Find yourtutor.
An online tutoring marketplace where students and parents browse vetted tutors by subject and level, see the price before they book, and take a free first lesson — one-to-one, in a group, or recorded to watch back.
A marketplace for tutors, lessons and the students who need them
Battersea House spans Primary, GCSE and A-Level across more than thirty subjects — in one-to-one tutorials, scheduled group lessons and recorded lessons to watch back. Every tutor is background-checked and interview-verified.
Search, don't ask around
Tutors are filtered by department, level and category, so a parent finds a subject specialist instead of relying on a recommendation.
Vetted, and transparent
Every tutor is background-checked and interview-verified, and hourly prices are shown before booking — no enquiry-and-quote dance.
Three ways to learn
One-to-one tutorials, group lessons and recorded lessons sit side by side, so a student picks the format that fits how they learn and when.
Why is finding a tutor still so hard?
Private tutoring runs on word of mouth and agencies, and that hides the two things a parent most wants to know: is this tutor any good, and what will it cost. A marketplace only works if it answers both before anyone commits.
Matching is guesswork. Without a searchable directory, finding a tutor for a specific subject and level means asking around and taking a stranger's word. Our answer: search by subject and level.
Price arrives late. Rates quoted only after an enquiry make it impossible to compare, so a parent commits before knowing what a term will cost. Our answer: hourly price before booking.
Scheduling is scattered. Sessions, series and payments spread across texts and email threads, so nobody has a single view of what is booked and paid. Our answer: one account for the mess.
things a parent has to know before booking a tutor — is this tutor any good, and what will it cost.
What Battersea House had to answer
A marketplace only works if it settles the two things a parent most wants to know — is this tutor any good, and what will it cost — before anyone commits.
Answer both, up front
- Make tutors searchable by subject and level, not by word of mouth.
- Show quality — background-checked, interview-verified — on the marketplace itself.
- Show the hourly price before booking, and offer a free first lesson.
- One account for sessions, series, credits and subscription.
Why it was hard
- Two-sided by nature — tutors and students need different portals and tools.
- Trust has to be visible on the platform, not merely claimed.
- Price and availability have to be accurate the moment a parent compares.
- Booking, series, credits, payments and subscriptions all interlock across three formats.
Who is Battersea House built for?
A two-sided marketplace with two portals — and the parent who books between them.
The parent
Browses vetted tutors by subject and level, sees the price up front, and books a free first lesson — no enquiry-and-quote dance.
The tutor
Runs a profile with subjects, availability and reviews, and manages the lessons and series they teach from their own portal.
The student
Joins one-to-one, group or recorded lessons, and manages credits and subscription from a single account.
A marketplace answers both questions first
What changes when quality is shown and price is up front, before anyone commits.

What does a student actually book in?
The screens a parent or student moves through, from browsing a subject specialist to booking a lesson and managing the credits behind it.
Browse vetted tutors
Parent · searchThe marketplace filters tutors by department, level and category, each card showing the subjects they teach and the languages they speak.
Read a tutor before you book
Parent · evidenceA tutor profile gathers the subjects they cover, their availability and their reviews, so a choice is made on evidence rather than a photo.
Book a series, not just a session
Student · termA lesson series bundles several lessons with a schedule, for a subject a student is working through over a term rather than a one-off.
A single tutorial, with its time and price
Student · bookA lesson detail page shows when a tutorial runs, how long it lasts and what it costs, ready to book without a back-and-forth.
Book and pay in a few steps
CheckoutCheckout takes a lesson or series from chosen to confirmed, with the price a student already saw carried straight through.
Credits and subscription in one place
AccountA student manages their credits and subscription from their account, so what has been bought and what remains is always clear.
One search, a private tutor or a group lesson
The same discovery serves two kinds of learner. Switch the marketplace between browsing private one-to-one tutors and joining scheduled group lessons — one search, one set of filters, one result count.
Sessions, series and credits, in one place.
What has been booked, what has been paid and what remains all live on one dashboard — so scheduling never scatters back into texts and email threads.
The scope, in one panel
Every number in this panel is delivered scope — what was designed, built and handed over on the education build for Battersea House. It leaves out traffic, conversion and revenue on purpose: those figures belong to the client, and we don’t publish numbers we cannot stand behind.

The look, and why
A scholarly, trustworthy system — a deep Battersea crimson carries the marketplace, a teal accent marks the language chips, and an editorial serif gives the reading real weight.
What does an online tutoring marketplace need?
Six things separate a tutoring marketplace a parent will trust from a directory they will bounce off. They hold for any marketplace that sells expert time.
Search that matches on the real criteria
Subject, level and category — not a keyword box — because a parent is looking for a specific fit, not a name.
Trust shown, not claimed
Background checks and verification have to be visible on the marketplace, or the vetting might as well not exist.
Price before commitment
An hourly rate shown up front is what lets a parent compare — and comparison is what a marketplace is for.
A no-risk first step
A free first lesson removes the fear of paying for a tutor who turns out to be wrong.
More than one format
One-to-one, group and recorded lessons serve different budgets and schedules from the same catalogue.
One account for the mess
Sessions, series, credits and subscription belong in one place, or scheduling scatters back into texts and email.
