What Does Tutoring Actually Cost?
We've done the maths so you don't have to. Here's what every major tutoring option costs — and what you actually get for your money.
Why families look for an alternative
The obstacles parents face every week.
Private tutoring is out of reach for most
The Sutton Trust reports that 41% of students from wealthier families receive private tutoring, versus just 14% from disadvantaged backgrounds. At 30-60 per hour, it's a luxury. Two sessions a week for one year costs 3,000-6,000 per subject. That's a family holiday. That's a term of university accommodation. The education gap between those who can afford tutoring and those who can't is widening — and price is the barrier.
Monthly services lock you into high costs
Kumon charges 100-150 per month per subject. Chegg Study costs 15-20 per month but is designed for university students, not school kids. Tutoring agencies charge a booking fee on top of hourly rates. These costs are designed to extract maximum value from parents who are desperate for their child to succeed. EduBoost is 19/month for everything — because we think education support should be accessible, not profitable at your expense.
Free options have serious limitations
Khan Academy is free and genuinely excellent — but it's primarily video-based, uses the US curriculum, and lacks the interactive AI tutoring element. BBC Bitesize is UK-focused but passive. YouTube is a lottery of quality. Free tools are a great supplement, but none of them provide the personalised, adaptive, one-to-one support that actually moves grades. EduBoost fills that gap for less than the price of two coffees a month.
