Find one with a free slot
Looking for atutor?
The tutor you want may be full, teaching another town, or just slow to reply — so finding one with a free slot means asking around. ContactStar finds tutors who match the subject and level you need and writes a personal message to each, so you can reach several at once.
Finding a tutor who has room to teach
Finding a good tutor is half the battle; finding one who's actually taking new students, teaches the right level, and can fit your schedule is the other half. Working through profiles and messaging them one by one, then waiting to see who even replies, eats a whole evening.
ContactStar shortens it. Describe what you need — the subject, the level, in person or online, roughly where — and it puts together a shortlist of tutors and teachers who match, with the details each lists for enquiries.
It writes a personal message to each one, which you read and approve before it's sent. Replies come to your own inbox, and you keep a record of who you've asked — so you can compare who's available and pick, instead of losing track across half-answered threads.
What you get
What ContactStar does for your tutor search
It handles the searching and the writing. You choose who to ask and what to say.
Describe the subject, level and goal — and whether you want online or in person — and ContactStar builds a shortlist of tutors who match, with the contact details they list for new students.
AI drafts a clear enquiry to every tutor — in any of 9 languages — with the subject, level and what you're aiming for. You approve each before it sends, so reaching several takes minutes.
Every inquiry keeps an exact record of what you sent and to whom, so you never message the same tutor twice or lose track of replies. Answers land in your own inbox, not in ContactStar.
Messages are sent from a ContactStar address showing your name, with your own email as the Reply-To, so tutors reply straight to you. Your shortlist is never sold, shared or exported.
Finding a tutor who fits
Availability and fit both matter
A tutor search has two moving parts: who has space in their schedule, and who's the right fit for the subject, the level and the student. You often can't tell either from a listing, so the practical move is to reach several tutors with the specifics and let the ones who can genuinely help reply.
What to say when you reach out
Be specific: the subject and level (GCSE maths, beginner Spanish, first-year university statistics), the goal (catching up, an exam in June, general confidence), whether you want online or in person, and rough availability. The more precise you are, the faster a tutor can tell you whether they're a match — and the better their first reply will be.
ContactStar drafts that enquiry for each tutor and lets you edit every one before it sends.
Checking experience and references
For a tutor working with a child especially, it's fair to ask about relevant experience, exam-board familiarity, and — where it applies — any background check or certification. A good tutor expects these questions and answers them plainly. Asking a few at once lets you compare not just price and availability but how they respond.
Online, in person, and one-off help
Decide early whether online works for you: it widens the pool enormously and is often cheaper, while in person suits younger students and hands-on subjects better. Whether you need weekly sessions or just a few before an exam, say so — and contacting several tutors at once means you can start with whoever's free soonest.

Questions & Answers
Finding a tutor — common questions
Can ContactStar find a tutor who's taking students?
It finds tutors who match the subject and level you describe and lists the details they publish for enquiries. Whether each has a free slot is for them to confirm — so asking several at once is the fastest way to find one who does.
Can I say the subject, level and schedule I need?
Yes — the more specific you are (subject, level, in person or online, when), the closer the shortlist. Each tutor then gets a personal message with those details, which you approve before it's sent.
Is it just for school subjects?
No. Music teachers, language tutors, exam coaching, adult learning — if someone teaches it and lists a way to be reached, you can describe it and ask.
Where do replies go?
To your own inbox. Messages show your name with your email as the Reply-To, so a tutor replies directly to you.
Is this for parents and students, or for tutors advertising?
For the person looking to learn. It's for asking tutors about availability, not for advertising to them — and it's capped and monitored to keep it that way.
Can ContactStar find a tutor for a specific exam or subject?
Yes. You describe the subject, level and goal — a particular exam board, a language from scratch, a university module — and it finds and contacts tutors who cover it. The more specific you are, the better the match.
Is this for regular tutoring or one-off sessions?
Both. Say whether you want ongoing weekly sessions or just a few before a deadline, and the message ContactStar drafts makes that clear so tutors can tell you if it works for them.
How do tutors get back to me?
Each enquiry is sent with your name and your own email as the Reply-To, so tutors reply directly to you and you take it from there.
Looking for something else?
ContactStar isn't only for this one search — it works the same way for all of these.
