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). A further 10% discount (to £72 and £63 respectively) is available if a block of ten tutorials is agreed and paid for in advance. If more than one tutorial is taken per week, or if you undertake a complete GCSE/IGCSE or A-level course then further discounts can be discussed. Please note that if you elect for the higher 'Pay As You Go' rate, invoiced monthly in arrears, some cancellations and rearrangements from the agreed dates may be permitted at more than 24 hours' notice, within reason, without penalty. However, if you elect for ten sessions 'Payment in Advance' then no rearrangements from the schedule agreed in advance is permitted. Missed lessons will not be made up or refunded under any circumstances. Lateness of more than ten minutes for a tutorial will be regarded as a cancellation. If you elect for 'Pay As You Go' with payment a month in arrears then I expect payment of my invoice within 48 hours of receipt. Any payment later than this will result in automatically being moved onto the ten sessions 'payment in advance' tariff without benefit of the 10% discount 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, but this can be discussed on a case-by-case basis if you arrange the group
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.
