Can you do it any cheaper

What are the costs of the lessons?

October 16, 20241 min read

Online lessons are £35/hour, if we come to your home, we ask £45/hr.

The first lesson is always free, as mentioned before, so if you are not happy, we can either find a plan b, or you can leave it there at no financial cost to yourself.

If you do a shorter or longer lesson, the cost would be calculated accordingly, e.g. a 30 minute online lesson would cost £17.50

We are occasionally asked if we can do it any cheaper. We do have a couple of A' level students that work with us, who although I can recommend with 100% confidence in their abilities, don't have the same experience so the cost is slightly lower.

However, the time and effort it takes to prepare individual lessons means that we can't lower the price any lower. We aren't the most expensive, and I recognise we're not the cheapest either, but we will always do our upmost to be the best.

Although I have covered it in another post, I will mention again here that I can either send you a monthly invoice around the 24th of the month, or you can pay each time you have a lesson. If you are paying by monthly invoice, please do ensure it is paid within 3 days so that we can pay the tutors on time. If they are consistently late, we may have to suspend the tutoring.

For the past 20+ years I have been a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that traditionally education has revolved around worksheets, textbooks, listening to teachers. But a grounding in early years and working with children who had a variety of learning styles from I learned that it is an individual activity that is personal to all of us. We don’t all learn in the same way. Our influences, our experiences, our capabilities all influence how we retain information.
But through it all, I believe that if we can make it enjoyable and engaging, they will want to participate. With participation comes practice which in turn boosts skill and confidence. With an increase in skill and confidence comes a willingness to have a go. This in turn leads to more practice which leads to a positive spiral of success.
The moral, we need to make learning fun, engaging, use a range of techniques.
