Fig. 06 — What it costs
Our rates, in public.
Every rate we charge is on this page. You should not have to ring a studio and sit through a consultation to find out what an hour of tutoring costs — so here it is, along with what changes it and what doesn’t.
I. By tutor, not by subject
Three tiers
An hour of calculus and an hour of essay work cost the same. What moves the price is who is teaching it. These are not good, better and best — they are three different jobs, and the one your child needs depends on what you are trying to fix. Rates are per hour, online.
Junior
$125/ hour
Undergraduates a few years into tutoring, teaching within their own subject.
Right for
On-grade work: keeping up, filling the gaps left by a bad term, and getting to the point where homework stops being a fight. This is the right place for most students to start.
In this tier
- Leah Livin
- Alina Dydyk
Mid
$175/ hour
Graduates and specialists with a longer record, teaching through to advanced coursework.
Right for
Advanced and college-level material, or a student who is doing fine and wants to be doing well. Also the tier to ask for when the subject has moved past what a generalist can carry.

- Samantha Yershov
- Jared
Senior
$225/ hour
Certified teachers and postgraduates with many years in front of students.
Right for
When there is a date and a number attached — an exam to sit, a score to reach — or a student who has been stuck long enough that you want someone who has seen it before and knows where the points go.

Every session is online, one-to-one, and the rate is the same wherever your student is. There is no travel surcharge and no catchment area — a tutor in Miami teaching a student in Brooklyn costs exactly what this page says.
II. Monthly, not hourly
Memberships
Tutoring works on a rhythm, so we bill on one. A membership is a block of sessions a month at a lower rate than booking them one at a time — and it is the arrangement that actually moves a grade, because the work carries over week to week instead of restarting.
Four sessions
$600/ month
4 sessions · $150 each
One a week, the usual starting point.
Eight sessions
$1,150/ month
8 sessions · $143.75 each
Twice a week, or a single subject worked hard before an exam.
Memberships are arranged over the phone — .
III. Before you pay anything
The guarantee
A free diagnostic.
The first sitting is a free diagnostic — scored and read back to you section by section, with no obligation to book anything.
A good-fit promise.
If your first session isn't the right match, tell us and we'll pair you with another tutor at no charge.
We don’t give away free sessions. A free hour tells you almost nothing about whether a tutor is right for your child, and it is paid for somewhere — usually in the rate everyone else is charged.
Start with the diagnostic.
It costs nothing, and it is the only honest way to tell you what the work actually is.
