Helping Students Grow
Tipu was founded with a simple belief: every student has the potential to succeed with the right support and guidance.
Our Mission
We connect students with university tutors who not only excel academically but also understand what it's like to navigate exams, coursework, and the pressures of student life.
Unlike traditional tutoring agencies, our tutors are current university students. They've recently walked in your shoes, tackled the same curriculum, and know exactly what it takes to succeed.
This means more relatable teaching, practical exam tips, and support from someone who truly gets it.
/tee-poo/ — verb
