How much does an Oxbridge preparation tutor cost in the UK?

Oxbridge preparation tutors in the UK typically charge between £50 and £120 per hour. This is among the highest-priced tutoring in the country, reflecting both the specialist knowledge required and the very high stakes of the outcome. Tutors who are Oxford or Cambridge graduates, who have been through the specific interview process for the relevant subject, and who have a strong track record of successful placements command the highest rates.

As a rough guide:

• Subject admissions test preparation (MAT, STEP, PAT, LNAT, TSA): £50–£90/hr
• Interview coaching (mock interview + feedback): £60–£100+/hr
• Personal statement support: £50–£80 per session
• Academic subject deepening (going beyond A-Level): £50–£90/hr

Most Oxbridge applicants work with a tutor for 8–16 hours in total across different preparation areas. Some focus intensively on the admissions test (particularly MAT and STEP, which require months of preparation). Others prioritise mock interviews in the weeks before December.
