SW London how much does a tutor cost?

[Moonlight2024]

Hi all, looking for some guidance please! I’m based in SW London and have 2 daughters (Y3 and Y5) and I’m currently looking for tutors for both of them, but for different reasons. Y3 daughter needs a bit of a confidence boost in both maths and English. Y5 daughter needs some help with 11+ preparation.
The range of quotes I’m receiving is incredibly broad (from £25ph to £110ph!), so I suppose I am interested to know how much you are all paying your tutors?! I would be looking for a qualified primary school teacher. Thanks

about £45-65 from group sessions

£75-100 from 1:1 support

anything below £45 isn’t worth considering. I had TA’s and students below 45 and the ones I’ve had have not been knowledgeable

Wow I tutor (my secondary subject, not advertising and no help to op); I’m a qualified and experienced teacher (not teaching in school any more but well up on exam specs) and £45 is my top rate, and that’s for A level. I’m not in London tho so that probably makes a difference.

Not sure if that’s helpful @Moonlight2024 ? Are you looking for face to face, as that’s more £££ IME and obvs for London they need to live there.

We pay £47.50 an hour, and £55 for A Level for online lessons - the quality of the lessons is brilliant though and made a huge difference.

I'm in Kent and charge as follows for 11 plus tuition.

1:1 50 mins £48
Small group £24 per hour/£28 per 75 mins.

I'm online, so my students come from all over.

London tutors do tend to charge more.

Thanks all for your helpful replies!

I am South East London (Dulwich) and I charge £50 for primary tuition. What makes it expensive are agencies that charge you double what the tutor gets. Look for a qualified teacher who tutors independently of agencies for your year 3 child, who can develop their confidence and plug gaps in their learning through a variety of ways. For 11+, you might go for a non teacher who has lots of 11+ experience if there are no specific areas of weakness.

@mugglewump thank you, that’s good to know.

Depending on exactly where you are based, I know of an amazing 11+ English tutor, who is very reasonable. She massively helped my son prep for his 11+ assessments. I’ll DM you her details, if helpful

I'm in SE London and a qualified dyslexia specialist teacher - £60 an hour for 1:1. If you are looking for a tutor always check qualifications.

I have reported both your posts tutor firm – you are not supposed to advertise on threads like this

Agree with all of the advice above. Always happy to recommend our amazing tutor, she’s been great for my kids. Feel free to send me a DM if you are still looking (we are also SW London).

Hello, could you please DM the contact details. Appreciate your help on this one.
