Prices by level up to secondary school
Private maths lessons offer tailored support, perfectly suited to the needs of each student.
Whether it's for laying essential foundations, reinforcing existing knowledge, or preparing for key exams like GCSEs, they guarantee focused and effective learning.
Here's an overview of prices by level to guide your choice.
Average rates for primary school students: laying essential foundations
For primary school students, private lessons help them learn the basics: operations, fractions, and mathematical logic.
On Yoojo, the average rate observed is:
With personalised support, students can progress at their own pace and gain confidence in the subject.
Rates for secondary school students: overcoming the first hurdles
In secondary school, it’s a pivotal stage: for some, everything clicks, but for others, it's more complicated, and maths often proves to be a stumbling block.
I often see students struggling with concepts like Pythagoras, Thales, or other tricky ideas.
Private lessons help bridge the gaps, deepen understanding, and improve practical application of concepts.
For secondary school students, the average rate on Yoojo is:
To illustrate these figures and provide concrete examples, here are some lessons completed via Yoojo. I’m revealing all the details:

Hanane posted an ad on Yoojo to help her son, who is in Year 7, get ahead in his maths curriculum.
She wanted a tutor who could provide regular support to reinforce her child's knowledge and help develop an effective study method.
Thanks to Yoojo, Hanane received two offers perfectly suited to her needs: tutors available several times a week, with the right experience to guide a Year 7 student.

Christine, Alyssa’s mother, who is in Year 9, posted an ad on Yoojo to find maths help.

To be specific, Christinementioned the exact topic of the test and the desired duration: one hour of tutoring on Sunday, November 17 at 12:30 PM.
She finally chose Hind, a dynamic and methodical teacher who provided Alyssa with a clear and personalised approach.
This session helped Alyssa better understand the Pythagorean Theorem and gain confidence for her exam.
Costs for Year 12/13: Preparing for exams and anticipating the future
For Year 12 and Year 13 students, private lessons prepare them for A-levels by tackling complex problems and advanced concepts.

On Yoojo, the average rate for regular follow-up is:
Don’t wait for gaps to form. Support at the first signs of difficulty can prevent bigger blockages in the future.
The price difference for online or in-home maths tutoring
I know you are more familiar than anyone with your needs or what your child would prefer.
Choosing between online or in-home lessons depends on your preferences, budget, and specific needs.
Both formats have their advantages, and I am here to help you find the one that suits you best.
Advantages and rates of online lessons: an economical and flexible solution
On Yoojo, the average rates for online maths lessons are:
Online lessons are often more affordable than in-home sessions.
Moreover, students have access to a wide range of qualified tutors, regardless of their location.
In-home lesson prices: for personalised learning at home
In-home lessons provide a more interactive setting and allow for learning that is fully adapted to the student’s needs.
With a tutor present, interactions are more dynamic and direct.
On Yoojo, the average rates for in-home maths lessons are:
In-home lessons are generally more expensive, as the tutor must travel to your location, even if they live nearby.
To optimise your choice, consider alternating between online and in-home lessons if it fits your needs and budget. This combines the benefits of both formats!
Factors influencing the price of your private maths lessons
The price of private maths lessons can vary depending on several factors, including the tutor’s profile, session frequency, and the student’s specific needs. Here’s what affects the cost:
The tutor's experience and qualifications: student, teacher, or professional
The tutor's profile has a major impact on the price. I've put together a table to summarise:
| Teacher profile | Description | Average rate |
|---|---|---|
| Students | Perfect for primary and secondary levels | £12/hour |
| Certified teachers | Pedagogical expertise for more advanced levels | £22/hour |
| Specialised professionals | Ideal for advanced levels such as A-levels or university | £31/hour |
The frequency and duration of lessons: impact on total cost
Regular lessons often allow for negotiating advantageous packages, reducing the hourly rate.
For example:
A one-off hour may cost £18.5.
A package of 10 hours may reduce the rate to around £16/hour, offering significant savings in the long run.
Specific goals and the student's level
The student's level and objectives strongly influence the cost of the lessons.
To help clarify things, I've summarised everything in this table:
| Student level | Description | Average rate |
|---|---|---|
| Primary school students | Accessible lessons to establish essential foundations | £12/hour |
| Secondary school Students | Lessons to deepen and develop mathematical skills | £14/hour |
| Sixth form students | Preparation for A-levels or specific exams | £18/hour |
| Higher education students | Complex lessons requiring in-depth expertise | £25/hour |
Clearly define your objectives before choosing a tutor. This helps find the best value for money based on your needs!
