Typical jobs and what they go for

| GCSE science, one hour | £30 to £45 |
| A-level maths, one hour | £35 to £55 |
What changes the price for tutoring & lessons
- Level and subject. Primary maths is at the bottom of the range. A-level sciences, maths and exam board specialists sit at the top.
- Experience. A qualified teacher or current examiner charges more than a university student, and for exam years is often worth it.
- In person or online. Online lessons save the tutor travel, so they are often a little cheaper.
- Lesson length and booking pattern. An hour is standard. Weekly bookings over a term are usually cheaper than occasional sessions before an exam.
What is usually included
- The lesson and its preparation
- Worksheets and practice questions
- Brief feedback on progress
And what is usually not
- Textbooks, revision guides and music books
- Marking full mock papers outside the lesson, unless agreed
- Exam entry fees
- On-road driving lessons, which by law need a DVSA approved instructor
The one thing that saves the most money
Tell the tutor the exam board and share the latest school report before the first lesson. A tutor who knows the gaps can start on them straight away, instead of using two paid hours to find them.

What makes tutoring more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
