How it works · Pricing
There is no one-size-fits-all programme. A student preparing for an A-Level exam needs something different from a university student working through an econometrics problem set. The consultation is used to diagnose the need, propose a plan and confirm the per-session rate before any paid session is booked.
The process
Free initial consultation, 30 minutes
A video call to understand where you are, what you're working towards, your exam board if relevant, and how you learn best. I ask diagnostic questions. At the end I propose a plan, topics, session frequency, likely duration. No charge. No commitment to continue.
Agree a plan and schedule sessions
If the consultation goes well and you would like to proceed, we agree the next session and likely focus. Sessions are booked per session. A regular weekly or fortnightly pattern is possible, but there are no upfront commitments.
Sessions via video call with shared whiteboard
Each session is conducted on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, your choice, with a shared digital whiteboard for working through mathematics, proofs, and code. This format is excellent for quantitative subjects. Sessions can be recorded if both parties agree.
Adjust at any point
There is no minimum commitment. Sessions are booked per session, so you can pause, change frequency or shift topics as your situation changes.
Choose your area
Rates are from £100/hour for A-Level, from £130/hour for TMUA & Oxbridge preparation, and from £100/hour for university & postgraduate work, with discounts for packages of sessions. The consultation is used to decide what kind of support is actually needed, and the exact rate is confirmed before any paid session is booked.
For A-Level Maths, Further Maths, A-Level Economics, TMUA and Oxbridge Economics preparation.
For economics, econometrics, statistics, finance, dissertation methods and postgraduate technical support.
Rates

University and postgraduate work varies widely in level and intensity, so the exact rate is confirmed at the free consultation once the module, topic, deadline and any software needs are clear.
Questions
No minimum. Some students book one session to get unstuck on a specific topic. Others arrange regular sessions. Sessions are per session, and there are no upfront commitments.
Small group sessions (2-3 students at the same level) can be arranged and are more cost-effective per student. Please mention this in the initial consultation and we can discuss whether the format would work for the material.
48 hours' notice is requested for cancellations. This allows sessions to be rescheduled rather than lost. Life gets in the way, this is handled pragmatically, not rigidly.
Bank transfer. A confirmation or invoice can be provided per session.
