How much does a GCSE Maths tutor cost?

GCSE Maths tutors in the UK typically charge between £28 and £55 per hour. It is the most popular subject for private tuition in the UK, which means there is a wide range of tutors at different price points.

Key factors that affect the rate:

• Qualifications: tutors with Maths degrees or PGCE qualifications tend to charge more
• Exam-board knowledge: tutors who know AQA, Edexcel or OCR specifically and can target the exact mark scheme are more valuable
• Track record: tutors who can demonstrate consistent grade improvements often charge a premium
• Online vs in-person: online tutors are typically 10–20% cheaper due to no travel costs

For a student targeting grade 4–5, a solid GCSE Maths tutor at £30–£40/hr once a week is usually sufficient. For students pushing for grade 7–9 with a university application in mind, a more experienced specialist at £45–£55/hr is a worthwhile investment — the difference between a grade 6 and a grade 8 in Maths significantly affects sixth form and university options.
