Blue Tutors is a tutoring service that started in Oxford and Cambridge and still remains one of the most popular private tutoring services in Oxford. It employs mainly teachers, Oxford tutors and Oxford students, and is effectively an agency that can be used by tutors to find work and by clients to seek tutors. It's mainly used by parents wanting an hour or two's tuition a week for the children, but tuition is available in all areas from primary school to degree. There are tutors for English as a Foreign Language and even for some musical instruments. All tutors are qualified to a level above that which they teach and all have to give a demonstration lesson before being employed.
Rates start at £15 and go up to £55, depending on the level of tuition needed. They also offer a 3-tier system of tutors, depending on the amount of feedback/experience a tutor has. The more experienced the tutor, the more you pay.
In reality, it often comes down to who's available at the right time, but if you live centrally and you want tuition in a common subject, you should have more choice.
