Built by a Teacher, Not a Boardroom
Over 160 hand-picked tutors — and you'll still only ever deal with one person.
Before Pegasus, I spent years teaching inside the UK's top schools — and I also worked as a tutor for other agencies. What I saw there didn't sit right with me. Commissions so large they had to be justified with marketing polish rather than the service actually being delivered, so families were paying premium fees without always getting a premium match. Decisions about how to run an education business being made by people who'd never taught a lesson. And some of the best tutors I knew leaving within a year or two, because the deal they were being offered simply wasn't fair either.
None of that struck me as good for anyone. So I built the agency I wished existed — fair enough to tutors that our best ones actually stay with us for years, and good enough for families that it never needs fluff to sell itself.
That's still how it works today. There's no call centre, and no account-management layer standing between you and the person who actually knows your child's tutor. When you get in touch, you're speaking with me directly — and you will be for as long as we work together.
Alex Sever
Founder & Tutor
A King's Scholar at Eton and PPP graduate from Oxford, Alex went on to teach Oxbridge Entrance at Eton and Mathematics at Wellington College, before becoming Head of Science at a specialist SEN school in London. He continues to teach alongside running the agency today, and personally reviews every tutor application and matches every family himself — nothing is handed off to an algorithm or a junior account manager.
What Working Directly With Us Looks Like
Hand-Picked, Not Algorithm-Matched
Every tutor on our books is personally interviewed and vetted before they ever meet a family.
One Point of Contact, Always
You deal directly with the person running the agency — from your first enquiry through to university applications.
Advice That's Never Metered
School choices, subject decisions, tutor changes — ongoing conversations are part of the relationship, not a billable extra.
The Wider Team
Alongside Alex, a small leadership team helps run things day to day — backed by a roster of 160+ personally vetted tutors, so you get both a personal relationship and real breadth of choice.
