"How much does a home tutor cost?" is the first question most Pakistani parents ask — and the honest answer is: it depends. This guide gives realistic 2026 fee ranges by class, subject, and city, explains what drives the price, and shows how to get an accurate estimate for your child.
What affects tutor fees?
Six factors decide the fee:
- Class or level — higher classes (O Level, A Level, FSc) cost more than primary.
- Subject — sciences, mathematics, and specialist exam prep command more.
- Tutor experience — an experienced, exam-focused tutor charges more than a college student.
- Location — fees in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad are typically higher than smaller cities.
- Number of sessions — more sessions per week naturally cost more.
- Home vs online — online tutoring is often slightly cheaper.
Typical monthly fee ranges by class
These are realistic 2026 ranges for one subject at roughly three sessions a week. Actual fees vary with the factors above.
| Level | Typical monthly range (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Primary (Class 1 to 5) | 6,000 to 12,000 |
| Middle (Class 6 to 8) | 8,000 to 15,000 |
| Matric (Class 9 to 10) | 10,000 to 20,000 |
| O Level | 15,000 to 30,000 |
| A Level | 18,000 to 35,000 |
| FSc (Pre-Medical or Pre-Engineering) | 15,000 to 30,000 |
| Quran (daily) | 5,000 to 12,000 |
Fees by city
Bigger cities usually pay more because demand and living costs are higher. Fees in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad sit at the upper end of the ranges above, while smaller cities are typically lower. Whatever your city, we match a tutor to your budget where possible.
Does online tuition change the fee?
Usually yes — a little. Online tutors save travel time and fuel, so their fees can be slightly lower. But the difference is smaller than most parents expect; tutor experience and subject matter more than the mode. Read Online Tutor vs Home Tutor to weigh the trade-offs.
How to get an accurate estimate

Avoiding common fee mistakes
- Do not choose on price alone. The cheapest tutor is rarely the best value; results matter more.
- Ask what is included — number of sessions, session length, and whether tests are set.
- Insist on a verified tutor and a replacement guarantee, so a poor match does not cost you a wasted month.
