Personal Tutors

As tutors on our register work on a self-employed basis they are free to agree the actual lesson fee with the client. However, in order to give guidance to both parties, the tables below show the rates recommended by the Agency. When establishing the precise fee, the main consideration is where the tuition will take place (i.e. the pupil's home or the tutor's) and the distance between them.

The total fee per hour paid by the client is obtained by adding the Agency commission, which is GBP 4.85 per hour in region A and GBP 4.65 in Region B, to the rates shown in the tables. The address of the student determines whether Region A or Region B rates apply.

Tutors receive the total fee per hour from the pupil, usually at the end of each lesson, and forward the Agency Commission at the end of each calendar month for any lessons supplied during the month.
