In-Person vs Online Tutoring — Price Comparison
Online tutoring is typically 20–40% cheaper than in-person for equivalent quality. Post-COVID, the quality of online tutoring platforms (shared whiteboards, video) has improved dramatically. For most subjects, online tutoring is now as effective as in-person.
💡 Pro Tip: Book regular weekly sessions rather than irregular one-offs. Most tutors offer a slight discount for weekly commitments and the regularity is significantly more effective educationally.
