Maths tutoring: price per hour in 2026, monthly cost and Matura preparation

indekscen.pl editorial team · published 30 September 2026 · prices according to the 5 October 2026 index

In 2026, maths tutoring most commonly costs 72 PLN/h for a 60-minute individual lesson, with half of all offers falling within the 71 ‑ 77 PLN/h range. The cheapest lessons start at 55 PLN/h, while the most expensive, usually with experienced teachers or through subscription platforms, reach 109 PLN/h.

Maths is the subject for which students most often take private lessons: from primary school and the eighth-grade exam to the compulsory Matura and the first year of university. The offers look similar, but rates can vary twofold. Below, we compare prices from public price lists and education guides, calculate the cost per month and school year, and explain when paying a higher rate makes sense.

How much does one hour of maths tutoring cost?

According to 6 sources collected by indekscen.pl, an hour of maths tutoring most commonly costs 72 PLN/h, with half of all rates falling within the 71 ‑ 77 PLN/h range. The lowest prices start at 55 PLN/h, while the highest reach 109 PLN/h.

The typical price range is narrow, which means that the maths tutoring market is fairly consistent: most teachers charge similar rates, with differences resulting from the level taught and their experience. The full comparison, including quotations from price lists, is available on the maths tuition page.

What affects the price of maths tutoring?

The price of maths tutoring depends primarily on the level of the material and the teacher’s experience, followed by the lesson format and city. The factors most likely to raise or lower the rate are:

1. Level taught. Primary school is the cheapest, secondary school and the basic-level Matura fall in the middle of the range, while the advanced-level Matura and university courses are the most expensive.
2. Tutor’s qualifications. A maths student usually charges less than a practising teacher or Matura examiner.
3. Lesson format. There are no travel costs online. Lessons at the student’s home may be more expensive, especially outside the tutor’s town or city.
4. City. Rates are usually higher in large cities than in smaller localities. Our sources do not yet provide separate medians for individual cities, so we do not compare them numerically.
5. Platform or private tutor. Subscription platforms add their own margin, but make it easy to change teachers and offer flexible scheduling.

How much does maths tutoring cost for primary and secondary school students?

Maths tutoring for primary school students usually costs towards the lower end of the 71 ‑ 77 PLN/h range, while lessons for general and technical secondary school students are towards the upper end. Our sources do not provide separate medians for each level, but they all indicate the same trend: the more advanced the material, the higher the rate.

Advanced maths lessons, preparation for competitions and tutoring for university students in subjects such as calculus, algebra and statistics are the most expensive. Rates close to 109 PLN/h usually apply to these lessons or to experienced teachers working through subscription platforms. Primary school and eighth-grade exam preparation generally cost around the median of 72 PLN/h.

How much do a month and a school year of maths tutoring cost?

A month of weekly maths tutoring, meaning four 60-minute lessons, costs approximately PLN 290 at the median rate, with a typical cost of PLN 280 ‑ 310. Two lessons a week double this expense.

Lesson plan	Number of lessons	Cost at the median rate	Typical cost
One month, once a week	4	PLN 290	PLN 280 ‑ 310
One month, twice a week	8	PLN 580	PLN 570 ‑ 620
One term, once a week	18	PLN 1,300	PLN 1,300 ‑ 1,400
One school year, once a week	36	PLN 2,600	PLN 2,600 ‑ 2,800

When planning your budget, remember the breaks: winter holidays, public holidays and the May holiday period usually interrupt the schedule, so a school year realistically includes fewer than 36 sessions. On the other hand, students often add extra lessons before tests and exams.

How much does preparation for the maths Matura cost?

Preparing for the maths Matura from September to May, with one lesson a week, involves around 32 lessons. This costs approximately PLN 2,300 at the median rate, with a typical cost of PLN 2,300 ‑ 2,500. Teachers are more likely to charge rates from the upper end of the range for the advanced-level Matura, and students more often increase the number of lessons before the exam.

How to plan your preparation without overpaying:

1. Start early, but take it steadily. One lesson a week from September costs less than an intensive course in April and gives you more time to consolidate your knowledge.
2. Set a goal during the first lesson. The tutor should assess the student’s level and identify which areas require work.
3. Work through past Matura papers. Solving questions from previous years between lessons reduces the amount of lesson time required.
4. Consider lessons in pairs. Some teachers offer lessons for two students at a lower rate than two individual lessons.

Online or in-person maths tutoring?

Online maths tutoring usually costs the same as or slightly less than in-person lessons because the tutor does not add travel costs. However, rates for online lessons in large cities may be close to the median of 72 PLN/h, because online tuition allows you to learn from a teacher anywhere in Poland, including Warsaw.

Online lessons work well for older students, Matura candidates and university students who are comfortable using a graphics tablet or virtual whiteboard. Younger children often find it easier to concentrate with a teacher beside them, while a tutor may charge extra to travel to the student’s home.

Is PLN 100 a lot for maths tutoring?

A rate of around PLN 100 per hour for maths is at the upper end of the market: it is usually above the typical 71 ‑ 77 PLN/h range and close to the highest rates in our sources, which reach 109 PLN/h. This price may be justified for the advanced-level Matura, university mathematics or a teacher with experience as an examiner.

For primary school and the basic-level Matura, there is usually no need to pay this much: most offers are around the median of 72 PLN/h.

Maths or English tutoring: which is more expensive?

Maths tutoring is usually cheaper than English lessons: the median for maths is 72 PLN/h, compared with 85 PLN/h per hour for English. English has a wider range of prices because it also includes native speakers and preparation for international exams. You can read more about language lesson prices in our article English tutoring: price per hour, with further details on the english lessons page.

How much does a maths tutor earn per hour?

A maths tutor most commonly charges 72 PLN/h per hour, but this is the amount before tax and before accounting for travel time and lesson preparation. Income from tutoring must be declared. It is best to consult a tax adviser about the appropriate arrangement. We cover the cost of this advice in our article tax adviser: price list.

Cheap maths tutoring: how to avoid overpaying

• Compare the rate with the median of 72 PLN/h before agreeing to the price.
• Ask about packages. Paying for a month in advance often reduces the price per lesson.
• Book an initial trial lesson and check whether the teacher explains the material in a way the student understands.
• Agree on cancellation terms so that you do not pay for lessons that do not take place.
• Do not pay for long lessons if the student gets tired. For younger children, 45 minutes, costing around PLN 50, may be better than a full hour.
