We’re delighted to share that The Profs Group has been named ‘Private Tutoring Provider of the Year’ at the 2026 EducationInvestor Awards.
Often dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of the education world, the EducationInvestor Awards champion excellence, innovation and achievement across the industry. The award was presented at a ceremony in Hilton Park Lane, London, on 18 June and brought together educators, entrepreneurs and industry leaders to celebrate the very best in education.
For The Profs Group, the award marks another significant milestone in a year that has already seen The Profs receive the King’s Award for Enterprise: the UK’s highest official award for British businesses, personally approved by His Majesty The King.
Commenting on the award, Dr Leo Evans, CEO and Co-Founder of The Profs Group, said:
“This recognition reflects the incredible work of our tutors, educational consultants and wider team who go above and beyond for our students every day. We have always known that personalised education is highly transformative, and it’s rewarding to see that commitment recognised by the wider education sector.“

Why Students Choose The Profs
At the heart of these life-changing outcomes is our network of professional tutors and educational consultants.
In fact, The Profs operates one of the most selective tutor recruitment processes in the industry, accepting just the top 3% of applicants. Every tutor is personally interviewed and assessed not only on their academic credentials, but also on their ability to communicate complex ideas, engage students and deliver outstanding educational results.
Safeguarding and quality assurance are central to our process, with all tutors required to complete KYC and enhanced DBS checks before ever working with our students.
As a result of these standards, The Profs has built an elite network of highly accomplished educators from leading universities. A remarkable 98% hold postgraduate qualifications, 41% possess PhDs, and 70% boast at least 10 years, often several decades, of classroom experience in top schools or universities.
For students and families, this means every tutor has been carefully selected not only for their wealth of knowledge, but also for their ability to provide a safe, professional and highly effective learning experience.
