It really depends on what you are trying to achieve, but it’s very difficult for anyone to make good progress with any topic in less than 5 hours, total, and we don’t arrange tuition placements for anything less than that.
In 2023, we saw over 3,082 students complete 45,624 lesson hours. Our 2023 data collection revealed that with just 23 hours of tuition, students sitting on a 2:1 were able to improve to a 1st and one student even went from failing to a 1st in 138 hours. On average, 30 hours of our tutoring leads to an increase of 2 grade boundaries.
We usually recommend a 2-hour session to begin with, and many students stick with that length. Weekly or twice weekly sessions are usual, but this is always open to discussion with the tutor, and depending on the time limit we can always arrange sessions more or less frequently than that.
Part of the service our tutors provide is an initial free consultation. The tutor will be able to discuss your aims with you, and based on their experience with the topics, will be able to give you an estimate of the time needed. They can also help you to structure your study, in between sessions, to ensure that you are making good progress.
