Your Child's Education, Supported the Right Way
GrindSpot connects your child with tutors we approve ourselves, anywhere in Ireland. Every Garda vetting is checked by hand before it shows on a profile. Monitor their progress, review sessions, and pay securely — all from one safe platform.
Find a Tutor for Your ChildEverything in One Safe Place
No more WhatsApp groups or cash payments. GrindSpot provides a professional, transparent, and secure tutoring experience.
Vetting We Check Ourselves
We read every Garda vetting disclosure ourselves before the verified badge goes on a profile — never a tick-box the tutor fills in. Tutors who say they are vetted but have not sent the document are labelled self-declared, so you can tell the two apart at a glance.
Secure Online Payments
Pay securely by card via Stripe — no cash, no subscription. You pay per lesson and nothing else.
See the Work, Not Just the Bill
Every note the tutor shares, every piece of homework your child hands in, and every marked worksheet stays on file for the whole year. You can see what is actually happening, lesson after lesson.
Built-in Video Rooms
Online lessons happen in our secure, built-in video rooms. No need for Zoom, Teams, or sharing personal contact information.
You Sign Before They Book
A student under 16 cannot book a lesson or message a tutor until a named parent or guardian has signed consent online. The consent asks you to supervise the lessons and the content your child accesses. Students aged 16 and over can book on their own.
Safe In-Platform Messaging
All communication stays within GrindSpot. No need to share phone numbers or email addresses with tutors.
You Decide How Bookings Work
Choose, for each child, whether you approve every lesson before it is booked or are simply told and asked to pay. When you are linked to your child's account, you pay, never your child.
Book for Your Child
Book lessons straight from your own account. Add your children, or link to a child who already has an account, and their lessons, homework and receipts are all in one place.
A Real Online Classroom
A shared whiteboard for working through problems, and the tutor's worksheets open beside the video. Some tutors also offer a free intro lesson, group lessons and lesson packages.
How It Works for Parents
Getting your child the right tutor takes just a few minutes.

Every interaction, payment, and lesson happens within our secure platform, giving you full visibility and control.
Parents Ask
Everything you need to know before booking your child's first session.
How are tutors vetted?
Every profile is reviewed by us before it goes live. When a tutor sends us their Garda vetting disclosure, we read and verify it by hand before the badge appears on their profile — so you can see at a glance which tutors carry it. The verified badge is never self-declared on GrindSpot.
How much does it cost?
Tutors set their own rates, typically €15–€100 per hour. There are no sign-up fees or platform subscriptions. You only pay for sessions.
What if we're not happy with a tutor?
If the tutor is not the right fit, contact us within 48 hours and we'll help you find an alternative or arrange a refund. You can also cancel any booking free of charge up to 24 hours before the session.
Is my child's data safe?
We take data protection seriously. All data is encrypted, payments are processed by Stripe, and personal information is never shared with third parties.
Can I track my child's sessions?
Yes. The student dashboard shows all upcoming and past sessions, hours completed, and progress across each subject. You can log in together to review.
Are online sessions safe?
Online sessions take place in our built-in video rooms — no need for Zoom or sharing personal details. Sessions are private and secure.
Give Your Child the Support They Deserve
