What’s the hourly rate for private secondary tuition?

[TaRaLa]

Looking at secondary school age in maths and science up to A level, what is the going hourly rate you pay/get paid or would be willing to pay for your child’s private tuition?

Paying £30/oh for online chemistry tutorials for my yr13 DS from a professor.

My standard tutoring rate is £65 p/h though it varies a bit. I would say £50 is pretty normal, although I know tutors charging up to £85.

Near me (SE) it ranges from £20-70. I pay £40 because the tutor is amazing, my child adores the sessions. The £20 tutor we tried briefly was pointless and disorganised.

I was paying £35 south west , couole years ago , more like £40 ish now

While the price does seem to reflect the area and the level (GCSE/A level etc), no-one seems to mention the qualifications of the tutor.

I am stunned by how many people with zero qualifications or experience tutor, and expect to be paid highly. There should be a clear difference between qualified staff and not qualified.
My niece did it over the summer, she is an A level student herself and she tutored year 7 -9. She got about £15 an hour, which seems fair.

I tutor, I am primary trained and I tutor mostly for 11+. I would not consider teaching secondary level anything.

Do check their qualifications.

Some of the prices quoted on here, are ridiculous.
I looked at tutors when my dc was struggling with one of their A levels. Even through agencies, no-one was charging anything like these figures.

Are you the person thinking of setting up as a tutor, or the person looking for a tutor for their child ?

Either way, I think it depends what you are offering. Are you a current teacher with up to date knowledge of the syllabus and exam boards ? Or are you are person who "just" understands the subjects and is willing to help explain concepts to young people?
Are you preparing lessons or going through homework / assignments / exam papers with them?
Are you F2F or on-line ?
Then, are you 1:1? Or small group ?
Are you travelling to their home ?

I’m paying a Y13 A Level student £20 an hour to teach my Y8 DS. He is excellent.

I charge 28 per hour.

The English tutor for my kids was £90 - north London. But he was very very good.. and was always at capacity. I was actually pretty poor when I hired him!

I charge £25 for 45 mins - works out about £33 an hour. I turn down work constantly - so I could probably charge more. I'm booked solid until next September.

People who charge ridiculous rates better be careful as people can use zoom etc so area not important.

£90 per hour? How on earth can that be justified?

It can't be pellegrino

I charge £30 online/£35 in person for GCSE and £40 online/£45 in person for A Level. London.

it is supply and demand.

I only take 6 students per year. I tutor for the 11+ exam, and because of where I am there ar every few tutors in our town.

I was booked up for this September before Christmas last year, with a waiting list. I still have a waiting list.
I already have most of my students for September 2022, and one for 2023.

I charge £30 an hour, which I think is fair. But I know I could easily charge £40-£50 and they would pay. I feel that is too much.
£30 per hour is a good wage.

We pay £45 for English and maths, years 8 & 10.

Seems pretty standard around here, Cheshire.

Crazy money.
It would be cheaper to send your child to a private day school than 3 hours a week at £90 an hour. £20 an hour for an a level student- that’s more than most peoples’ net pay

Are tutors actually working face to face? Why pay such a premium for location when it can be done by zoom?

£30/hour f2f here in the SW for GSCE Maths. That seems about average here.

We pay £20 for an hour in South Yorkshire. It seems a bargain compared to other people’s rates and my child has high functioning asd so he is harder work than most.

Most of my pupils are already at private schools...

Round here, it's typically £35 -£50 per hour depending on age/stage of pupil and experience of tutor.

Current/recent teachers can charge higher rates for eg GCSE because of experience with the syllabus and mark schemes.

Exactly bungle
I have some London students now over zoom; I work for an. online school too so am used to delivering the syllabus that way.
Hopefully some of the crazy prices being quoted might be flattened a bit because of this.

Can I ask what you provide for £60+ an hour? Do you make up detailed notes for the tutee or other 'extras'? I cannot believe people pay up to £90ph!
