Tutoring Fees

The average tutor in the UK charges around £20 - £40 per hour, with rates significantly increasing among specialist Level subject tutors, and particularly those in London, who often charge in excess of £100 per hour.

• Richer neighbourhoods and bigger towns tend to be generally more expensive. London and the South of England are generally more expensive than the rest of the UK. The majority of Northern and Midlands counties average between £20 and £30 per hour, whilst London and Southern counties are generally in the £30 to £40 bracket.

• A-Level / IB Diploma / Scottish Highers' tutors can be more expensive than GCSE / MYB / N5, KS3 and primary school tutors.

• Online tutoring is generally more affordable than in-person tutoring.

• The tutoring fees may vary depending on the subject required. Subjects on demand such as Maths, English and Science tend to cost more than other subjects. Subjects requiring a rare skill or higher levels of expertise can generally cost more. For instance, top-grade music or piano lessons, modern foreign languages, 11+ Entrance Exams or A-Level / IB / Scottish Higher Maths or Science Subjects may generally cost higher than average due to the skills, knowledge and qualifications required to provide the tutoring.

• Qualified and experienced teachers and tutors with advanced qualifications in their taught subjects often charge more than, say, undergraduate students who are still completing their own studies.
