What TutorChase does

TutorChase is a privately-held online tutoring company headquartered in Oxford, United Kingdom, that delivers one-on-one tutoring and a self-service revision platform to students across 70+ countries. Its service offering covers GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level (CIE, Edexcel, AQA, OCR), International Baccalaureate (IBDP/MYP), Advanced Placement (AP), GMAT, and university admissions support for both Oxbridge and US Ivy League/top-tier institutions. The company's tutors are graduates of top universities including Oxbridge, Ivy League, MIT, and Stanford, and include qualified teachers and examiners sourced through a stated rigorous selection process; Oxbridge-specific tutors have direct experience with the admissions process as applicants and interviewers.

The company operates a proprietary online tutoring platform that enables real-time interactive lessons with features for drawing diagrams, solving equations, editing essays, and annotating work. This sits alongside a complementary Revision Platform providing practice questions, study notes, and past exam papers across multiple curricula, used by 100,000+ students globally. TutorChase maintains a partnership with Oxford University as a trusted tutoring partner and lists 500+ schools among its institutional relationships, including Eton College, Dr Challoner's Grammar School, St Olave's School, Wilson's School, King Edward High School, and Wimbledon High School GDST. The platform is delivered globally with no app presence; access is via web at tutorchase.com.

The business model is sales-led with hourly unit pricing: UK tutoring ranges £30-100/hour and US tutoring $62-118/hour, depending on subject, tutor qualifications, and geographic market. Customers (students or parents) submit tutoring requests through a website form, are matched with tutors by academic consultants, and pay per hour. The Revision Platform is bundled free with tutoring subscriptions or available standalone at £29/month. TutorChase is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no app listings; the company appears to operate as a founder-led, bootstrapped business, supported by content marketing, SEO, LinkedIn, and referral/word-of-mouth channels.
