Frequently asked questions

How much do private tutors in Edinburgh charge?

Private tutors in Edinburgh typically charge £25–£65 per hour depending on subject, experience and whether sessions are in-person or online. GCSE tutors tend to sit in the £30–£50 range, A-Level specialists usually charge £40–£65. On TutorLab, tutors set their own rates and you see them before making contact.

Should I choose an in-person or online tutor in Edinburgh?

Both work well. In-person tutoring suits younger children or students who prefer face-to-face engagement. Online sessions are more flexible, open up a wider range of specialists, and are just as effective for most subjects. Many Edinburgh families now use online tutors even when local options exist.

How do I find a reliable tutor in Edinburgh?

The most reliable approach is a directory where tutors have published their own profiles with their qualifications, experience and rates. TutorLab lists verified tutors in Edinburgh — you can browse, compare and message directly without agency fees or commission.

How many sessions per week does my child need?

Once a week is the most common arrangement for ongoing support. Families typically increase to twice weekly in the run-up to mock exams. Even a focused block of 4–6 sessions ahead of exams can make a meaningful difference to grades.
