Pricing

What one-to-one mathematics tutoring costs

The honest answer is that it depends on what the student actually needs — and that is knowable only after someone has assessed them. So the first 40 minutes are free, the written plan is free, and the quote comes afterwards, against a real assessment rather than a guess.

No registration fee. No materials fee. No minimum contract.

The Model

How pricing actually works here

Learn with Tahira quotes each student individually after a free 40-minute diagnostic assessment, rather than publishing a single headline hourly rate. The quote reflects three things the assessment establishes: which parts of the syllabus are genuinely missing, how many sessions a week the written roadmap calls for, and how long the student is likely to need support.

A student two terms from an IGCSE paper with a specific algebra gap and a student rebuilding two years of foundations do not need the same amount of teaching, and pretending otherwise with one advertised rate would mean over-charging the first or under-serving the second. Quoting after the assessment is the only way to give a family a number that will still be true in three months.

What the quote covers is the six-stage method — Diagnose, Rebuild, Recognise, Write, Rehearse, Refine — weighted to whichever of the four causes is actually costing your child marks. A student losing marks to timing needs a different number of sessions from one rebuilding two years of algebra, which is the whole reason a single advertised rate would be dishonest.

You are never asked for card details on this website, and nothing on it takes a payment. Fees are agreed directly with Tahira after you have read the roadmap and decided you want to continue.

Costs Nothing

What you get before you pay anything

Every family starts the same way, and the whole of this stage is free.

A 40-minute diagnostic session

Live and one-to-one with Tahira. The student works through targeted problems while she watches how they approach them, not only whether the answer comes out right.

A written Mathematical Progression Roadmap

Delivered within 24 hours: the syllabus gaps found, the order they would be closed in, and realistic milestones. It is yours to keep whether or not you book lessons.

A straight answer about fit

Including when the answer is that the student does not need paid tutoring, or needs something this practice does not offer. That is said plainly rather than sold around.

Included

What the lesson fee covers

There are no add-ons. Everything below is part of the fee, not extra to it.

A 60-minute live one-to-one lesson

Taught personally by Ansa Ameer Tahira, MPhil in Mathematics. No group classes and no assistant tutors.

Every session recorded

Saved to the student’s private vault so a method can be re-watched at exam time.

Targeted practice sets

Written for the specific gaps in the roadmap, marked and reviewed at the start of the next lesson.

Worksheets and revision material

The full resource library, including past-paper practice by topic.

Fortnightly written progress reports

Sent to parents by WhatsApp or email, measured against the roadmap rather than a general impression.

Between-lesson questions

A stuck student can send a photo of the working and get an answer; this is not billed separately.

The Terms

Cancellation, rescheduling and stopping

Rescheduling or cancelling with 24 hours’ notice is free. The same 24-hour standard applies in the other direction: if a session has to be moved at short notice from this side, it is replaced at no charge.
Inside 24 hours, a missed session is normally counted as taken, because the slot was held for that student and cannot be given to anyone else.
A booked diagnostic can be cancelled at any time using the management link in your confirmation email, which releases the slot immediately.
There is no minimum term. Tutoring continues for as long as it is useful, and stopping needs no notice period or explanation.
No grade is guaranteed. Nobody honest can promise an examination result. What is promised is that the plan is real, the reporting is specific, and progress against it is visible.

The full terms are on the terms of service page.

Fee Questions

Pricing questions, answered

How much does mathematics tutoring with Learn with Tahira cost?

Learn with Tahira quotes each student individually after a free 40-minute diagnostic assessment, rather than publishing a single headline hourly rate. The quote is based on the gaps the assessment finds, how many sessions a week the written roadmap calls for, and how long the student needs support. The diagnostic itself is free and there is no obligation to continue after it.

Is the first session really free?

Yes. The 40-minute diagnostic assessment costs nothing, needs no card details, and comes with a written Mathematical Progression Roadmap delivered within 24 hours. You receive the roadmap whether or not you go on to book paid lessons.

Do you charge for the written learning plan?

No. The Mathematical Progression Roadmap produced after the diagnostic is included at no cost. It lists the syllabus gaps found, the order they would be closed in, and realistic milestones.

Are there registration fees, materials fees or minimum contracts?

No. There is no registration fee, no materials fee and no minimum term. Worksheets, practice sets, lesson recordings and the fortnightly written progress reports are all included in the lesson fee. Tutoring continues only for as long as it is useful.

How do I pay, and when?

Payment is arranged directly with Tahira after the diagnostic, once you have seen the roadmap and decided to continue. No payment is taken through this website and no card details are ever entered on it.

What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?

Sessions rescheduled or cancelled with at least 24 hours’ notice are not charged. Inside 24 hours the session is normally counted as taken, because the time has been reserved for that student. A booked diagnostic can be cancelled at any time using the link in your confirmation email.
