Spires Online Tutors - Your Time. Your Future. Make it Count.

Spires is a premier online tutoring marketplace connecting students and expert tutors worldwide. We support 400+ subjects at every level — Key Stage 3, GCSE/IGCSE, A level/IB, university admissions, undergraduate/Master’s/PhD, and a wide range of postgraduate and professional qualifications (e.g., CFA, accountancy, law, STEM, and specialist entrance tests).

Using machine learning, Spires surfaces the best-fit tutors for each brief — balancing subject expertise, academic level, availability, and budget. Classes are one-to-one, fully online, interactive (BitPaper whiteboard, screen share, resources), and automatically recorded so learners can replay sessions anytime.

Our impact at scale is clear. In 2024, Spires enabled 100,000+ classes delivered by 1,000 vetted tutors to 9,000 students across 120 countries. 81% of students reported a grade uplift, and lesson feedback averaged 4.97/5. In our 2025 client survey, students also reported strong outcomes across GCSE, A-level and undergraduate study — reflecting the platform’s emphasis on targeted, high-quality instruction.

Quality is non-negotiable. Only about 7% of tutor applicants are accepted, following interviews, enhanced background checks, and teaching simulations. Many tutors hold postgraduate qualifications (including PhDs) and university-level teaching experience; others bring chartered or professionally accredited expertise. Beyond credentials, we prioritise educators who personalise strategy, build confidence, and raise performance from the first lesson.

Spires also keeps costs transparent and competitive. Tutors set their own rates via an auction-style system, so families can choose the right balance of price, experience, and availability. The platform handles matching, scheduling, messaging, payments (Stripe) and recordings, so students can focus on learning.

Our approach has been widely recognised: National Tutoring Awards — ‘Technology Tools for Tuition’ (2024 & 2025) and ‘Tuition Partner of the Year’ (2024). With 1,000+ verified reviews and a consistently high satisfaction score, Spires is trusted by learners preparing for GCSEs, A levels, IB, admissions, dissertations, and professional exams worldwide.

Whether you need GCSE Maths support, Oxbridge admissions guidance, or postgraduate supervision, Spires delivers reliable, expert tutoring — matched to your goals, schedule, and budget.

Testimonials

Prep for HAT and Oxford interviews

Ellie helped my daughter prepare for her HAT and interviews for Oxford University. We are in NZ, and Ellie was super helpful at fitting in around the time difference, and always prompt to respond to messages. My daughter benefited hugely from her coaching and guidance, and really enjoyed the sessions too. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ellie to support an applicant through the sometimes bewildering application stages. Thanks Ellie!

MBA Tutoring Review

I am new to spire. I am studying an mba online. I was struggling as I hadn’t studied intensely in years and I was missing interaction and human discussion of the course.
Dr Megha has been great, helping me through the material, she is very patient and teaching me areas I hadn’t picked up well from learning on my own.
I like the spire platform, it’s interactive and similar to zoom with screen share which comes in useful.
All round good experience so far.
The tutoring with Dr Megha has made me feel comfortable with continuing my studies when I was considering dropping out.

A-level - Excellent Tutor!

I am immensely grateful to have been tutored by Karen throughout my time doing AQA Alevel philosophy. Karen is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She explained things very clearly, helped me to improve my knowledge and exam technique. Karen has experience with dyslexic students, as someone with severe dyslexia, I felt she truly went above and beyond to help me achieve my grade A. This would not have been possible without Karens help.

Undergrad - Highest Quality Tutors / Excellent Service

I contacted The Profs on behalf of my son who is in his first year university studying history. He needed some intensive assistance studying and organizing his thoughts for his next exam. The twist is he is studying in Sweden, and speaks both English and Swedish. The Profs were able to locate on very short notice a scholar who graduated Cambridge history with a first, is a seasoned tutor with excellent teaching skills, and is bilingual English and Swedish. The lessons have been thorough and my son has a much deeper understanding of what is required. We could not be happier with the service and the tutoring! Well done.

Masters - Post-grad Dissertation Support

I joined Spires because I wanted support for my postgraduate dissertation, which was 15,000 words of creating my own study, which felt very daunting! I had monthly sessions with Liam, where I could bounce ideas off him, create a survey, collect data, interpret the statistics, formulate a discussion, and finally produce the finished dissertation. He has been encouraging when things were tough, kept me on track, and helped keep my enthusiasm for my subject going over the months.

Through his tutoring, I have produced a far higher-quality dissertation than I feel I would have achieved on my own. His manner is relaxed, and he was always interested in exploring all dissertation sections. His experience and knowledge of the dissertation writing process through his own studies was invaluable, and I look forward to working with him again for my next project.
