About Us
Welcome to 1-2-1 Tutors,
a student-led tutoring agency

At 121 Tutors, we are dedicated to helping students excel in their academic journey through personalized one-on-one tutoring sessions. We recognize that no student is the same, and therefore our focus is on individualized attention and tailored learning plans. Our team of expert tutors are here to help you achieve your academic goals.
Our Story
At 121 Tutors, we are a team of passionate students who believe in the power of education. We started this student-run tutoring agency after witnessing firsthand the lack of educational support that many of our students were experiencing in school, some even lacking teachers for certain subjects. We believe that as students, we have the ability to better relate to our tutees, because we have been through the process ourselves!​
Our mission is clear: to offer tailored learning experiences facilitated by expert student tutors in their respective fields, ensuring each student receives the attention and guidance they need to succeed. Our tutors are carefully selected from esteemed universities/schools across the UK and have proven academic records. All this comes at affordable prices, unlike the ridiculous fees charged by many adult tutors!

Why we do what we do.
Let’s be real — for years, tutoring has felt like a chore for most teens. We get it. We've been in your shoes. The truth is, traditional teaching methods haven’t evolved fast enough to keep up with the way students learn today — and that’s exactly where we come in.
We're not just tutors. We're recent students and young professionals who’ve been through the exam grind ourselves. That means we know what works, what doesn’t, and what really helps you get results.
We teach in a way that’s relatable, engaging, and straight to the point — no boring lectures, no outdated methods. We’ll share the hacks, strategies, and mindset shifts that actually make a difference.
Think of us less like teachers, and more like mentors — here to guide you, support you, and help you navigate your academic journey with confidence.

Our Ethos.
Building student confidence
It's crucial for students to realize that in the exam, we will not be there! Thus, it's vital for them to develop self-reliance and confidence in their abilities. To facilitate this, we allocate 15 minutes of each session for students to independently tackle exam-style questions. In this way our students learn how to remain calm and approach difficult problems systematically.
Flexibility and adaptability
In an ever-evolving educational landscape, our style of teaching embraces innovation and responsiveness to change, allowing us to meet the evolving needs of students and provide relevant and effective educational solutions.
Transparent Communication
Open and transparent feedback is fundamental to our ethos. Students need to know where to improve and how. That's why we maintain clear channels of communication with both students and parents, ensuring that everyone is informed and involved in the learning process.
