What affects the price of a tutor
- Experience and results. Tutors with years of teaching and many good reviews usually charge more.
- Exam specialisation. Tutors who know WAEC, NECO, JAMB, IGCSE or the SAT in depth are in higher demand.
- Subject and level. Exam-year sciences, further maths and university-level subjects often cost more than primary lessons.
- Lesson length. Prices on this page are for one-hour lessons; shorter lessons cost less per lesson but more per minute.
- Online or at home. Home lessons include the tutor's travel, so they often cost more. Online lessons give you a much wider choice at every price.
How to pay less for good tutoring
- Use the free first lesson to compare two or three tutors before you pay.
- Choose a monthly package when the tutor offers one; it costs less per lesson than single lessons.
- Book one longer lesson a week rather than several short ones, and give the tutor past questions to work on.
- Use free practice first, such as our JAMB CBT practice and WAEC practice questions, so paid lessons focus on what you get wrong.
