Tutoring in the UK ranges from £15 all the way up to £80/hour (and even higher). The cost depends on a few factors i.e. the tutor’s experience, their education, and the level of the subject being taught.

How does tutoring help?

One-to-one tuition is one of the most effective forms of learning. In lessons, students can ask their tutor any questions they have without getting embarrassed, as they might at school. All lessons get tailored exactly to their needs, weak spots and favourite areas. Just a few lessons can lead to a boost in the student’s confidence as well as their grades.

Why is tutoring important?

Tutoring gives kids the chance to learn at their own pace - whether that’s a notch down from at school or a bit faster. The extra help and attention from one-to-one learning gives the student a confidence boost too. So if they’re unsure of something in class, they’re more likely to put their hand up to ask. By filling in learning gaps and making them more confident, students are given the chance to get their best possible grades when exams come around.

We had a tutor from Mytutor called Alejandro who was amazing for my daughter. He gave her such great advice and lots of confidence before her IB exam. I must say it was money well spent as he always messaged and she knew she could count on him for support and knowledge. I would definitely recommend him as a kind, helpful and very intelligent tutor. He definitely knew his sciences very well. Thanks Alejandro you are a star.

My son aged 13 is really enjoying his one to one lessons with phoebe, I was a bit apprehensive about doing lessons online but this has been amazing for him and he prefers to learn this way. I would definitely recommend this way of learning

I was a little concerned at first as it was online tutoring but it works brilliantly. Love it and very easy to use. Couldn`t recommend mytutor enough

MyTutor.com has been invaluable for my son. The platform is brilliantly designed, the tutors (from what we've experienced) are excellent, and being able to play the session back means each hour becomes a valuable resource for the future. Highly recommended.

It is a really good resource. You can find a tutor quickly and proceed to a lesson in no time at all. Wish there were pre U chemistry tutors.

My son was falling behind in A level Biology before his end of year tests. I felt I needed to help him as he was getting stressed and anxious so I looked into tutoring. I saw an add for MyTutor and after a very friendly and helpful telephone conversation I booked a chat with a tutor. We were matched with a young man who was studying Biomedics at university and the initial conversation with my son, who was slightly reluctant, went so well that we began booking lessons. It was the best thing I could have done at short notice and with not having pots of money. The tutor was friendly, reliable and professional and quickly built a rapport with my son and helped him with everything he struggled with each week. I will be booking more lessons next year to make sure he stays on top of things. They are so easy to book as the website is excellent and the lessons worked very well online using an iPad. I am very pleased with the whole thing and glad that I gave it a try. I would recommend it to anyone.

I booked MyTutor for my daughter who is in primary school. So far she is enjoying the experience, with her lovely and patient tutor. The MyTutor platform is also easy to use - in booking the session, as well during the session. Would recommend MyTutor :)

I contacted MyTutor on a sunday evening and by 9.30 on Monday morning I had been called, a meeting set up with a Tutor on line and a provisional session booked - all within 24 hours. I needed a couple of sessions for my son to restore his confidence before a GCSE exam. Rachel was really good with him - helped explain a lot of things and he definitely felt a lot better. Results in August will tell! This is a great accessible service and I would use them again.

Very pleased with Oliver the tutor. He was always prompt. He also ensured that he checked the topic area of maths prior to the next session. I would recommend MyTutor to others.

I needed urgent pre-exam law tutoring for my daughter Zarah who was in a state of panic and not well prepared. Adam responded quickly and made himself available whenever she needed him. I was in the same room on one of her sessions and found it so interesting, that I quite fancied doing A-level law myself. He was relaxed, clear and also kept trying to give her confidence. I can totally recommend Adam - thank you

My experience both with the company and my tutor were amazing!! The company and my tutor Isaac could not have been more helpful or attentive. She would explain stuff in different ways until she was completely satisfied you would know the material for the test. If you need a tutor; this is the company and the girl to use!
