We are thrilled to announce that The Profs has been shortlisted in the SME category of the 2025 Santander X UK Awards! Out of nearly 1,200 applicants, only 50 businesses have been selected to move forward, and we are proud to be among the cohort of innovators.
So far, Santander’s flagship business pitching competition has awarded £1.1 million to support emerging UK businesses, and this year’s winners could receive up to £30,000 in funding.
What’s Next
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be taking part in a series of workshops and pitching our business for the chance to secure a place in the National Final in Milton Keynes on 13 November. At Profs HQ, we see this as an amazing opportunity to showcase the life-changing work we’re doing, connect with other ambitious founders, and gain valuable exposure and feedback from industry experts.
We’ll be sharing more updates along the way – watch this space!
About The Profs Tuition
Founded in 2014, The Profs is an EdTech company on a mission to help students achieve life-changing success in education. Through the innovation of online tutoring technologies, our reach and impact are global.
Nothing speaks to our success quite like the individual stories of the 12,000 students, in over 120 countries, that our tutors supported. According to our 2025 client feedback survey:
- 99% of undergraduate applicants got into their first or second-choice university.
- 66% of Oxbridge applicants secured places (over 3x the national average).
- 68% of A-level students achieved an A*/A* (over 2.5x the national average).
- 92% of our students achieved a grade improvement.
Our ability to deliver life-changing results for students depends on the incredible work of our tutors. Our Tutor Community Team put thousands of hours each year into vetting our network before they are introduced to students and, consequently, our network showcases the best the industry has to offer: 98% have postgraduate qualifications, 41% hold doctorates and the majority have 10+ years of teaching experience.
As part of our commitment to transparency and quality, we continue to share performance data with prospective clients and the wider sector. If you are seeking academic support, our Client Success Team will personally connect you with one of our exceptional GCSE Tutors, A-Level Tutors, University Tutors, or University Admissions Tutors.
