How much does a Chemistry tutor cost in the UK?

Private Chemistry tutors in the UK typically charge between £30 and £68 per hour, with A-Level Chemistry sitting at the higher end of the science tutoring market.

As a rough guide:

• GCSE Chemistry (Combined or Separate): £30–£55/hr
• A-Level Chemistry: £40–£68/hr

Chemistry is a specialist subject — particularly at A-Level — and the pool of highly qualified tutors is smaller than for Maths or English. Tutors with Chemistry degrees, medical backgrounds, or examining experience for AQA, Edexcel or OCR tend to charge towards the upper end.

Students aiming for Medicine, Dentistry or Pharmacy often invest in Chemistry tutoring from Year 12 onwards, and specialist tutors who understand those admissions pathways typically charge at the premium end. That said, very effective GCSE Chemistry tutors are available at competitive rates — particularly online, where geographical restrictions don't apply.

On TutorLab, Chemistry tutors set their own rates and publish them on their profiles. There are no agency fees on top of what you see.
