What £11 a class
actually buys

Everything below is true of every ClassArc class, on every plan, at every price point.

Lesson format
Live, one to one
One teacher and one student. Never a small group, and never a recorded lesson to work through alone.
Lesson length
A full 55 minutes
Not 45 minutes described as an hour. The clock starts when the class starts.
Your teacher
The same one each week
Not a marketplace where you rebook whoever is free. If the match is not right, we will change it.
Where it happens
Our own classroom
A shared interactive worksheet you both write on, plus a whiteboard, in a browser. Not a video call with a PDF.
Between classes
Homework, set and marked
Matched to that day's class and reviewed at the start of the next one. No separate materials fee.
For you
A termly parent meeting
Plus WhatsApp reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before every class, in UK time.

What UK tutoring
normally costs

Published rate guides put online maths tuition in the UK at roughly £15 to £40 an hour, with private maths tutors more often quoted between £25 and £60, and in-person secondary tuition higher again. Those are advertised ranges collected from public rate guides in August 2026, not a survey we ran, and London is usually quoted above the national figure.

ClassArc is £11 to £16 for a 55-minute one-to-one class, depending on the year group and the length of the plan. We are showing you that comparison because it is the question you came here with, not as a claim to be the least expensive tutor in the country, which is not something anyone can actually verify.

What we would say is this: the number that matters is not the one you pay in September. It is whether you are still paying it in June, because the tutoring that changes a grade is the tutoring that lasts.

£1116

per 55-minute one-to-one class at ClassArc, depending on year group and plan length.

Affordable does not mean
a smaller lesson

The usual way to make tutoring cheaper is to give each child less of it — put four students in a class, shorten the lesson, hand out the same worksheet to everybody, or replace the teacher with a video.

We did none of those. The class is one-to-one, it is the full 55 minutes, the worksheets are built for your child's actual gaps, and there is a live teacher on the other side of it. What we have instead is a small team, no offices, no sales staff, and software we wrote ourselves rather than licensed.

That is the whole explanation. It is not a discount, an introductory rate, or a price that goes up after three months.

Cheaper by teaching more children at once is a different product. We wanted the same product at a price a family could keep paying.

How the price works

A good fit if you
are looking for

ClassArc is not right for everybody, and the FAQ below says plainly who it is not for. These are the families it does suit.

Weekly support, not a rescue

Regular one-to-one time over a term or a year, so a teacher can see how your child thinks and build on it — rather than four sessions before an exam.

A child who has gone quiet in maths

One-to-one is the only setting where a child who has stopped putting their hand up in a class of thirty has nowhere to hide, and nothing to be embarrassed about.

A gap you cannot locate

A Year 9 student stuck on algebra often has a Year 6 fractions problem underneath. The free first class is spent finding which one it is.

GCSE, with time to use it

Two years of steady work with one teacher who knows the specification, the tier and the two topics costing the marks.

A price you can plan around

A fixed per-class price with no joining fee and no materials fee, so the monthly figure is one you can decide about once rather than every term.

Proof before payment

A full free lesson before any card is entered, so you are judging the actual teaching rather than a description of it.

UK maths we support, Year 1 to GCSE

We follow the National Curriculum your child's school is teaching, and we ask which year group and exam board before the first class.

How the free first class works

There is no card, no deposit and no obligation. It is a real 55-minute lesson, and most families decide from it.

You are being asked to judge a teacher. That is very hard from a description and quite easy from one lesson.

Why we do it this way
i
📝

Tell us the year group

The form at the bottom of this page. Year group, exam board if they are on GCSE, and a time that suits — nothing else.

ii
💬

We confirm within a day

By email and WhatsApp, in UK time, with the class time and a link. No card is requested at this stage or any stage before you decide.

iii
🎓

A full 55-minute lesson

A real class in the real classroom. The teacher spends it finding where your child actually is, not selling you a plan.

iv

Then you decide

Pick a plan or do not. If the teacher was not the right match, we will arrange a second free class with someone else.

Before you decide

Two pages worth reading if you want the detail behind the price.

How much does an online maths tutor cost in the UK?
Published rate guides commonly put online maths tuition at £15–40 an hour, and private maths tutors more often at £25–60, with London quoted higher (figures collected from public rate guides in August 2026). ClassArc is £11–16 for a full 55-minute one-to-one class, depending on the year group and how long a plan you choose.
How much does a GCSE maths tutor cost at ClassArc?
GCSE sits in our Years 9–11 band: £16 a class to try on the 8-class plan, £15 on 24 classes, and £14 a class on the longest plan. Every one is 55 minutes, one-to-one, with the same teacher, and past-paper work is included rather than charged as an extra.
Is ClassArc really one-to-one?
Yes, always. One teacher and one student for the full class, on every plan and at every price. We do not run group classes at a lower rate per child.
How long is each lesson?
55 minutes. Not 45 minutes described as an hour — the five-minute gap is there so a teacher finishing one class is ready for the next one.
Will my child have the same teacher every week?
Yes. That is deliberate: it means nobody spends the first ten minutes re-establishing what happened last time, and the teacher who spotted a gap in October is the one closing it in November. If the teacher was not the right match, we will arrange a second free class with someone else, at no cost.
Can we try a lesson before paying?
Yes. The first class is free, lasts the full 55 minutes, and needs no card to book. It is a real lesson used to find where your child is, not a consultation.
Do I have to commit to a long plan?
No. Plans are blocks of 8, 24 or ~48 classes, paid in advance, and the per-class price falls as the block gets longer. You can stop at any point and we refund whatever class balance is left, usually within 7 working days. There is no notice period and no minimum term.
Are there any other fees?
No. The per-class price covers the live class, the worksheets, weekly homework, the termly parent meeting and free rescheduling. There is no joining fee and no materials fee.
Can ClassArc help with Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 maths?
Yes — Key Stage 1 through Key Stage 3 sits in our Years 1–8 band, from £11 a class. That covers times tables and fractions through to ratio, proportion and introductory algebra, following the National Curriculum your child's school is using.
Which exam boards do you cover for GCSE?
AQA, Edexcel and OCR, at both Foundation and Higher tier. We ask which board and tier before the first class, because the same mathematics is examined differently across them.
Why is ClassArc more affordable than a local tutor?
Our teachers are based in India and teach online, so there is no travel, no premises and no agency margin, and we built the classroom software ourselves rather than licensing it. The lesson itself is not reduced — it is one-to-one, 55 minutes, with a teacher who prepares for your child specifically.
Who is ClassArc not the right fit for?
Families who want small-group classes at a lower price per child, an on-demand homework answering service rather than scheduled teaching, a different tutor each week from a marketplace, or recorded lessons to work through alone. We are also the wrong choice a fortnight before a paper, when there is no time left to fix what is missing underneath.
