Web design for tutors
Astra Labs designs custom websites for independent tutors, tutoring teams, tuition centres, language academies and exam preparation providers. A site costs $499 one time for up to five pages, with $99 to start and $400 when you love it, before it goes live. We show a real question worked the way you teach it, let parents find their child's year and subject in a tap, put your hourly rates or packages in plain view, and lead to the free assessment or first lesson you already offer.
The person reading a tutoring site is usually a worried parent, sometimes the student, often at night after a disappointing mock result. These lessons come from the tutoring businesses we designed for and the sites they had before.
Several of these tutors had something most marketing never shows: films of their own hand working a real exam question, a tip recorded for students, an annotated script. Putting one worked example on the homepage shows the teaching itself, which is what parents most want to judge.
Tutoring is organised by curriculum: SQA Higher in Scotland, GCSE and A-level in England, Grades 8 to 12 in Canada, SAT and AP in the US, Cambridge levels in Spain. Let families start from their own system and year, and show only the classes that fit.
Seven of the ten businesses published an hourly rate or package price, and the clearest ones laid it out by level. Parents compare tutors on price and on trust together, so a simple table beside the request button helps them decide.
Free lessons, assessments and short consultations came up again and again. Make that offer the main button, booked through the calendar you already use, so the first conversation happens while the parent is still worried enough to act.
Families want to know who will sit across the screen from their child. Real headshots, the subjects each tutor teaches and a line about their own results do more than stock photos of students in a library, which four of these sites relied on.
Half of these businesses already ran a login of some kind for students or parents, from a homework programme to a lesson platform. The website should welcome new families and send current ones to that login with one clear button.
We studied the site of every tutoring business we designed for in October 2026: 10 in all, mostly in the UK, with one each in the US, Canada and Spain. On 1 November 2026 we opened each homepage again as a phone; 8 loaded fully. That is a very small group, so these are observations, not industry statistics.
On the technical side these were some of the most careful sites we saw. Every homepage we measured had a main heading and a meta description, and most carried structured data, often because the tutor had built the site personally or with a modern framework. Three were hand-coded, and one maths tutor had written small browser games for his students.
The gap was in showing the teaching. One London maths tutor had several hundred short films of exam questions worked in biro on real papers, watched widely on social media, while his website used stock photos of students. A tutoring team in Indiana had a single real photo of a live session. Two sites carried template leftovers such as a sample phone number or placeholder testimonials, and one had a blog filled with spam posts its owners had not noticed, which is easy to miss and quick to fix.
Method: our review notes describe each old site in writing; we counted notes mentioning stock or generated images and placeholder content, and read each for prices, films and logins. Phone checks opened each homepage once at 390 pixels wide. See the full method.
None of these businesses asked to be named, so we give the kind of tutoring and the region only. Each design was made from the tutor's own films, photos, prices and words.
These parts come standard on every tutoring site we make.
One real question solved the way you teach it, from your film, your handwriting or a short step-by-step.
Your curriculum and year groups, so a family sees only the classes that fit their child.
Hourly rates, group prices or monthly plans by level, in a table you can edit in the dashboard.
Your free lesson, assessment or consultation, booked through Calendly, Cal.com, SimplyBook or Setmore.
Each tutor's photo, subjects and own results, so parents know who will teach their child.
One clear link to the lesson platform, homework programme or portal your students already use.
One fixed price for a single tutor or a team with several subjects. You start with $99, and the remaining $400 is paid only after you have approved the finished site, before launch.
One time, with no termly or monthly charge unless you choose hosting.
We revise it with you until it is right. If it never is, the full payment is refunded.
An Astra Labs tutoring site is $499 one time for up to five pages: $99 to get started and $400 once you approve it, before launch. Extra subject pages are $149 for five, and hosting is an optional $30 a month.
Yes. Your existing booking link opens from every button, so trial lessons and assessments land in your calendar as they do now. If you would like parents to choose a time and pay a deposit, live booking can be added for $149.
Yes, they are often the best thing a tutor owns. We use one as a worked example near the top and can show a selection by subject. If you publish on YouTube, new videos can appear on the site by themselves.
Yes. The website links to your existing platform, portal or homework programme with a clear login button, and nothing about it changes. Building a new portal or course area is a custom quote.
Yes. The finder starts from the family's own system, whether that is GCSE and A-level, SQA, the Canadian grades, SAT and AP or Cambridge English levels, and shows the matching classes and prices.
Yes. Your domain stays registered in your name and your email keeps working. We only point the domain at your new site when it goes live.
Show them how you teach before they choose. $499 for the complete site, $99 to start.
