How much does a History tutor cost in Edinburgh?

Private History tutors in Edinburgh typically charge between £28 and £68 per hour, depending on the tutor's qualifications, experience and the level being taught.

As a rough guide for Edinburgh:

• GCSE History: £30–£55/hr
• A-Level History: £40–£68/hr

Tutors based in Edinburgh may charge at the higher end compared to national averages, particularly for in-person sessions where travel time and local cost of living factor into the rate. Online tutoring with a specialist anywhere in the UK is often 10–20% cheaper and equally effective — shared digital whiteboards replicate the in-person experience closely for academic subjects.

The most important factor in finding good value is matching the tutor's expertise to your specific need — a History specialist who knows your child's exam board and level will produce better results at any price than a cheaper generalist.
