A Mission to Change Education Through People and Technology
Education is not made to fit all students.
Parents and students often find themselves lost academically despite following the path laid out by existing institutions. They are often made to feel insufficient or broken for not fitting the mold, for whatever reason this may be.
However, it seems unreasonable that this one-size-fits-all approach SHOULD fit all students. But we live in a time where there are alternative options available.
As both a student who’s used private tuition and tutor who’s taught all ages, I’ve seen this firsthand. Students struggle, not because they weren’t capable, but because they weren’t given the right support at the right time. Parents are frustrated by the lack of transparency and quality control in private tuition. And highly capable tutors struggle to reach the students in need of help.
I wanted to fix this. So I built Greenhill Academics.
It Kinda Built Itself…
I never set out to build a tutoring company. I simply used my knowledge of my subjects to help students improve, and parents asked for different subjects. I joined forces with academics who I knew from Oxford and Cambridge universities to provide high quality tuition.
The more parents who I interacted with, the more I noticed the same issues:
- Parents struggled to find high-quality, reliable tutors.
- Tutor performance was mixed when time was short before important exams
- Students and tutors struggled to make impactful connection
I knew there had to be a better way.
So, I started by focusing on quality. Every tutor at Greenhill Academics has attended one of the top universities in the world—usually Oxford or Cambridge. We rigorously screen tutors to see whether they match our philosophy on education.
Then, I tackled transparency to make sure parents and students felt less lost in the process. We use clear, structured learning path—not just ad-hoc lessons. We built systems to track progress, provide feedback, and ensure every student was actually improving, not just clocking in hours.
And finally, I wanted to give tutors the respect they deserved. No more underpaid, low-commitment jobs. We built a model where top educators could thrive, focusing on teaching rather than chasing clients or dealing with admin.
The Bigger Mission: Changing Education Through People and Technology
Greenhill Academics uses the combination of both people and technology to provide the absolute best possible service.
We believe education should be:
- Personalised: Every student learns differently, and teaching should adapt to them—not the other way around.
- Human: Great tutors don’t just teach subjects; they inspire confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning.
- Efficient: Technology should enhance learning, not replace it. We use automation and AI to streamline processes but keep teaching deeply personal.
- Ethical: Our tutors aren’t just freelancers-for-hire; they’re part of a professional community that values integrity and impact.
Where We’re Going Next
Right now, Greenhill Academics is growing fast. We’ve built a reputation for quality, and we’re working with students across the UK and beyond. But we’re just getting started.
- We’re using technology to provide high quality lessons with the fastest booking system.
- We’re developing better onboarding and training for tutors to ensure the highest standards.
- We’re expanding into international tutoring to help students worldwide access top-tier education.
Most importantly, we’re staying true to our mission: changing education through people and technology.
