About Us
Working towards making a high quality education available to all.
Sherpa is an online 1-1 tuition company striving to improve access to high quality teaching. Our hybrid team of teachers and technologists is helping us to provide higher quality tuition, for a lower price than our competitors. But how do we do it?
Tutors are at the centre of what we do.
We can build the school, but without the teachers it means nothing. Our tutor recruitment team focuses on on-boarding qualified UK teachers and building strong relationships. Our most recent survey shows that over 50% of our tutors have PGCEs.
We're obsessed with the product.
Iterate. Improve. Refine. We're constantly talking to our students and tutors to find out what they love about Sherpa and what they think could be improved. Our tech team are always looking for ways to improve the online lesson space to surpass face-to-face learning.
We like to keep it fair.
Traditional tuition agencies as well as existing platforms charge up to 50% platform fees on their tutors. Not only does this seem unfair, these charges end up being passed onto students. We're eliminating waste and offer the lowest platform fees in the industry for tutors - passing these savings onto students. This means you can get lessons from qualified teachers for a lower rate than you would be taught by a student elsewhere. It's a no-brainer!
