Trustees

Andrew Ground

Chair of Trustees

Driven by a desire to establish a socially responsible model of tutoring, Andrew founded Tutorfair and Tutorfair Foundation in 2012. Before this, he was the UK MD of LOVEFILM, a local councillor and a school governor, so he brings a real wealth of skills and experience to our governance. Andrew works with us every day to ensure the Foundation is well-managed, ambitious and impactful.

Edd Stockwell

Trustee

Edd keeps everything moving as it should be, making sure we are doing everything we can to make the Foundation the best it can be. He has previously run three start-ups and has an insatiable curiosity to learn everything. We're not quite sure what powers Edd: he doesn't eat much, doesn't sleep much, cycles everywhere and is constantly upbeat and optimistic – your secret, please?

Mark Maclaine

Trustee, Co-Founder

A tutor since 1999, and awesome at it. Students are inspired by his energy and enthusiasm. He instils a love of learning which goes far beyond the Maths & Science he teaches. We love Mark … and all his stories. Mark is ruthless about vetting tutors to ensure we've got the best, and his own personal journey makes him deeply passionate about our social mission.
