Question 1

How do I find a private tutor in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Browse tutors by subject and location on TutorLab. Every tutor has a public profile with their rate, subjects, levels and a bio. Enquire directly with no agency fees.

Question 2

How much does a private tutor cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Most UK private tutors charge £30–£55/hr for GCSE and £45–£70/hr for A-Level. Primary tutoring runs £25–£45/hr. London rates are 15–25% higher than the national average.

Question 3

Is online or in-person tutoring better?

Accepted Answer

Both work well. Online tutoring gives access to a larger pool of specialists and is typically 10–20% cheaper. In-person suits younger children or those who find it harder to focus on a screen.

Question 4

Do I need to pay an agency fee to find a tutor?

Accepted Answer

Not on TutorLab. Tutors set their own rates and parents enquire directly, with no agency fee, no registration charge and no commission.

Question 5

How do I know if a tutor is good?

Accepted Answer

Read the bio carefully. A good tutor explains their approach, not just their qualifications. Look for specificity (exam board, grade targets, teaching method). Always do a trial session before committing to regular bookings.
