I went from 43% in first year to receiving a masters offer at the LSE! Having almost failed my first year I decided to get tutoring from The Profs in my second year. Thanks to the brilliant quality of the tutors I managed to score a 1st in my second year and receive an offer for the LSE Masters in Management. A big thank you to The Profs.

How are The Profs' undergraduate civil engineering tutors selected and vetted?

The Profs operates one of the most rigorous selection processes for civil engineering tutors in the UK - only 3% of applicants are accepted. Each civil engineering tutor proposed for undergraduate students meets the following standards before being matched:

All tutors hold a university degree in Engineering, Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline; 98% hold a postgraduate qualification (MSc or higher) and 45% hold a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Every tutor has a minimum of two years' teaching or industry experience; the average teaching and engineering experience exceeds 10 years
All tutors undergo identity verification and an enhanced DBS check plus KYC screening
Many tutors are current or former university lecturers, examiners, chartered structural engineers or practising professional civil engineers
Each civil engineering tutor is vetted against the specific module or specification - structural analysis, soil mechanics, foundations engineering, fluid mechanics, engineering mathematics (including applied mathematics) or dissertation supervision - before being matched with a student

What experience do The Profs' civil engineering tutors bring to undergraduate engineering students?

Undergraduate civil engineering students need both theoretical depth and practical problem-solving. The Profs' civil engineering tutors provide:

Deep subject knowledge across civil engineering subjects, including structural mechanics and structural analysis modules, and the mathematics that underpins them
Hands-on engineering experience from tutors who have worked as structural engineers or in mechanical engineering teams on real design projects in civil contexts
Expertise in engineering mathematics, applied mathematics and the mathematics needed for module assessments and coursework
Support for dissertation planning and supervision, coursework feedback, AutoCAD, MATLAB and other computational tools used in the sector
A structured teaching approach that emphasises understanding over rote learning and builds long-term problem-solving ability

How much progress can an undergraduate civil engineering student expect with The Profs?

Our internal data shows strong outcomes for engineering students. Most undergraduate civil engineering students see measurable improvement in module marks, exam technique and confidence, particularly in mathematics and mechanics. The Profs tracks progress and focuses on:

Diagnosing gaps in mathematics, mechanics and core civil engineering concepts early
Building topic-by-topic mastery aligned with course syllabuses and marking criteria
Improving exam technique, time management and the ability to structure answers in open-ended design and analysis questions
