One-to-One Tuition

What is one-to-one tuition?

One-to-one tuition is where a tutor works only with one child at a time. This one-to-one support is sometimes given in school when a child requires additional help. Often this is given during extended school hours or in holiday clubs in school.

Parents often prefer that their child receive one-to-one tuition as they feel their child will progress more quickly than group tuition.

How effective is one-to-one tuition?

There is evidence to suggest that one-to-one tuition can be effective over short periods of time.

Maximum Impact has been shown when delivering regular sessions of around 30 minutes three to five times a week over approximately 12 weeks. However, this has been shown to be most effective when linked with normal teaching/tutoring sessions.

What are the costs?

The cost of one-to-one tuition can vary greatly depending on a tutor’s ability, experience, professionalism and location. One-to-one sessions with one of our tutors range from £42 to £48 per hour. Two-to-one sessions are £32 per hour per child.

How can I decide if this is right for my child?

There are several things to consider before deciding on one-to-one tuition.

There is some evidence that tuition in small groups delivers similar benefits to one-to-one tuition at a lower cost.
