My Headline Rate is £80 per hour for tutorials before 11 am and after 3 pm weekdays and all weekend. This is discounted to £70 per hour for tutorials between 11 am and 3 pm weekdays UK time (ie the usual UK school day). If more than one tutorial is taken per week, or if you undertake a complete GCSE/IGCSE or A-level course, then discounts can be discussed. 24 hours' notice of absence is requested or the lesson may be charged as usual. Lateness of more than ten minutes for a tutorial may be regarded as an unscheduled cancellation and charged in full without the lesson being delivered. An excessive number of absences may result in being moved automatically onto monthly payment in advance' with no refunds given for absences not agreed at the beginning of the charging period. I request payment of my invoice within 48 hours of receipt by e-mail please. Persistent payment later than this will result in being moved automatically onto monthly payment in advance' and lessons will not be resumed until the fees have been paid. Fortnightly tutorials are charged at the higher hourly rate of £100 per hour and must be the last tutorial of the day. I do not normally teach groups.
I teach as normal over the Easter vacation and all bank holidays and half terms but take two weeks of vacation over Christmas. I may do some teaching over the summer vacation with established clients of good standing on request.
There are cheaper tutors, but few can offer 35 years of experience of the past papers and mark schemes. The many students and part-timers advertising as 'tutors' after Covid are likely to be much slower and less certain of what they are doing and may use terms inappropriate to the specific examination board you are taking. I am confident that I represent better value for money than cheaper tutors I offer a TOTALLY FREE initial consultation online (as long as you want) to check the connection and explain my system, and a further initial one-hour academic tutorial which is only paid for if you continue with me for regular tuition. If you don't like what you experience then there is nothing to pay. It usually takes me under 90 hours to teach an entire GCSE/IGCSE or A-level 'from scratch'and it can usually be done in a year with just three lessons per week for three ten-week 'terms'. The cost of this compares very favourably with traditional private schooling where A-levels are taken over two years.
