Common questions from parents

How do I find a private tutor on TutorLab?

Browse the TutorLab directory by subject and location. Each tutor has a public profile showing their subjects, rates, experience and availability. You can send an enquiry directly, with no agency involved.

How much does a private tutor cost in the UK?

UK private tutor rates vary by subject and level. Primary tutors typically charge £20–£35/hr, GCSE tutors £30–£50/hr, and A-Level specialists £35–£65/hr. TutorLab tutors set their own rates, and all fees are shown on their profiles before you make contact. One all-in price are added.

Does TutorLab charge parents fees?

Browsing, enquiries and messaging are free. The price on a tutor's profile is the whole charge for a session — that is what you pay, with nothing added at checkout. It already includes TutorLab's service fee, and we never take a commission out of your tutor's earnings.

Are tutors on TutorLab verified?

TutorLab does not independently verify every tutor or run DBS checks. Some profiles show specific identity or qualification badges, and each badge is explained on the TutorLab trust page. Parents should discuss safeguarding requirements directly with the tutor and ask to see any DBS certificate before booking.
