Online, Scotland-wide · Rate as publicly listed, August 2026

Every entry from second place down teaches online only, so the door-to-door option in Aberdeen is the one at the top.

The rest of the Aberdeen market splits the way it does across Scotland. Online marketplaces list local and remote tutors from about £20 an hour, with reviews public and the vetting left to you. At the top end, a small band of premium independents charge £68 to £100 an hour; our independent tutors guide covers what that money buys and when a company at half the rate is the smarter call.

One other local route is worth knowing about: Kip McGrath Aberdeen South, a teacher-led centre for maths and English with a free first assessment. For a shared classroom format they can suit; for dedicated one-to-one with published results, our pick stands.

From Westhill to Stonehaven and out to Inverurie, the choice works the same way: a home tutor when one is available near you, online everywhere else, with the north-east fully covered either way. Rates across every route are in our price guide.
