Is getting a tutor worth it?

Hi, no. I had a separate tutor for each subject. Maths tutor was £25 an hour. Economics tutor was £26 an hour, but then charged a couple of quid for travelling to my house. Ended up giving £30. Was ridiculous giving £60, then getting like £1/2 in change back lol.

I wouldnt recommend having 2 hours for each subject every week. Firstly cos it is expensive, secondly, concentration levels (for me anyway) dropped after 90 mins.

I would recommend doing 1-2 hours though in a build up to an exam, definately helps.

Wow. Don't think I can afford that...I've got like £75 a week I could spend.
Exam time would be expensive :P

Woah, that is a fair amount.

What you could do is experiment on how much tuition you have per week, to see which benefits you the most.

Then if you don't need to spend all the £75, you could save it, then use the money from that for the tuition during exam times?

Food for thought there.

I had a tutor for a few weeks and it helped somewhat, after a while I didn't need a tutor because I realised the problem lied with my own learning techniques! So once that was sorted I was fine

Yeah, maybe.
3 hours - £60
Save £15 x16 weeks until Jan.

Extra 3 hours a week at exam time.

Good plan, thanks :P

What were your issues (just curious)?

Any ideas where to find a decent tutor?

Finding a good one is the difficult part, I happened to know mine (he taught my sister when she was doing her A-Levels 15 years ago) so maybe just ask around, like ask your teachers if any of their friends want to do it, or something like that.
