Upgrade was founded by cousins Jay and Parth. Having recently achieved top grades themselves, they built this platform to connect school students with high performing university students who understand exactly how to succeed in today’s exams. Since university students have just mastered the content, they teach clarity & relevence, all at a lower cost than traditional teaching.

Our Initiative

We created upgrade to promote exceptional university students as tutors. Every tutor on our platform achieved A*s in the subjects they teach at A Level and now studies that discipline at a leading university. They specialise in their field and have a genuine academic advantage.


We believe recent high achievers often explain concepts more clearly because the material and exam strategy are still fresh in their minds. They know the mark schemes, the common mistakes, and the precise techniques required to secure top grades. Many teachers have not sat these exams for years. Our tutors mastered them recently.


At the same time, talented university students seek meaningful, flexible work alongside their studies. Teaching allows them to earn additional income while sharing the methods that helped them excel. As they are students themselves, they can teach at more competitive rates, keeping tuition affordable without compromising quality.
