Build the plan. See the price.
Every child's plan is different, so your price is too — book a free trial and we'll build yours.
Free trial · No card needed · Personalised quote before you commit
We don't quote a price before we know your child.
Every learning plan we build is different, so a generic calculator was never going to tell you the truth. Here's what actually happens:
Book the free trial.
45 minutes, no card, no obligation. Your child works with a matched specialist tutor on real GCSE material.
We build the learning plan.
From that session we know exactly where your child is strong, where they're not, and what it will actually take to move the needle.
Then we talk pricing.
Once we know the plan, we can price it properly — built around your child, not a generic monthly tier. You don't pay for anything until you know exactly what you're paying for.
This is the process every family goes through, and it's why our students get the results they do.
Pricing — every question parents reliably ask.
We don't publish a flat rate because tutoring plans aren't flat — pricing depends on the subjects, the number of weekly lessons, and what your child's learning plan says they actually need. Book the free 45-minute trial first — it's free, no card required — and from there we build a tailored learning plan and give you a clear, fixed monthly price before you commit to anything. The optional written diagnostic, if you add it, is a one-off £97.
No. The 45-minute trial is free, no card required. You and your child meet a matched specialist teacher, work on a real piece of GCSE material, and decide afterwards whether to carry on. We follow up with a parent feedback call to discuss the learning plan, but there is no pressure to commit.
No. The diagnostic is an optional add-on for parents who want a deeper picture before committing to weekly lessons. The full breakdown of what you get for £97 lives on the /how-it-works page (Step 02) and on the dedicated /diagnostic page.
Cancellation and pause terms are set out in your personalised tutoring agreement before you commit. Contact our team if your circumstances change.
Cancellation and rescheduling terms are set out clearly in your personalised agreement before you commit to weekly lessons.
Monthly or quarterly. Weekly tutoring is invoiced at the start of each calendar month for the lessons in that month, or quarterly with a 10% discount. The £97 diagnostic is a one-off charge taken at the time of booking via Stripe (Apple Pay and Google Pay supported). The trial lesson is free and never touches a card.
Two things: how many lessons per week (typically 1-3 based on the assessment) and which subjects. All lessons today run online, so there's no travel surcharge to model — your fixed monthly quote, given after the trial and the learning plan, reflects the exact figure for your child. That all-in monthly fee already includes teacher pay, the shared interactive whiteboard, between-lesson messaging access, the six-weekly written progress review, and direct support from our team — no platform fees, no onboarding charges, no separate "materials" line.
No. Combined sciences (Biology + Chemistry + Physics covered in the same lesson block) is billed at the same per-lesson basis as any single subject — there's no specialist surcharge or premium tier. Your fixed monthly quote after the trial reflects that exactly.
Two optional add-ons can be included in your plan: monthly progress assessments for a structured written check-in on where your child is gaining ground, and monthly parent's meetings for a scheduled call with the teacher and our team to walk through progress and adjust the plan. Both are optional, confirmed as part of the price we agree after your trial, and can be added or removed month-to-month.
We don't run a formal discount table because it tends to push parents into buying more than they need. What we do: when you take two subjects with the same tutor, or two children at the same time-slot, we'll quote those engagements honestly as part of the plan we build after your trial — usually about the same monthly figure as a single intensive engagement. Contact us for an explicit quote.
GoStudent and Bright Heart sell long-dated packages of 50–100+ lessons paid up front. We don't. Weekly tutoring at Legacy is billed monthly or quarterly, with a 10% discount for quarterly payments. The /why-legacy-academy page has the full side-by-side comparison.
Tutors are independent contractors paid for the lessons they teach — that lets us match on quality (subject specialism, exam-board experience, personality) instead of paying for unused capacity. The fixed monthly price we agree after your trial is the all-in price; tutor pay, platform costs, support time and refund cover are all baked into that single number.
Direct messaging access to the tutor between lessons (most questions answered within a few hours during the day), support from the Legacy Academy team if anything feels off, a six-weekly written progress review, and access to our shared interactive whiteboard for online sessions. The monthly fee is the all-in number — there are no platform fees, no onboarding charges, and nothing auto-renewed without a clear opt-in.
Yes. We pro-rate the change — you pay the new monthly figure from the next billing cycle, and we'll quote the exact difference on the call before anything changes on the invoice. Adding a subject usually means re-matching to a tutor with cross-subject capability or adding a second tutor; we'll talk you through both routes.
A topic-by-topic written gap analysis across the five core GCSE subjects (Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics), an honest read on the grade your child is sitting at right now versus their realistic target, a recommended pace and lesson plan for the next half-term, a 60-minute specialist deep-dive lesson, and a 30-minute parent call with our team to walk through the findings. Full breakdown lives at /how-it-works (Step 02) and /diagnostic.
Plain English: if you don't feel the diagnostic report and the specialist session gave you genuine new insight, reply to any email from us within 14 days of payment with the word "refund" and we return the £97 in full, no questions asked. Every request is actioned within 48 hours and the funds land in your account on Stripe's standard timeline. Weekly tutoring is billed in advance for each calendar month or quarter. Full refund and cancellation terms are set out in your agreement and live on /refund.
No. The first month of weekly tutoring is invoiced at the start of that month for the lessons taking place in it. There's no separate deposit, no upfront package purchase, and no admin fee. The free trial and (if added) £97 diagnostic are the only things that happen before weekly lessons start.
All tutoring today is online — every family pays the price we agree after the trial exactly, with no travel surcharge to worry about. In-person tutoring is not something we deliver right now.
Start with the trial — pricing comes after.
Forty-five minutes, 1-to-1 with a matched specialist tutor. No card, no commitment. Book now and we'll build your child's learning plan — and their price — from there.
