Two in three tutors who price their lessons in British pounds live outside the UK. We looked at 250 tutors in 35 countries to see who teaches across borders, what they teach, what they charge, and whether their hours fit students abroad.**\n\n*TutorTime Research · Data snapshot: 9 November 2026, 00:01 UTC · Next update: May 2027*\n\nEducation is now something a country can export down a video call. Digitally delivered services, the category that includes remote education, reached US$4.78 trillion of world exports in 2024, or 14.8% of all exports of goods and services ([WTO, 2025](https://www.wto.org/english/res_e/booksp_e/digital-trade-lac_ch0_e.pdf)). Demand for private tutoring is high in the places these tutors serve: 29% of secondary pupils in England and Wales have had a private tutor, rising to 45% in London ([Sutton Trust, 2026](https://www.suttontrust.com/our-research/private-tutoring-2026/)).\n\nDistance doesn't have to cost results either. In a randomised trial in Italy, three hours a week of one-to-one online tutoring raised maths scores by 0.22 standard deviations in 2020 and 0.20 in 2022 ([Carlana & La Ferrara, *American Economic Review*](https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257%2Faer.20240401)). That is in the same range as tutoring in general, which raised learning by 0.37 standard deviations on average across 96 randomised studies ([Nickow, Oreopoulos & Quan, NBER 2020](https://www.nber.org/papers/w27476)).\n\nSo who is on the other end of the call? This report uses every public tutor listing on [TutorTime](https://www.tutortime.study/), a free listing board where tutors set their own rate, choose their own price currency and keep all of their fee.\n\n> **Read this first:** these figures describe **tutors listed on TutorTime**, not all tutors in the world or in any country. We can't see where students live, so we use the **currency a tutor prices in** as a signal of the market they aim at (for example, a tutor in Nigeria who prices in pounds is most likely aiming at UK families). Prices are **advertised asking rates**, not what families paid. See [Methodology and limitations](#methodology-and-limitations).\n\n\n\n## Key findings\n\n- **Online is the default: 98% of TutorTime tutors teach online and 72% teach only online.** 28% also offer in-person lessons, and just 2% (6 tutors) teach in person only.\n- **Where a tutor lives decides whether they meet students in person.** 94% of tutors in Nigeria teach online only, compared with 50% in the United States and 13% in Taiwan.\n- **Two in three tutors who price in pounds live outside the UK.** Of 72 tutors who charge in £, 68% (49) are based abroad, more than twice as many as the 23 based in the UK. Nigeria (18%), India (15%) and Pakistan (10%) lead, and the rest come from 15 other countries.\n- **Pricing for UK families pays.** In Nigeria, India and Pakistan, tutors who price in pounds ask a median 52% to 95% more than tutors in the same country who price in US dollars, or **+65%** taken together.\n- **UK-facing tutors abroad teach UK exams and have more experience.** 45% of £-priced tutors outside the UK teach IGCSE or A Levels (34% of $-priced tutors outside the US), 31% teach IB (18%), and their median experience is 8 years (6).\n- **Their hours follow the UK school day.** 54% of £-priced tutors abroad who publish a schedule are free for at least an hour on weekday afternoons from 16:00 to 19:00 UTC (UK after school), compared with 31% of other tutors outside the US.\n- **US evenings are the hardest slot to fill from abroad.** Only 19% of tutors outside the US who publish a schedule are free during US East Coast after-school hours (21:00–01:00 UTC), against 86% of US-based tutors.\n- **The pattern is stable.** The share of £-priced tutors living outside the UK was 67% on 8 October, 69% on 26 October and 68% on 9 November 2026.\n\n\n\n## Online is the default almost everywhere\n\n![Bar chart: share of tutors teaching online only vs also in person, by home country. Nigeria 94% online only, US 50%, Taiwan 13%.](/research/cross-border-online-tutoring-2026/online-vs-in-person-by-country.en.png)\n\n| Tutor's home country | Tutors | Online only | Also (or only) in person |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Nigeria | 32 | 94% | 6% |\n| Philippines | 21 | 86% | 14% |\n| South Africa | 19 | 84% | 16% |\n| Pakistan | 25 | 80% | 20% |\n| United Kingdom | 25 | 72% | 28% |\n| India | 36 | 69% | 31% |\n| United States | 24 | 50% | 50% |\n| Taiwan | 23 | 13% | 87% |\n| 27 other countries | 45 | 82% | 18% |\n| **All tutors** | **250** | **72%** | **28%** |\n\nCountries are listed individually when at least 14 TutorTime tutors live there; smaller countries are grouped.\n\nTwo kinds of tutoring market show up. In Taiwan and, to a lesser degree, the United States, tutors still meet many students face to face, usually in their own city. In Nigeria, the Philippines, South Africa and Pakistan, almost everyone teaches online, and many of their students are likely to be abroad. Families who are open to online lessons can choose from about three and a half times as many tutors as families who need someone in person.\n\n## Who prices in pounds, and why it matters\n\n![Bar chart: 72 tutors price in pounds; 23 live in the UK, 13 in Nigeria, 11 in India, 7 in Pakistan and 18 in 15 other countries.](/research/cross-border-online-tutoring-2026/who-prices-in-pounds.en.png)\n\nTutorTime tutors pick the currency of their hourly rate. 60% price in US dollars, 29% in pounds and 11% in New Taiwan dollars. The US dollar works as a global default: 84% of dollar-priced tutors live outside the United States. The pound is more telling, because a tutor in Lagos or Lahore who chooses it is usually pitching to UK families.\n\n| £-priced tutors by home country | Tutors | Share of £-priced tutors |\n|---|---|---|\n| United Kingdom | 23 | 32% |\n| Nigeria | 13 | 18% |\n| India | 11 | 15% |\n| Pakistan | 7 | 10% |\n| 15 other countries | 18 | 25% |\n| **All £-priced tutors (19 countries)** | **72** | **100%** |\n\nSeen from the other side, 41% of TutorTime tutors in Nigeria price in pounds, as do 31% in India and 28% in Pakistan. Hardly any tutors price in NT$ from outside Taiwan (fewer than 5).\n\n## Same country, different market: pound pricing earns more\n\n![Grouped bars: median asking rate in US$ for dollar-priced vs pound-priced tutors in Nigeria ($10 vs $18.99), India ($13 vs $25.32) and Pakistan ($12.50 vs $18.99).](/research/cross-border-online-tutoring-2026/pound-vs-dollar-pricing.en.png)\n\n| Tutor's home country | Priced in US$: tutors | Median, US$/hr | Priced in £: tutors | Median, shown in US$/hr | Difference |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Nigeria | 19 | $10.00 | 13 | $18.99 | +90% |\n| India | 25 | $13.00 | 11 | $25.32 | +95% |\n| Pakistan | 18 | $12.50 | 7 | $18.99 | +52% |\n\nPound prices are converted to US dollars at the rate TutorTime shows on each listing. Across all 31 £-priced tutors in these three countries, the typical tutor asks **65% more** than the median dollar-priced tutor in their own country (geometric mean).\n\nThat doesn't mean switching currency doubles a tutor's income. Tutors who aim at the UK also differ in what they teach and how long they've taught (next section), and asking rates aren't the same as bookings. But it does show that tutors in these countries see UK families as a higher-paying market, and that UK families can still find experienced tutors abroad for well under the median of UK-based tutors on TutorTime (US$37.97 an hour).\n\n## What cross-border tutors teach\n\n| Group | Tutors | Teach IGCSE or A Levels | Teach IB | Teach SAT, ACT or AP | Teach maths | Median years teaching | Median rate, US$/hr | Also in person |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| £-priced, living outside the UK | 49 | 45% | 31% | 33% | 43% | 8 | $25.32 | 18% |\n| $-priced, living outside the US | 127 | 34% | 18% | 28% | 52% | 6 | $12.00 | 17% |\n| UK-based (£) | 23 | 74% | 26% | 30% | 48% | 11 | $37.97 | 30% |\n| US-based ($) | 24 | 4% | 8% | 29% | 50% | 9 | $45.00 | 50% |\n\nTutors abroad who price in pounds look like the UK market they serve. They are more likely than other tutors abroad to teach British-curriculum qualifications (IGCSE and A Levels) and the IB, and they have about two more years of experience. Cambridge IGCSE alone is taught in more than 7,000 schools in 147 countries ([Cambridge International](https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/about-us/facts-and-figures/)), so many of these tutors will have studied or taught it at home.\n\n## Do their hours fit students abroad?\n\n![Grouped bars: share of tutors free during UK after school (16-19 UTC), US East after school (21-01 UTC) and Taiwan evening (11-14 UTC), by tutor group.](/research/cross-border-online-tutoring-2026/time-zone-fit.en.png)\n\nAll times are for the week of 9 November 2026, when UK time equals UTC and US Eastern time is UTC−5. Tutors count as free if their published weekly schedule has at least one hour inside the window on at least one weekday.\n\n| Group (tutors with a published schedule) | UK after school, Mon–Fri 16:00–19:00 UTC | US East after school, Mon–Fri 21:00–01:00 UTC | Taiwan evening, Mon–Fri 11:00–14:00 UTC |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| £-priced, outside the UK (26) | 54% | 19% | 62% |\n| $-priced, outside the US (67) | 31% | 19% | 69% |\n| UK-based (11) | 100% | 27% | 64% |\n| US-based (14) | 71% | 86% | 21% |\n| **All tutors with a schedule (127)** | **44%** | **27%** | **60%** |\n\nMost TutorTime tutors outside the US live in Africa and Asia (Nigeria, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Africa), where UK afternoons and East Asian evenings fall in their own afternoon or evening. US East Coast evenings land in the middle of their night, so only about one in five tutors abroad offers them. For US families, that makes local tutors, or tutors in the Americas, the easiest fit after school, while weekend slots (see our [tutor availability report](https://www.tutortime.study/research/tutor-availability-2026)) widen the choice.\n\nWhen clocks change in March, UK after-school hours move to 15:00–18:00 UTC and US Eastern to 20:00–00:00 UTC.\n\n\n\n## What this means for families, students and tutors\n\n1. **Look beyond your own country if you can learn online.** Most TutorTime tutors teach only online, and many already work to UK, US or Asian school timetables. Start with [online tutors](https://www.tutortime.study/online-tutors) and filter by subject.\n2. **Check the price currency and the time zone, not just the rate.** A tutor priced in pounds abroad is usually aiming at UK families; check their weekly schedule against your after-school hours in UTC.\n3. **Ask about the exam board.** If your child sits IGCSE or A Levels, ask whether the tutor knows your board (Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel, AQA or OCR). See [A Level tutors](https://www.tutortime.study/find/subject/a-levels) and [maths tutors](https://www.tutortime.study/find/subject/mathematics).\n4. **Need someone in person?** Choose fewer tutors near you: browse [private tutors](https://www.tutortime.study/private-tutors) or search [by location](https://www.tutortime.study/find/location).\n5. **Tutors: say who you teach.** Pick the currency your students pay in, publish your weekly hours, and list the curricula and exam boards you know. You can [list for free](https://www.tutortime.study/list) and keep all of your fee.\n\n## FAQ\n\n**How many online tutors teach students in other countries?**\nWe can't see where students live, but 98% of TutorTime's 250 tutors teach online and 72% teach only online, so most can take students anywhere. Among tutors who price in British pounds, 68% live outside the UK.\n\n**Where do online tutors for UK students come from?**\nOn TutorTime, two in three tutors who price in pounds live outside the UK, most often in Nigeria (18% of £-priced tutors), India (15%) and Pakistan (10%), with the rest spread across 15 other countries.\n\n**Are tutors abroad cheaper than UK tutors?**\nUsually. The median £-priced tutor living outside the UK asks US$25.32 an hour, against US$37.97 for UK-based tutors. They also have a median of 8 years' experience, against 11 for UK-based tutors.\n\n**Do tutors charge more when they price in pounds?**\nIn Nigeria, India and Pakistan, tutors who price in pounds ask 52% to 95% more than tutors in the same country who price in dollars, about 65% more overall. Part of the gap reflects differences in subjects and experience.\n\n**Can I find a tutor abroad for US after-school hours?**\nIt's harder. Only 19% of TutorTime tutors outside the US who publish a schedule are free during US East Coast after-school hours (21:00–01:00 UTC in November), compared with 86% of US-based tutors.\n\n**Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?**\nGood online tutoring can work well. In a randomised trial in Italy, three hours a week of online tutoring raised maths scores by about 0.2 standard deviations, comparable to many in-person programmes ([AER](https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257%2Faer.20240401)).\n\n**Can I use this data?**\nYes, under CC BY 4.0. Please credit \"TutorTime Cross-Border Tutoring Report, Nov 2026\" with a link to this page.\n\n\n\n## Methodology and limitations\n\n- **Data:** every public listing in the TutorTime directory ([tutortime.study/find](https://www.tutortime.study/find)) on 9 November 2026 at 00:01 UTC: 250 tutors in 35 countries. Trend figures use our earlier snapshots of all public listings on 8 October (162) and 26 October 2026 (236).\n- **Market signal:** TutorTime tutors can price in a small set of currencies (mainly US$, £ and NT$), so a tutor's currency is a choice, not a fact about their students. We read a non-UK tutor's choice of pounds as aiming at UK families. The US dollar is a common default, so we don't read dollar pricing as aiming at the US.\n- **Prices:** advertised hourly asking rates, converted to US$ at the rate shown on each listing. Medians only; no minimum or maximum is published. The +65% figure is a geometric mean of each £-priced tutor's rate divided by the median $-priced rate in their own country.\n- **Schedules:** 127 tutors (51%) publish a weekly schedule. Windows are tested in the reference week 9–15 November 2026 using each tutor's own time zone; a tutor counts if they have at least one free hour in the window on at least one weekday. UK-based (11) and US-based (14) schedule groups are small, so treat those figures as indicative.\n- **Self-reported:** countries, subjects, curricula, experience and lesson types come from tutors' own listings and aren't independently verified.\n- **Small groups:** every published figure rests on at least 5 tutors. Countries are named only when at least 5 tutors are in the group being described. No tutor can be identified.\n- **Not a market survey:** TutorTime is a growing listing board, so these numbers describe its tutors, not every online tutor. They shouldn't be read as national averages.\n\n## Sources\n\n- TutorTime public tutor listings, snapshot 9 November 2026 (data appendix: `data-appendix.csv`, CC BY 4.0)\n- WTO (2025), *Digital trade in Latin America and the Caribbean*, overview: global digitally delivered services exports.

月*\n\n現在，教育也能透過視訊「出口」。包含遠距教育在內的「數位交付服務」，2024 年全球出口額達 4.78 兆美元，占全球商品與服務出口的 14.8%（[WTO，2025](https://www.wto.org/english/res_e/booksp_e/digital-trade-lac_ch0_e.pdf)）。這些老師服務的市場，家教需求也很高：英格蘭和威爾斯有 29% 的中學生請過家教，倫敦更高達 45%（[Sutton Trust，2026](https://www.suttontrust.com/our-research/private-tutoring-2026/)）。\n\n距離也不一定影響效果。義大利一項隨機對照實驗中，每週三小時的一對一線上家教，讓學生的數學成績在 2020 年提升 0.22 個標準差、2022 年提升 0.20 個標準差（[Carlana 與 La Ferrara，《美國經濟評論》](https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257%2Faer.20240401)）。這和一般家教的效果相近：綜合 96 項隨機實驗，家教平均讓學習成果提升 0.37 個標準差（[Nickow、Oreopoulos 與 Quan，NBER 2020](https://www.nber.org/papers/w27476)）。\n\n那麼，視訊另一端的老師是誰？本報告使用 [TutorTime](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW) 上所有公開的老師刊登資料。TutorTime 是免費的家教刊登平台，老師自訂價格與定價幣別，學費全部歸老師。\n\n> **請先讀這段：**以下數字描述的是 **在

住在美國以外。英鎊則更有參考價值：住在拉哥斯或拉合爾、卻選擇英鎊的老師，通常就是在招收英國學生。\n\n| 以英鎊定價的老師所在國家 | 人數 | 占英鎊定價老師比例 |\n|---|---|---|\n| 英國 | 23 | 32% |\n| 奈及利亞 | 13 | 18% |\n| 印度 | 11 | 15% |\n| 巴基斯坦 | 7 | 10% |\n| 其他 15 國 | 18 |

**65%**（幾何平均）。\n\n這不代表換個幣別收入就翻倍。瞄準英國的老師，教的科目和年資也不同（見下一節），而且開價不等於實際成交。但這顯示這些國家的老師把英國家庭視為付費較高的市場；而英國家庭在國外也能找到有經驗的老師，價格遠低於 TutorTime 上英國老師的中位數（每小時 37.97 美元）。\n\n## 跨國老師教什麼\n\n| 族群 | 人數 | 教 IGCSE 或 A Level | 教 IB | 教 SAT、ACT 或 AP | 教數學 | 年資中位數 | 開價中位數（美元／小時） | 也提供實體課 |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 住英國以外、以英鎊定價 | 49 | 45% | 31% | 33% | 43% | 8 | $25.32 | 18% |\n| 住美國以外、以美元定價 | 127 | 34% | 18% | 28% | 52% | 6 | $12.00 | 17% |\n| 英國老師（英鎊） | 23 | 74% | 26% | 30% | 48% | 11 | $37.97 | 30% |\n| 美國老師（美元） | 24 | 4% | 8% | 29% | 50% | 9 | $45.00 | 50% |\n\n以英鎊定價的海外老師，樣貌很接近他們服務的英國市場：比其他海外老師更常教英式課綱考試（IGCSE、A Level）和 IB，年資也多約兩年。光是 Cambridge IGCSE 就在 147 個國家、超過 7,000 所學校開設（[Cambridge International](https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/about-us/facts-and-figures/)），所以很多老師本身就在自己國家學過或教過。\n\n## 他們的時間配合得上國外學生嗎？\n\n![分組長條圖：各族群老師在英國放學後（UTC 16–19）、美東放學後（UTC 21–01）與台灣晚上（UTC 11–14）有空的比例。](/research/cross-border-online-tutoring-2026/time-zone-fit.zh-TW.png)\n\n以下時間以 2026 年 11 月 9 日當週為準，當時英國時間等於 UTC，美東時間為 UTC−5。老師只要公開的每週課表中，至少有一個平日在該時段內有一小時以上空檔，就算有空。\n\n| 族群（有公開課表的老師） | 英國放學後：週一至五 UTC 16:00–19:00 | 美東放學後：週一至五 UTC 21:00–01:00 | 台灣晚上：週一至五 UTC 11:00–14:00 |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 住英國以外、以英鎊定價（26） | 54% | 19% | 62% |\n| 住美國以外、以美元定價（67） | 31% | 19% | 69% |\n| 英國老師（11） | 100% | 27% | 64% |\n| 美國老師（14） | 71% | 86% | 21% |\n| **全部有課表的老師（127）** | **44%** | **27%** | **60%** |\n\nTutorTime 美國以外的老師大多住在非洲和亞洲（奈及利亞、印度、巴基斯坦、菲律賓、南非），英國下午和東亞晚上正好落在他們的下午或晚上。美東晚上則是他們的半夜，所以海外老師只有約五分之一能配合。對美國家庭來說，放學後最好配合的是本地或美洲的老師；週末時段（見我們的[家教可上課時段報告](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/research/tutor-availability-2026)）則能擴大選擇。\n\n台灣學生也受益：台灣平日晚上 7 到 10 點（UTC 11:00–14:00），有公開課表的老師中有 60% 有空。\n\n3 月換成夏令時間後，英國放學後時段改為 UTC 15:00–18:00，美東改為 UTC 20:00–00:00。\n\n\n\n## 對家長、學生和老師的意義\n\n1. **能上線上課，就別只看自己國家。**TutorTime 大多數老師只上線上課，很多人已經配合英國、美國或亞洲的學校作息。可以從[線上家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/online-tutors)開始，依科目篩選。\n2. **除了價格，也看幣別和時區。**住在國外、以英鎊定價的老師通常瞄準英國家庭；請用 UTC 對照老師的每週課表和孩子放學後的時間。\n3. **問清楚考試局。**孩子考 IGCSE 或 A Level 的話，問老師熟不熟悉你的考試局（Cambridge、Pearson Edexcel、AQA 或 OCR）。可參考 [A Level 家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/subject/a-levels)和[數學家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/subject/mathematics)。\n4. **需要實體課？**附近的選擇會少一些：可瀏覽[私人家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/private-tutors)或[依地點搜尋](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/location)。\n5. **老師：寫清楚你教誰。**選擇學生付款的幣別、公開每週可上課時段，並列出你熟悉的課綱與考試局。你可以[免費刊登](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/list)，學費全部歸你。\n\n## 常見問題\n\n**有多少線上老師在教其他國家的學生？**\n我們看不到學生住在哪裡，但 TutorTime 250 位老師中有 98% 提供線上課、72% 只上線上課，所以大多數老師可以收任何地方的學生。以英鎊定價的老師中，68% 住在英國以外。\n\n**教英國學生的線上老師來自哪裡？**\n在 TutorTime 上，以英鎊定價的老師每三位就有兩位住在英國以外，最多來自奈及利亞（18%）、印度（15%）和巴基斯坦（10%），其餘分散在另外 15 個國家。\n\n**國外老師比英國老師便宜嗎？**\n通常是。住在英國以外、以英鎊定價的老師開價中位數為每小時 25.32 美元，英國老師為 37.97 美元。年資中位數分別為 8 年和 11 年。\n\n**以英鎊定價的老師收費比較高嗎？**\n在奈及利亞、印度和巴基斯坦，以英鎊定價的老師開價比同國以美元定價的老師高 52% 到 95%，整體約高 65%。部分差距來自科目和年資不同。\n\n**台灣學生能找到晚上有空的國外老師嗎？**\n可以。台灣平日晚上 7 到 10 點（UTC 11:00–14:00），TutorTime 有公開課表的老師中有 60% 有空，美國以外以美元定價的老師更有 69%。\n\n**線上家教和實體家教一樣有效嗎？**\n好的線上家教效果不錯。義大利一項隨機實驗中，每週三小時的線上家教讓數學成績提升約 0.2 個標準差，和許多實體家教計畫相近（[AER](https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257%2Faer.20240401)）。\n\n**可以使用這份資料嗎？**\n可以，採 CC BY 4.0 授權。請註明「TutorTime 跨國線上家教報告，2026 年 11 月」並附上本頁連結。\n\n\n\n## 研究方法與限制\n\n- **資料：**2026 年 11 月 9 日 UTC 00:01，TutorTime 目錄（[tutortime.study/find](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find)）上所有公開刊登：35 國、250 位老師。趨勢數字使用我們 2026 年 10 月 8 日（162 位）和 10 月 26 日（236 位）的全部公開刊登快照。\n- **市場指標：**TutorTime 老師只能選擇少數幣別定價（主要是美元、英鎊和新台幣），所以幣別是老師的選擇，不是學生所在地的事實。我們把英國以外老師選擇英鎊，解讀為瞄準英國家庭。美元是常見預設選項，因此不把美元定價解讀為瞄準美國。\n- **價格：**刊登的每小時開價，依各刊登頁面顯示的匯率換算成美元。只公布中位數，不公布最高或最低價。「+65%」是每位英鎊定價老師的開價，除以同國美元定價老師中位數後的幾何平均。\n- **課表：**127 位老師（51%）有公開每週課表。時段以 2026 年 11 月 9 日至 15 日為參考週，依每位老師自己的時區換算；只要至少一個平日在時段內有一小時以上空檔就算有空。英國（11 位）和美國（14 位）有課表的老師較少，數字僅供參考。\n- **自行填寫：**國家、科目、課綱、年資和上課方式都由老師自行填寫，未經獨立驗證。\n- **小樣本：**每個公布的數字至少有 5 位老師支撐。只有在描述的族群中至少有 5 位老師時，才會列出國家名稱。無法辨識任何個別老師。\n- **不是市場普查：**TutorTime 是成長中的刊登平台，這些數字描述的是平台上的老師，不是所有線上老師，也不應視為各國平均。\n\n## 資料來源\n\n- TutorTime 公開老師刊登資料，2026 年 11 月 9 日快照（資料附錄：`data-appendix.csv`，CC BY
