The honest comparison
A good tutor costs £40 an hour
and goes home at six
This is not a worse version of a human tutor that happens to be cheaper. There are specific things it does that a person sitting next to you simply cannot.
£40
an hour, for a person who is asleep when the exam is tomorrow morning and booked out the week you actually fall behind.
At 2am, the night before
An hour with a tutor
Booked out, asleep, or £50 for an emergency hour
TUTOR AI
Open. Same patience at 2am as at 2pm.
Asking the same thing six times
An hour with a tutor
You stop asking around the third, because you can feel it
TUTOR AI
It re-explains a different way. It has no opinion about you.
Knowing your actual course
An hour with a tutor
Works from their material until you've paid for enough hours
TUTOR AI
Teaches from your slides, in your lecturer's notation, from lesson one
Remembering last term
An hour with a tutor
Remembers you. Probably not which explanation worked in October.
TUTOR AI
Knows which kinds of explanation land for you, measured over every session
Practice papers
An hour with a tutor
Whatever they had time to prepare
TUTOR AI
Unlimited, generated from your material, weighted to your weak spots
What's left afterwards
An hour with a tutor
A wiped whiteboard and whatever you managed to copy down
TUTOR AI
Every board saved, searchable, exportable, on any device you sign into
One thing they do better
A brilliant human tutor who knows you well is still a wonderful thing. Most students do not have one, cannot afford one weekly, and cannot call one at midnight. This is built for the other twenty-three hours.
