How much does online tutoring cost in the UK?
6 min read · updated 2026-08-31
UK tutoring rates vary more than most parents expect: the same one-hour GCSE maths lesson can cost £18 or £50 depending on who teaches it and how they charge. Here is what families actually pay, and where online tuition fits in.
Typical UK tutor rates
Comparison sites put most UK private tuition between £18 and £30 per hour, with classroom teachers and exam specialists charging £33 to £50+. London in-person rates run higher. Online sessions are typically 10-20% cheaper than in-person equivalents because there is no travel.
What GCSE and A-Level tutoring costs
GCSE one-to-one sits mostly in the £20-35 band; A-Level specialists commonly charge £30-50. Exam-season crash courses and weekly mock marking push rates up. Agencies add their margin on top of the tutor's rate, so the same tutor can cost different amounts on different platforms.
How EagleTeach prices for UK families
Because our degree-qualified tutors are based in Pakistan, UK families pay from £39 per month for four 60-minute sessions (roughly £10 per session), with A-Level and exam-intensive support included in the same structure. Every plan starts with two free demo classes, the second sibling gets 20% off, and you pay monthly by Wise, Payoneer or bank transfer with no lock-in.
Ways to pay less without losing quality
- ✓ Book monthly packages instead of single sessions
- ✓ Share the habit: siblings get 20% off the second package
- ✓ Match the tutor to your exact exam board so no session is wasted on irrelevant content
- ✓ Use the two free demo classes to test before you spend anything
