The go-to-market is community-driven — a Facebook parent community, organic social on X, Instagram and LinkedIn, 5-star Google reviews and a WhatsApp live-chat widget — with registration handled through online forms on a WordPress website. The legal entity is North Finchley Tutors LTD, incorporated in the United Kingdom, with no parent company, no disclosed funding, and no external institutional investment.
