How Much Does a Maths Tutor Cost?
£60–£80 per hour for 1-to-1, and £40 per student per hour in a group of five or six. That is the whole answer, and the rest of this page explains how it compares.
A maths tutor with Math Wizard costs £60 to £80 per hour for one-to-one lessons, or £40 per student per hour in a group of five or six. The first lesson is half price, the rate is identical online and in person, and it does not change by city. Across the wider UK market rates run from roughly £15 per hour on open marketplaces up to around £70 for experienced subject specialists.

Most UK tutoring agencies quote you privately. Ours are above.
Who teaches your lessons
A maths specialist – someone who teaches maths and no other subject, works from the same worksheets you can read on this site, and follows the same method with every student.
You are told exactly who your tutor is before the first lesson, never after. That lesson is half price, with no contract, so if the match is not right you have lost one half-price hour and nothing else.

Why We Cost More, Honestly
A marketplace sells access, we sell a course. On a marketplace you are buying an hour of someone’s time and hoping the match works. Here the lessons follow a documented method, with a worksheet library behind them and a record of what has been covered.
Maths, and only maths. No tutor here also teaches chemistry on Tuesdays. That is what makes it possible to know which specific step a student keeps getting wrong, rather than only whether the answer is right.
Your child’s actual qualification. National 5 and Higher for Scotland, CCEA for Northern Ireland, WJEC Eduqas for Wales, and the right one of AQA, Edexcel or OCR in England. Cheaper national services often teach one syllabus to everyone.
And if price is the deciding factor. The marketplaces are genuinely cheaper, and for a student who mainly needs someone to keep them company through homework they may well be enough. We would rather say that than take a booking that was never going to work.
Cheaper than either: try one lesson at half price
You cannot judge teaching from a price list. The first lesson is 50% off, with no contract and no obligation afterwards - which is a much better test than any table on this page.
Trial lessons are 50% off the normal rate.
