Just been quoted £100 / hr from a tutor…

[Ooolaaaala]

Am I out of touch - or is this the going rate?

It's for A level drama … online ….. and they also said they do 30mins for £50.

That seems insane to me. 3 times the going rate here.

That seems a lot, I think it’s about 30 quid an hour here.

Is the drama teacher in character wearing a mask and striped jumper?

Damn ...
I paid £28 ph last year!

I pay £40 an hour for an in person Biology tutor.

I think tuition fees vary widely depending on the area and the level.
You'll always pay more in London and the south east and again will pay more for A level than gcse.
For dd, I paid £25 p/h online for gcse tuition (university students offering tuition) but would charge more if I were tutoring one to one; probably £35-40. (I'm a qualified teacher with 25+ years experience of A level / GCSE)

Just read op again and see it was for online tuition? Wow that's steep!

Utter madness. Is it a mistake. Maybe is a famous actor.

We are paying 45 quid an hour for an A level biology tutor. £100 is ridiculous (IMO)!

With a bag that says swag.
Quite.

I tutor English language and lit up to degree level and charge £15 online and £20 in person. I'm clearly missing a very big trick!

Seems ok to me. Kip McGrath charge £50 for 45 mins locally. That’s in a centre so no travelling between students for the tutor.
perhaps they have a skill set that is in short supply?

Going rate seems to be £30 p/hour where we are. This is what we're paying for DS.

The most expensive I've seen was £145 ph for Maths GCSE, with a guarantee of a certain amount of grade increase - I can't remember now how much of an increase. I couldn't afford them.

I pay £30ph but I think the going rate for most things is £35 around here.I only look for tutors who know how to teach, not people who are really good at their subject. I'm not sure if that's the right approach or not.

This tutor must be Sir Ben Kingsley himself 😐

I winner if you get your money back if there is no grade increase?

Wonder

Blimey. Maths GCSE is £25 or £30 ph here in Surrey.

Sounds like they don't want to do it to me.

I would say it's high, but equally A-level Drama is a somewhat niche skills set (I am assuming it's someone who currently teaches the course?).

If they have a strong track record in improving grades, then I can understand why they might charge this.

Or, as a PP says, maybe they are very busy and don't especially want the work?

Hmm, one of mine is a first year uni drama student currently earning minimum wage (no issue with that) for a bar job. Will mention that she's definitely missing the market!!

They have given me a time slot of when they are available - so free to do the work.

Well they will if they're going to score 100 quid an hour.

Tradespeople have been known to quote outrageous prices because they don't really want to do it.

£50ph hour for physics here - just put the rate up to £75ph to cover peak demand season but holding at £50 for those already signed up….

£40 p/hr 1:1 F2F in Scotland
for N5 (GCSE equivalent).
