MIL is a tutor and charges £30 an hour.

Monkendrunky · 29/09/2016 15:37

Primary £25 and hour, £20 if block booked

WellTidy · 29/09/2016 15:38

I pay £20 for half an hour. Primary.

SuperMoonIsKeepingMeUpToo · 29/09/2016 15:39

£30 an hour is what I charge too. A friend charges £40 - people pay it!

Toomanycats99 · 29/09/2016 15:39

£33 per hour 11 plus just outside London

DumbledoresPants · 29/09/2016 15:41

Depends on your location. I charge £25 an hour for GCSE but I am aware that I should charge more (going rate is around £27/28 an hour locally). If I was in London, I would probably be charging £30-35 per hour (this seems to be the "going rate" there).

Becca8675309 · 29/09/2016 15:55

We pay £45/hour for our 8 year old. We're in Blackheath, South London.

bringbacksideburns · 29/09/2016 15:57

£23 per hour here in the North West.

Why is everything so expensive up in that there London?!

PurpleDaisies · 29/09/2016 15:57

Totally location based. Where I was working most recently I charged £20 for primary to GCSE and £30 for A level. Those rates are going up now we're in a more affluent area.

Welshrainbow · 29/09/2016 15:57

For GCSE I charge £30 so would expect primary to be around £25 but that's in Yorkshire and would guess if you are London based 35/40 might not be so bad.

bringbacksideburns · 29/09/2016 15:58

That's gcse btw

t4nut · 29/09/2016 15:58

Sellers market - a qualified subject teacher £30+ per hour. Less if not qualified.

TheSecondOfHerName · 29/09/2016 16:02

So far, the only thing we've used a tutor for is to help bridge the gap between GCSE and A-level Maths in the summer before Y12. Qualified secondary school Maths teacher. Near London (inside the M25). We paid £40 per hour.

bringbacksideburns · 29/09/2016 16:04

He's from the Bramhall area, qualified Maths teacher working in a school.

£45 for an 8 year old child. Wow. So expensive!

TheWoollybacksWife · 29/09/2016 16:06

£35 for an hour and a half GCSE tuition when paid in a block of four sessions. East Midlands. Worth every penny for the look of joy on her face on results day.

SE13Mummy · 29/09/2016 20:25

I charge £17 for 45 minutes tutoring for upper KS2 (not 11+, general maths). I'm in Lewisham, South London (10 minutes from Blackheath).

Chikara · 29/09/2016 22:29

£40 - £45 - London.

Reasonable for someone good. (Remember they have to travel, prepare, supply materials etc)

AndNowItsSeven · 29/09/2016 22:30

£20 for 90 minutes both primary and secondary.

AndNowItsSeven · 29/09/2016 22:31

Am in North West.

PurpleDaisies · 29/09/2016 22:31

That's remarkably cheap seven. Where in the country are you?

PurpleDaisies · 29/09/2016 22:32

Cross post there! Is that an experienced tutor/qualified teacher?

AndNowItsSeven · 29/09/2016 22:33

Yeah I do think I am maybe paying less than her other students parents.

AndNowItsSeven · 29/09/2016 22:34

Yes she is a experienced primary teacher with a masters in maths.

LittleGreyCatwithapinkcollar · 29/09/2016 22:36

I generally charge £25ph for gcse and £30 for a level. I reduce this by £5ph if It's a student taught by another teacher in my school as it requires less prep.

Mouseinahole · 29/09/2016 22:37

In Shropshire, I am an examiner and retired teacher. I charge £15 a session ( between 45 mins and an hour) primary and £25 an hour GCSE and £30 A level.
