives putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of what we do, and improve gender representation in 2023:

Hiring: Continue to embed inclusive practice at all stages of the recruitment process as well as investing in early talent for roles where there is a significant underrepresentation of women and other underrepresented groups, like Engineering.
Progression: Continue developing progression frameworks & pathways for rising talent, and driving mentoring across the business to give all employees equal opportunity to develop in their role
Data: Continue to improve our understanding of MyTutor’s people & their needs through analysing engagement & leavers’ insights, improving our data capture on diversity & ethnicity at MyTutor, and use these insights to inform decisions on pay and progression at MyTutor.

Meet the teams

Product Engineering

Our amazing tutors are what makes MyTutor the best, but none of it would work without a top class platform behind them. Our tech squads work tirelessly to design, build and maintain our online lesson space, website, tutor matching technology, and everything that connects it all together.

Data

With over five thousand tutors and a quarter of a million parents on our database at any one time, there is a lot of data to be analysed if we want to make sure we're offering the best service possible. Whether helping our product team optimise web journeys, supporting operations to find efficiencies, or helping marketing understand how campaigns have performed, every week is different.

Operations and Sales

We host tens of thousands of lessons a month, and that kind of operation needs a lot of support to make it all work! That's where our operations and sales team come in, helping parents, schools, tutors, and of course the students themselves at every stage of the journey, from first learning if we're right for them, to making sure everything runs smoothly post-booking.

Marketing

The average person sees over 5,000 marketing messages a day. So we'd better make sure ours are memorable! Our marketing team combines brand strategists, content writers, social media experts, search engine gurus, and many more besides. So whatever your specialism, there may be a role for you.

People and Finance

This team is the glue that holds everything together. It's the People team setting out our employee wellbeing approach, our IT consultants keeping our tech honed and up to date, or our finance team making sure our tutor payments run smoothly. And much more besides. This is the team that allows everyone else to thrive.
