San Diego Tutoring FAQ
How much does Varsity Tutors cost for students in San Diego?
The cost of learning with a private tutor for students in San Diego can vary from one situation to another. The number of sessions you sign your student from the Gaslamp Quarter up for is just one example, but other factors may include the subject being studied and the credentials of the tutor.
As an example, a student who needs weekly sessions throughout the term may enjoy a lower per-lesson rate than a student at Canyon Crest Academy who just needs a few sessions of ACT test prep. Another example is learning with a retired math professor vs. with a recent graduate. When you speak with our Educational Directors, you can get a better quote.
