How it works

Simple and easy, for every family.

No forms to wrestle and no waiting to be matched. You choose the tutor, you choose the time. Here is exactly what happens.

Three steps, from request to a steady rhythm.

Tell us what you need. We propose a screened tutor, a rate inside the published band and a time. Your first report arrives after your first lesson.

Request a match

1

Tell us the subject, level and target

Share what your child needs, including the subject, level and target.

2

We propose the match

We propose a screened tutor, a rate inside the published band for that level, and a time.

3

Confirm and pay

You pay only after you confirm the proposed tutor, rate and time. No subscription and nothing auto-renews.

4

Your first lesson is guaranteed

If the first lesson with a new tutor is not right, tell us within 48 hours. Our staff review it, and where the claim is upheld we refund it in full.

5

A report after every lesson

What was covered, what improved, one real moment from the lesson, and what is next. Written by the tutor, checked and approved by the Elysian team before it reaches you.

6

Everything stays in one place

Lessons, messages with your tutor, approved reports and your child's progress all live in the family portal. Messages stay on Elysian so our safeguarding team can see them.

2I was impressed by

She asked for a moment to think before the ethics question, then structured the answer in three parts unprompted.

3We'll keep working at

Saying plainly what she does not know and reasoning from there, instead of guessing at a fact.

4Next time we'll cover

A second unseen problem, then a twenty-minute timed mock with the camera on.

5Practice before next lesson

Sample report, fictional student. This is the format families receive once lessons begin.

The lesson report

Five sections, readable in two minutes.

1

Today we covered. Each topic marked struggling, progressing or confident, so you see exactly where things stand.

2

I was impressed by. One real moment from the lesson, in the tutor's own words.

3

We'll keep working at. The honest bit. What still needs time.

4

Next time we'll cover. The plan for the next lesson, so lessons never drift.

5

Practice before next lesson. Specific tasks with rough timings.

Every report is checked and approved by the Elysian team before it reaches you, and every approved report joins your child's record in the parent portal.

The first-lesson guarantee

If your first lesson with a new tutor isn't right, we refund it in full.

Tell us within 48 hours of that lesson and we will look at it and refund what you paid. After that, cancel with at least 24 hours' notice for a full refund, or with less notice for half.
