Pricing

Lessons In The Post provides carefully structured work programmes, set at a level which is relevant to your child’s needs.  Each weekly lesson gives you, the parent, around three hours of constructive teaching time with your child, with email support available from a tutor.  It is interesting to compare these prices with those of Private Tutors, who can charge from £30 to as high as £50 for just one hour with your child.

Over a year a guided course with Lessons In The Post will cost between £1,000 and £1,500 depending on the course you have whereas a tuition centre for two hours a week might cost £3000 and a Private Tutor for two hours a week might cost £5000.

Remember with a Private Tutor or tuition centre (where they are doing a professional job) there will still be work for parents to organise and often mark at home.

We now also provide a more streamlined, cost-effective alternative

We have recently evolved Lessons In The Post into a new streamlined service called Learning Street where the bespoke materials we use can be downloaded at home, produced as structured courses. While these courses do not provide tutor support, they are fully structured so you’ll always know what to when. It’s also a great solution for overseas students as the courses can be accessed at any time anywhere in the world!

Learning Street structured courses cost a one-off fee between £19 and £89 depending on the course you select. Prices are for the whole course, NOT per month. This provides a much more affordable alternative to the Lessons In The Post prices outlined below.
