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. No agency fees are added.

Does TutorLab charge parents fees?

No. TutorLab is free for parents. You browse tutor profiles, send enquiries and agree terms directly with the tutor. TutorLab does not add an agency fee or take commission from sessions.

Are tutors on TutorLab verified?

Tutors on TutorLab can earn checked badges: ID verified (identity confirmed via Stripe's verification or an ID check by TutorLab), verified qualification badges (certificate checked by TutorLab) and Enhanced DBS checked (certificate checked by TutorLab). Reviews only come from parents who booked and paid through TutorLab. Each check is explained at tutorlab.uk/trust, and we still recommend asking any tutor about their DBS status directly.
