TutorStudio exists because the tools UK tutors actually use have not kept pace with the regulations they work inside. KCSIE 2025, UK GDPR, the Children’s Code, DBS posture — the defaults of this platform, never the upsell. The aim is one tool that fits the relationship between a tutor, a family and a student, end to end.
TutorStudio is built by Mike Marshall under TutorStudio Ltd, a UK operating company. Solo founder, no investors, no marketing budget. The platform is the work; the work is the platform. Most decisions are documented in public — the trust page, the changelog and the architectural decision record sit next to the product, on purpose.
See trustPrivate UK tutoring is a £6 billion sector held up by spreadsheets, marketplaces that take a cut, and generic CRMs the courts have now ruled non-compliant for child data. TutorStudio is the alternative — a single tool designed for AADC compliance from day one, that refuses to take commission on the work tutors actually do.
The site you are reading sits on the marketing canvas — deep emerald, brand-statement register. The blog sits on a hi-contrast cream editorial canvas — long-form reading register. The app itself sits on a soft emerald product canvas — daily-driver clarity. Three jobs, three optimal surfaces, one brand emerald constant across all of them.
The people in every product mockup, every site screenshot and every example are deliberately the same handful of characters. They are composites — designed, not real — and they exist so every page tells one consistent story rather than a stream of stock-photo strangers.
Built to keep the first users on the cap table of an enduring practice. The seats are finite; the discount stays with the account, not the tier.
