Online Tutors

How does online tutoring work?

Online tutoring takes place over video call, typically Zoom, Google Meet or a dedicated tutoring platform. Tutors share their screen, use interactive whiteboards and can annotate documents in real time. You get access to specialists across the whole UK rather than only tutors within driving distance.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?

For most students and subjects, yes. Research consistently shows online sessions produce learning gains comparable to in-person tutoring when the tutor is experienced and the student has a reliable connection and a quiet space. The main advantages are a wider choice of specialists, flexible scheduling and no travel time.

How much does an online tutor cost in the UK?

Online tutors in the UK typically charge £25–£65 per hour depending on the subject, level and the tutor's experience. Online rates are sometimes slightly lower than in-person because there are no travel costs. On TutorLab every tutor sets their own rate and displays it on their profile, with no agency fees or commission.

Are there any agency fees on TutorLab?

No. TutorLab is a directory, not an agency. You browse profiles, compare rates and contact tutors directly. There is no commission on sessions and no fee added on top of the tutor's hourly rate.
