Frequently asked questions
Your questions answered
Donations go to the Community Education Fund. A one-hour lesson costs us about £15 in tutor pay: the Real Living Wage, with holiday pay. The Fund pays the difference between what a family pays and that cost.
Our running costs per lesson cover public liability insurance, DBS checks for tutors, web hosting, our secure database system, our online classroom, domain and email access, plus a 10 percent buffer for savings and emergencies.
Our standard price is £25 an hour. Families with a child in Year 7 or above can apply to the Community Education Fund, and a published rule sets their price from £5 to £25. The Fund pays the difference between the family’s price and the £15 a lesson costs us.

Give to the Community Education Fund
A young person’s education should never be limited by what they can afford, who they know, or where they’re from, and it should be delivered safely, fairly, and transparently, because in this sector, none of that is guaranteed by price. Your gift helps a family pay less for lessons.
