Tutoring cost calculator in your currency

Monthly tutoring cost is lessons a week x 4 x the price of a lesson. A LiveTutor plan is $15 a lesson for every subject and level, billed monthly, with four lessons per weekly lesson: one lesson a week is $60 a month, two is $120 and five is $300. To compare with a local tutor, type the hourly rate you were quoted in your currency; the calculator multiplies it by the same number of lessons and shows the difference each month and over a year. Prices follow the currency picked at the top of the page, including AED, SAR, QAR, KWD, BHD and OMR.

How to compare fairly

Compare like with like. A quoted hourly rate is only comparable if the lesson is also one to one and 60 minutes; group classes and 45-minute sessions are different products. Check whether the quote includes travel time for a home visit, materials, and what happens if a lesson is cancelled.

Example: a local tutor quotes a rate per hour and your child needs two lessons a week. The calculator multiplies that rate by 8 lessons a month and sets it beside the two-lessons-a-week plan, $120 a month, so you can see the monthly and yearly difference in one place.

What the plan includes

  • A tutor matched to the subject and curriculum, normally within 24 hours.
  • Lessons in LiveTutor's own online classroom with video and a shared whiteboard.
  • A parent account showing lessons and progress.
  • A 7-day money-back guarantee: a full refund of the month within 7 days of paying and before the first paid lesson. Families can also switch tutor and keep paid lessons.

How many lessons a week

One lesson a week suits steady support in one subject. Two a week is a common choice for an exam year or a subject that has fallen behind, because there is time between lessons to practise but not enough to forget. Three or more usually makes sense only in the final weeks before exams or when two subjects need help. Start with the free trial lesson, then choose the plan once you have seen how the tutor works with your child.
