Choosing your tutoring fee
You can choose your fee from our three bands and as a self-employed tutor, the choice is on which to pick is yours to make.
You can switch bands at any time and it’ll apply to any future bookings (when an existing customer buys a new plan after completing their current one, or you get a new customer).
The band you choose is not the price paid by customers, it’s your take-home earnings. You can find out more about your earnings and customer pricing here.
Each band is a range, and your precise earnings per lesson will depend on how many lessons the customer buys and the duration of the membership.
If you’re unsure which option to go for, here are some things to bear in mind…
Your experience
From what we’ve seen, customers are willing to pay more for a tutor with proven experience.
And that experience can come in many forms - maybe you’ve taught over 100 lessons with us with 5-star reviews, or maybe you can reference the impressive results of previous students you’ve helped. Consider what you can bring to the table when choosing your fee. And remember to include them in your pitch to new customers!
How many hours you want
If your schedule is wide open and you’re looking to pick up as many hours as possible to build up some experience, you might consider a lower band. Those bands are more affordable for families, so picking one means you'll appeal to a wider range of customers.

Why are there only 3 options for me to choose from?
Customers already have a lot to decide (which tutor to go with, how many lessons per week, how many months in total). Fewer bands make it easier for customers to choose a tutor for their low, medium or high budget. By helping customers make the choice, we’re bringing them one step closer to working with you.
Why are GCSE, A Level and University all paid the same?
Firstly, there’s already a lot for the customer to choose from. All levels will be paid at the same rate to simplify their decision-making process. The quicker they decide, the sooner they’ll become a paying customer with you.
Secondly, with this structure, you can earn more for GCSE lessons (which tends to be the most popular level booked). It’s fairer for our tutors. We know you put in a similar amount of time lesson planning regardless of level, and so your earnings should reflect that.
