How much does online GCSE Computer Science tutoring cost?

Online GCSE Computer Science tutors in the UK typically charge between £28 and £50 per hour, usually slightly less than equivalent in-person tutoring since there are no travel costs to factor into the rate.

GCSE Computer Science suits the online format particularly well, since screen-sharing allows a tutor to review and debug a student's Python code in real time, often more clearly than looking over a shoulder at a laptop screen in person. The written theory component (algorithms, binary, networking, Boolean logic) is equally straightforward to teach through a shared digital whiteboard.

Because Computer Science is a genuinely specialist subject with a limited local tutor pool in many parts of the UK, online tutoring tends to widen access to stronger, more specialised tutors rather than being purely a cost-saving choice. A tutor who knows your child's exact exam board — including OCR's distinctive Reference Language pseudo-code, if relevant — is more valuable than a generalist coder without exam-specific knowledge.

On TutorLab, Computer Science tutors state their online availability and specific exam-board experience on their profiles alongside their rates.
