First Tutors is gone — and it took your reputation with it
If you built your tutoring career on First Tutors, you know how much effort went into those reviews. Here's what happened and why it matters.
The platform shut down without warning
In early 2026, First Tutors went offline. No email, no notice — one day it was there, the next it wasn’t. Thousands of tutor profiles vanished with it.
Your reviews and ratings disappeared
Every five-star rating, every parent’s thank-you note — gone. For tutors who relied on those reviews, this was more than a data loss. It was a blow to years of hard work.
Tutors were left with no way to prove their track record
No export tool, no archive, no warning. If you didn’t manually screenshot your reviews, there’s almost no way to recover them. Until now.
Three steps to reclaim your reviews
We can't automatically fetch your old reviews — but we can help you migrate them. Gather your evidence, add each review manually, and our team handles the rest.
Gather your evidence
Find screenshots, emails, or web archive links of your First Tutors reviews. The more proof you have, the faster we can verify.
Add each review
Use the form below to manually enter each review — who gave it, what they said, and the star rating.
We verify and publish
Our admin team checks each submission against your evidence. Once verified, the reviews appear on your Vital Educators profile.
You add them — we verify and protect them
Vital Educators built this migration tool to help tutors reclaim their reputation. Here's how we keep the process trustworthy.
Verified & authentic
Every migrated review is manually checked by our team before it goes live. We never publish unverified feedback.
Your data stays yours
Screenshots and evidence you upload are only used for verification. They are never shared, sold, or made public.
Admin review before going live
No review goes public without our team checking it first. This protects you and keeps the platform trustworthy for parents and students.
Free, forever
This migration tool is completely free. We believe tutors shouldn’t pay to reclaim reviews they already earned.
