Key findings
- €25/hour is the going rate. Across all subjects the median total price students pay is €25, and half of all listings sit between €20 and €31 per hour, fees included.
- STEM and specialist subjects cost more. Chemistry, Statistics, French, Spanish, Geography and Programming carry a median of €28–€30/hour, a modest premium over the €25 baseline seen in Mathematics, English and Physics.
- The biggest subjects are the most competitive. Mathematics (273 listings) and English (235) have the widest supply and the lowest entry-level pricing (P25 of €20 and €17 respectively), giving families more budget options.
- Rates vary by country. Tutors in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Germany post the highest medians (€30/hour), while France and Poland sit at the €25 baseline, but online delivery means families can hire across borders at the best price.
- Online keeps prices accessible. Without travel time or room hire, online rates stay well below the €30–€50/hour often quoted for in-person private tuition.
Methodology & reuse
Rates are derived from active, publicly listed tutor advertisements on iTutorOnline as of June 2026. Each advertisement is tagged with one or more subjects; a listing contributes to every subject it is tagged with. We report the median and interquartile range rather than the mean, so a small number of premium listings does not distort the typical figure. Listings below €1 or above €200/hour were excluded as outliers. Reported figures are the total price paid by students: each tutor's advertised rate plus iTutorOnline's flat €5/hour service fee, so the numbers reflect real out-the-door cost rather than the pre-fee listing rate.
