Private Tutoring Rates
Expert TUtors at Fair Prices
Private tutoring services usually fit into one of two categories:
- Inexpensive instruction from an unverified tutor with limited (or non-existent) credentials
- Expensive instruction from an expert tutor at a firm focused solely on affluent clients
MyGuru bridges the gap between these extremes by offering verified tutors for a variety of subjects and standardized tests without unnecessary overhead costs. Today's students have no shortage of study materials to choose from, so we work with each student using their textbook(s) or available test prep materials directly from the test makers rather than charging more money to develop our own proprietary content to then spend additional funds marketing that effort to then inflate the prices for our services. Not only is this more cost efficient, it's also best practice to ensure that MyGuru students are always studying the most relevant material for their academic or application goals.
Our dynamic virtual tutoring allows unique session and whiteboard recording functionality but requires no proprietary logins or technology, other than an internet connected computer or mobile device, to participate. We also use freely available shared physical spaces for our in-person tutoring rather than spending to maintain physical classrooms so that pass that overhead cost savings to our students without sacrificing tutor quality.
For each tier of instruction, we also provide discounts ranging from 5-20% off for investing in packages of hours in advance. That said, at MyGuru you are never "locked in" to a package of tutoring hours and can always begin with a free introductory videoconference consultation or as little as a single hour of paid tutoring. If time from any tutoring package is unused, refunds can be requested minus a 5% processing fee, and as long as 24-hour notice is provided of a request to cancel or reschedule we consider the time unused.

TUtoring Options to Fit your Needs and Budget
MyGuru offers four levels of private one-on-one tutoring to support all kinds of students and no matter what tier you choose, our uniquely dynamic live instruction experience is always the same.
- Standard Online Tutoring | Our most affordable option, and at a significantly lower cost than our most well-known individual tutoring competitors offer, MyGuru Standard Online tutoring is uniquely tailored to each student's needs by an instructor with thousands of hours of tutoring experience and provides a .pdf of each lesson's whiteboard notes by email within 24 hours of each session.
- Premium Online Tutoring | Our best value, MyGuru Premium Online tutoring provides full recording of every session to watch back for up to three months after the final lesson and a private read/write whiteboard where students can demonstrate tactics live in lesson and post questions or comments in between lessons to maintain contact with their instructor. Instructors will check the board at least once a day to respond as warranted.
- In-Person Tutoring | Provided that a local instructor is available, we still offer local tutoring. However, we generally recommend one of our online offers instead so that students can take advantage of the whiteboard and recording features that aren't available in person.
- Expert Edge Online Tutoring | Our best of the best tutors for each subject area or standardized test, such as MyGuru's Director of Instruction, Stefan Maisnier, are available for premium online instruction. Each of these experts will have more than a decade of instructional experience in their subject and an advanced degree as proof of their credentials.
Each of these tutoring options affords up-front discounts of 5 to 15% for purchasing 5, 12, or 24 hours in advance. We also offer small group tutoring for students who are studying together, charging 30% more per student for shared sessions. For each up-front offer we refund unused time minus a 5% processing fee, and as long as 24-hour notice is provided of a request to cancel or reschedule we consider the time unused.
