What Affects the Cost?

Tutor costs in Fort William are shaped by subject difficulty (sciences and maths command higher fees than humanities), the tutor's experience and qualifications (qualified teachers charge more than university students), and exam board focus. One-to-one lessons cost more than small group sessions. Travel distance within Fort William and surrounding areas, pupil age group, and whether lessons are intensive or ongoing also affect pricing. Seasonal demand around exam periods may increase rates.
