Biology Tutor cost: questions people ask
Usually £35–£60, with about £37 the average. Graduates online cost least; examiners and medicine-focused specialists cost most.
A term of weekly sessions often makes a clear difference, especially with exam technique for long answers.
The content overlaps, but exam boards differ: GCSE and A-level in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher in Scotland with the SQA.
Some can advise on admissions tests and interviews too, though that is often a separate service with its own price.
Preparation for medical admissions tests, biology textbooks and any lab equipment are paid for separately. Ask the tutor what their hourly fee covers.
