What does a GCSE tutor cost?
5 min read · updated 2026-08-31
GCSE tutoring is usually billed weekly, so the real question is the monthly cost. Here is what parents pay across maths, English and science, how many sessions make sense, and a transparent alternative.
Typical GCSE tutoring rates
Most UK GCSE tuition runs £20-35 per hour one-to-one, with exam-season specialists at the top of that range. Over a school year of weekly sessions, that is £800-1,400 per subject, which is why families increasingly compare monthly packages instead of hourly rates.
How many sessions does a GCSE student need?
One focused 60-minute session per week is the standard, with the student doing questions between sessions. Bumping to two weekly sessions helps most in the final term before exams or for resits; beyond that, returns diminish unless mocks show a specific gap.
Subject-by-subject notes
- ✓ Maths: the most requested subject; marks come from method, so weekly past-paper drills pay off fastest
- ✓ English: needs marking-heavy support (essays and comprehension), so check the tutor marks against exam criteria
- ✓ Science: combined or triple, matched to your board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR), with required practicals covered explicitly
EagleTeach GCSE pricing
£39-45 equivalent per month for weekly one-to-one sessions with a degree-qualified, board-matched tutor, weekly parent updates, and two free demo classes before you pay anything. Two weekly sessions (the exam-season push) still costs less than most single local lessons at premium rates.
FAQs
Is one session a week enough to move a GCSE grade?＋
For most students yes, provided the sessions target weak topics and the student completes the set questions between lessons. Two sessions a week suit resits or students more than two grades off target.
Combined or triple science: does the price differ?＋
Not with us. Sessions follow your school's specification either way; tell us the board and route when you book.
