Founder Richard Evans, whilst studying at university, sensed a gap in the market for the type of quality, bespoke academic guidance and tuition that he desired. He brought together five tutors who shared his vision and The Profs was born and have worked with over 400 academics who have helped 2500 students in subjects as diverse as econometrics, epidemiology and veterinary sciences.
