What Does Tutoring Actually Cost?

EduBoost Essential costs 19 per month for unlimited access across all subjects. A private tutor in the UK averages 35-50 per hour — meaning one month of EduBoost costs less than 20 minutes with a human tutor. Over a school year (10 months), that's 99 versus typically 3,000-5,000 for weekly sessions. You'd need to hire a tutor for about 12 minutes a month to match EduBoost's cost.

Kumon costs 100-150 per month per subject and uses repetitive worksheets — no AI, no adaptive learning, no conversation. It covers Maths and English only. EduBoost costs 19/month for every subject, with AI tutoring, voice chat, quizzes, spaced repetition, and gamification. Kumon has physical centres which some families prefer, but for pure value and breadth of support, EduBoost offers dramatically more for dramatically less.

Khan Academy is free and we'd recommend it to anyone. It's a brilliant resource. However, it's video-based (passive learning), follows the US curriculum (not aligned to UK specs), and doesn't offer personalised AI tutoring. Their paid service, Khanmigo, costs around 44 per year and offers AI chat — but it's still US-focused. EduBoost is built for UK students, aligned to AQA/Edexcel/OCR, and offers interactive, adaptive AI tutoring designed around the National Curriculum.

Unlimited AI tutoring sessions across all subjects. Quizzes and exercises with instant feedback. Revision sheets tailored to your child's weak spots. Voice chat with the AI tutor. Progress tracking dashboard for parents. Spaced repetition for long-term memory. Gamification system. Access from any device. That's everything most families need. There are no features locked behind a higher tier — 19 gets you the full platform.
