Prices
Lessons run for 60 or 90 minutes, in person in London or online. Rates are not published: every enquiry gets an individual quote, because general one-to-one lessons, exam preparation, business English, and short intensive coaching for a specific event each need different preparation. Write with what you want to work on and you get a figure back.
How lessons are priced
There is no rate card on this site, by choice. Every enquiry gets an individual quote, because what a lesson costs depends on what you want to work on, how often you meet, and whether you meet in person or online. Write with those three things and you will get a figure back rather than a range.
Asking costs nothing and does not commit you to anything. Most enquiries get a reply within two working days.
What the price includes
- The lesson itself, for 60 or 90 minutes
- Preparation of material chosen for you, rather than the next unit of a course book
- Written work marked with an explanation of why something is wrong, not only a correction
- A first lesson that establishes what you can already do before anything is planned
How quoting works
Tell me what you want to be able to do in English and by when. That is usually enough to say what it will take and what it will cost.
Company groups are quoted separately, because the price depends on the number of people, how often you meet, and whether the sessions run during working hours.
Common questions
How much are English lessons for adults in London?
It depends on the kind of teaching. A general one-to-one lesson, exam preparation, business English and short coaching before a specific event are priced separately, because the preparation each needs is different. Write with what you want to work on and you will get a figure rather than a range.
How much do private English tutors charge in London?
Rates in London vary widely: marketplace tutors often sit around £20 to £25 an hour, independent teachers with their own practice higher, and language schools higher again because the fee carries their overheads. Ask for a quote rather than working from an average.
Are online lessons cheaper than lessons in person?
Usually, yes. An online lesson carries no travel, so it is normally priced below the same lesson in person in London. Tell me which you want and the quote will say so.
How much does presentation coaching cost?
Coaching before a specific event is quoted as a package rather than by the hour, because it is a short piece of work with a date attached rather than an open-ended arrangement. Tell me the date and what the event is.
Do you offer a free trial lesson?
No. The first lesson is a paid lesson, and it is mostly spent establishing what you can already do before anything is planned. You get a view of what the work will involve at the end of it.
