Committed to cost effectiveness

Pro-rata fees

We are happy to alter the duration of lessons and, therefore, the amount we charge. For example, if a 45-minute lesson is more suitable for your child, you will be invoiced for three-quarters of our hourly rate; if you require a 90-minute lesson, the fee will be one and a half times of the same.

Our commitment to pro rata charging is another feature that sets us apart from other agencies. Many charge registration fees and round up costs for partial lessons to the next hour (e.g charging a two-hour fee for a 90-minute lesson). With Even Better If, not only is there no registration fee; you also only pay for the actual amount of teaching time received.

Our proof-reading and redrafting services are competitively priced, with different rates for different levels of input. Should you need varying degrees of intervention, our chapter-by-chapter charges, and willingness to read as much of your documents as you choose, minimise overall costs.

Small-group tuition

Should your child’s needs overlap significantly with those of any other tutees in the same key stage and with comparable needs, we will offer you the option of small-group tuition (online only) at a lower cost than its one-to-one counterpart. Please note that we will only suggest this if, in our professional judgement, it will not jeopardise your child’s progress.

Helping you to help others

At Even Better If, we are passionate about extending the reach of our services. To this end, a significant percentage of every full-price fee goes into a dedicated fund that subsidises tuition for students from verifiably low-income families.

Where small-group tuition is feasible, our primary concern is to match students who are academically compatible, regardless of background. As a result, your child may have the opportunity to work remotely with students outside their usual social circle.

We also encourage our tutees to participate in sponsored activities, the proceeds of which are donated to education charities working with less-privileged students in the UK and overseas.
