What moves the price
- Tutor's experience — a well-known tutor in demand has less reason to lower the rate.
- Location of the sessions — a tutor who travels to your home charges for that time, while online lessons avoid it.
- Customised nature of the lessons — tailored learning plans and marked practice tests take tutor time beyond the session itself.
- Group or private sessions — a place in a small group tutoring class costs less per child than private lessons.
What families pay for Education not definable by level is down 16% over five years, largely because of subsidies (CSO Consumer Price Index, Education not definable by level, to 2025 December); what providers charge has not fallen in the same way. CSO CPM18

How to pay less
- Small group tutoring classes usually cost less per child than private sessions; you can ask the tutor if they run them.
- Starting tutoring early allows shorter, steadier sessions, which can cost less overall than intensive booking just before the exam.
- Doing practice papers at home and bringing the answers to the session lets the tutor spend paid time on weak spots.
- Parents going over the tutor's homework with the child between sessions can mean fewer paid hours are needed.
- Online tutoring sessions save the tutor travel time, so they can cost less per hour than lessons at your home.
Before you book
- A quiet and comfortable study space for sessions.
- Access to any relevant school materials or past exam papers.
- A list of specific areas or subjects where the child needs support.
- A calendar with important exam dates for planning purposes.
- You can ask the tutor about their teaching background and how much experience they have preparing children for this entrance exam in particular.
11+ Tutor cost: questions people ask
The cost of an 11+ tutor can vary based on their experience, qualifications, and the location of the sessions. Generally, more experienced tutors with a proven track record may charge higher rates.
Most tutoring sessions last between one to two hours, depending on the student's needs and the tutor's approach. Shorter sessions may be effective for younger students or those needing focused support.
While general tutors can provide valuable help, a specialist tutor with experience in the 11+ exam format may offer more targeted strategies and insights. They often understand the specific requirements of the exam better.
Same-day availability for 11+ tutors can be limited, as many tutors schedule their sessions in advance. It's advisable to book as early as possible to secure a convenient time.
Many tutors offer discounts for booking multiple sessions in advance. It’s worth asking the tutor about their pricing structure for bulk bookings to save on costs.
Out of scope topics may include advanced subjects not covered in the 11+ syllabus, such as high school-level physics or chemistry. Tutors usually focus on the core subjects relevant to the 11+ exam: English, Maths, and reasoning skills.
