01
Most of the fee is yours
There is no agency taking the larger share. We keep the platform lean and return the majority of every fee to the person who taught the session. That is the whole reason we built it.
For researchers
The people who do the teaching
should keep its value.
Wisesprout is run by active postdocs from one research group at a top UK university. We built the platform we wanted to exist — where most of the fee follows the teaching, not a middleman, and where your name stays yours. If you do real research and like to teach, write to us.
How we work
Four things we hold to.
02
You set your rate
Your rate reflects your academic standing, not a race to the bottom against undergraduates on a marketplace. You are paid as the researcher you are.
03
You teach. We carry the rest.
Scheduling, payments, materials, matching students to the right mentor — the admin runs underneath you. You show up and teach.
04
Your name stays yours
We present as a collective, not as named individuals. You decide how much of your identity is public — full, partial, or anonymised — and you can change it later.
Who we partner with
Selective, on purpose.
We do not take everyone. Not to be exclusive for its own sake, but because students trust that every mentor here is genuinely active in their field. That trust is the product.
- Active in research — a PhD candidate, postdoc, or faculty member at a leading UK university, working in your subject now.
- A real wish to teach — not a side hustle between deadlines, but something you would do well and want to do.
- Sciences and quantitative subjects, from GCSE and A-level through to university entrance.
If that is you, the rest is a short conversation.
