How much does a private tutor cost in the UK?

Most UK private tutors charge £30–£55/hr for GCSE and £45–£70/hr for A-Level. Primary tutoring typically runs £25–£45/hr. London rates are 15–25% higher than the national average. Tutors on TutorLab set and keep their own rate — no agency markup.

Is online or in-person tutoring better?

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. Many families who start online prefer it.

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

Not on TutorLab. Tutors list their profiles for free and set their own rates. Parents browse and enquire directly — there is no agency fee, no registration charge, and no commission added to the tutor's rate.

How do I know if a tutor is good?

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.
