GoStudent is a Vienna-based tutoring marketplace that matches school-age students with private tutors for live 50-minute one-to-one video lessons, in many subjects, with a shared whiteboard, quizzes, lesson recordings and AI-written lesson summaries for parents. In Germany it also runs in-person learning centers. Families buy a package of lessons per month over a fixed term. A separate GoStudent Learning subscription adds an AI tutor called Amelia that answers curriculum questions.
Our take: A real tutor at a mid-range price, but read the contract: it renews automatically and is hard to exit after two weeks.
| Ages it suits | school-age students (paid lessons 14+, or younger with parent consent) |
|---|---|
| What its terms say about age | Anyone can register, but paid lessons require users to be at least 14; younger children need a parent or legal representative's prior consent. Tutors must be 18+. (terms) |
| Price | Paid. UK (Oct 2026): from £22.71 per 50-minute lesson with a 12-month membership and more lessons a month (e.g. £26.84 at 12 lessons a month, £30.97 at 4); base price £24.99; GoStudent Learning with the AI tutor £14.90 a month, first month free; free trial lesson. |
| Works on | Web |
| Account | A parent's account |

| In-app purchases | None |
| The AI in it | AI writes lesson summaries and recaps, and the AI tutor Amelia answers students' curriculum questions; the teaching itself is by human tutors. |

Data and privacy
Lessons run on Zoom and can be recorded; GoStudent processes student and parent contact and booking data and uses it for marketing to existing customers. UK tutors must hold an enhanced DBS check no older than 12 months. Read the privacy policy.
Does it work?
Maker claims only (its homepage cites a 95% success rate); no independent study found.
