Online Engineering Tutors

How Expert Engineering Tutoring Can Help You

Ace your course with a private tutor who is at the top of their field.

On your way towards your engineering degree, you may find difficulties in understanding complex concepts, struggle to solve exercises or be unable to structure a project report properly.

Our expert tutors provide extensive support in making engineering content more understandable as a successful engineer must combine scientific rigour with creativity in design, and engineering students are presented with a dizzying array of new concepts and counter-intuitive subjects to master.

Our engineering tutors have expertise in a range of engineering disciplines, including mechanical, civil and electronic engineering. Modern-day engineering also requires a high level of computational literacy, and our one-on-one tutorials are a great way to learn how to write code to solve engineering problems, an increasingly important skill in the job market. Our engineering tutors are highly qualified, with years of academic and hands-on experience in various engineering fields. When you hire our services, you can be sure that you get the best quality you can get. We’ll match you with a tutor who will encourage your learning experience to be fruitful and enjoyable.

The Profs will expertly match you with a private tutor from our network of professional and supremely-qualified educators. Our tutors are incredibly experienced teachers, many of whom have taught at the university level and hold advanced degrees. We interview all of our tutors before they join our network and assess their teaching standards. Only the top 3% of tutors that apply make it through to work with The Profs.

Our Client Liaison Managers will take our requirements and approach the best tutors with the relevant experience. You’ll be provided with a shortlist to choose from. We are proud that 90% of our students work with a specialist in their exact field.

Most of our tutoring sessions take place online, but can, in some cases be face-to-face. The lessons will take place at times that suit both your schedule and your tutor’s.

We’ll call you after your first tutorial to check that everything is going well. In the unlikely event that you’re unhappy with your match, please do let us know your feedback.

How will engineering tutoring help me?

The Profs engineering tutors undertake to provide the best help and advice that they can. You’ll be working with an expert in your selected field, who has taught at an advanced level for a number of years. The tutoring will be tailored to your exact and unique needs and will be scheduled to suit any time frame or deadline you may have. 

Your tutor will arrange an initial consultation to establish your goals and time limit for the tutoring. After that point, you can use their recommendations and can book as many sessions as you need to achieve your desired goal.

We pride ourselves on our fantastic track record of helping students and their high satisfaction levels.

How many sessions will I need?

It really depends on what you are trying to achieve, but it’s very difficult for anyone to make good progress with any topic in less than 5 hours, total, and we don’t arrange tuition placements for any less than that. We usually recommend a 2-hour session to begin with, and many students stick with that length.

Weekly or twice-weekly sessions are usual, but this is always open to discussion with the tutor, and depending on the time limit we can always arrange sessions more or less frequently than that.

Part of the service our tutors provide is an initial consultation. The tutor will be able to discuss your aims with you, and based on their experience with the topics, will be able to give you an estimate of the time needed. They can also help you to structure your study, in between sessions, to ensure that you are making good progress.

What reviews do students give The Profs professional online engineering tutors?

We are extremely proud of our online reviews, available on TrustPilot and on Facebook. We also store the feedback on all our tutors’ work, so we can make sure that we are confident when we put them forward. Unfortunately, we cannot give out details of our students.

Do you have a Code of Conduct?

Absolutely! The Profs are proud to be part of the Tutor’s Association, and we expect all our engineering tutors to abide by the Association’s Code of Ethics, which you can find on your Profs Tutor Cruncher account, in PDF form. We have also added our own Founding Principles, which we give out in every interview, and Terms and Conditions for tutors, which you can read on this website. If ever in doubt, you can call us in the office. We want you to be the best tutor you can be!

Can I have A free online tutoring lesson as a trial?

Unfortunately, we don’t offer trial sessions, but you will have a chance to speak to your tutor before your first session, usually for around half an hour, to discuss your requirements in more detail and to help them prepare properly for your time together. We also have a student satisfaction policy for the first session, which you can read more about in our Terms and Conditions.

Matching you with the right tutor can’t be rushed, but we won’t be wasting any time either. It usually takes around 2-3 working days, so do get in touch as soon as possible to give yourself the best chance of success. If you need to find someone sooner than that, you will need to request a Priority Placement, for which there is an extra charge (see our pricing page).

The timing of sessions is always different and depends on your own availability and the tutor’s schedule. Let us know any preferences or restrictions on your time, and we will do our best to accommodate.
