We take no commission. So the price on a TutorTime listing is the tutor's own asking rate, not a platform price with fees built in. This report gathers those asking rates into medians by country, city and subject. It covers every priced public listing on TutorTime on 8 October 2026.\n\n**Read this first:** these are **advertised asking rates from a sample of TutorTime listings**. They are not what families actually paid, and they are not a national market average. See Methodology and limitations.\n\n## Key findings\n\n- **The typical TutorTime tutor asks US$21.87 an hour.** That's the median of 162 priced listings in 24 countries. The middle half of tutors ask between US$13 and US$40.\n- **Where a tutor lives matters most, with a five-fold gap.** The median rate is **US$50/hr in the United States** and **US$9.50/hr in the Philippines**.\n- **Tutors who list an international curriculum (IGCSE, A Levels, IB or AP) ask about 60% more** than tutors in the same country who don't. The gap shows up in all six markets where we could compare.\n- **Regional example, Taiwan:** the median is **NT$800/hr (about US$25)**, and NT$900 in Taipei, roughly **4× Taiwan's 2026 hourly minimum wage of NT$196**.\n- **Experience matters less than you'd expect.** Newer tutors (0–2 years) price about 24% below their country's median. From year three onward the gap mostly closes. Online-only tutors and tutors who teach in person price about the same once you allow for country.\n\n## Global overview\n\n| Measure | Value |\n|---|---|\n| Priced listings analysed | 162 (of 163 public listings) |\n| Countries represented | 24 |\n| Median advertised rate | **US$21.87/hr** |\n| Middle half (25th–75th percentile) | US$13.42 – US$39.70/hr |\n| Tutors who teach online only | 68% |\n| Tutors who offer in-person lessons (some also online) | 32% |\n| Median teaching experience | 8 years |\n\nMost TutorTime tutors work across borders: two in three teach only online. A student in London, New York or Taipei can book a tutor in Lagos or Manila. That's one reason the country gaps below matter to families and tutors alike.\n\n![Bar chart of the median advertised hourly rate in eight countries, in US$: the United States is highest at US$50 and the Philippines lowest at US$9.50. The median across all 162 priced TutorTime listings is US$21.87 an hour.](/research/tutor-rates-2026/rates-by-country-usd.en.png)\n\n## Rates by country\n\nWe report the eight countries with enough listings (at least 14 each). For Taiwan, the US and the UK, the headline figure is in local currency and uses only listings priced in that currency. TutorTime currently lets tutors price only in NT$, US$ or £. Tutors in Nigeria, India, Pakistan, the Philippines and South Africa therefore list in US$ or £, and we show their figures in US$.\n\n| Country | Priced listings | Median rate | Middle half | Median in US$ | Online-only |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| United States | 19 | **US$50** | US$25 – 55 | US$50 | 47% |\n| United Kingdom | 17 | **£30** | £20 – 40 | US$39.70 | 76% |\n| Taiwan | 24 | **NT$800** | NT$600 – 960 | US$24.99 | 17% |\n| India | 17 | **US$20** | US$11 – 26 | US$20 | 82% |\n| Nigeria | 19 | **US$19.85** | US$10 – 30 | US$19.85 | 89% |\n| Pakistan | 14 | **US$15** | US$10 – 20 | US$15 | 79% |\n| South Africa | 14 | **US$14.53** | US$11 – 24 | US$14.53 | 79% |\n| Philippines | 16 | **US$9.50** | US$7.50 – 10.50 | US$9.50 | 88% |\n\n*US$ conversions use the U.S. Federal Reserve H.10 rates for 2 October 2026: NT$32.01 per US$ and US$1.3234 per £.*\n\n**How this compares with other sources:**\n\n- **UK:** TutorLab, a UK tutoring platform, reports a [median starting price of £28.75/hr across 117 priced profiles](https://www.tutorlab.uk/research/private-tutor-rates-uk) (accessed 8 Oct 2026). That figure includes TutorLab's 15% family service fee. Taking the fee out gives about £25 for the tutor (our calculation). TutorTime's UK median of £30 is a fee-free asking rate. It's about 2.4× the [UK National Living Wage of £12.71/hr](https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates) (from April 2026). Demand is broad: the Sutton Trust found that [29% of secondary pupils in England and Wales have had private tutoring, rising to 45% in London](https://www.suttontrust.com/our-research/private-tutoring-2026/).\n- **US:** The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the [median hourly *wage* for employed tutors at US$20.84 (May 2025)](https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ocwage.t01.htm). That's a different measure from ours: it's pay received by employees, including staff at tutoring companies, not what independent tutors charge. Still, TutorTime's US median asking rate of US$50 is about 2.4× that wage benchmark.\n- **Taiwan:** Taiwan's [hourly minimum wage rose to NT$196 on 1 January 2026](https://english.mol.gov.tw/21139/40790/87087/). The TutorTime median of NT$800 is about 4.1× that. The Taipei median of NT$900 is about 4.6×.\n\n### Rates by city\n\nThese are cities with at least 5 priced listings.\n\n| City | Priced listings | Median rate | Middle half | Browse tutors |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Taipei, Taiwan | 13 | **NT$900** | NT$700 – 1,200 | [Tutors in Taipei](https://www.tutortime.study/find/location/taipei) |\n| Lagos, Nigeria | 13 | **US$19.85** | US$12 – 30 | [Tutors in Lagos](https://www.tutortime.study/find/location/lagos) |\n| London, UK | 8 | **£30** | not shown (fewer than 10 listings) | [Tutors in London](https://www.tutortime.study/find/location/london) |\n| Delhi, India | 8 | **US$20** | not shown (fewer than 10 listings) | [Tutors in India](https://www.tutortime.study/find/location/india) |\n| Manila, Philippines | 7 | **US$10** | not shown (fewer than 10 listings) | [Tutors in Manila](https://www.tutortime.study/find/location/manila) |\n| Johannesburg, South Africa | 6 | **US$13.50** | not shown (fewer than 10 listings) | [Tutors in Johannesburg](https://www.tutortime.study/find/location/johannesburg) |\n| Karachi, Pakistan | 5 | **US$19.85** | not shown (fewer than 10 listings) | [Tutors in Karachi](https://www.tutortime.study/find/location/karachi) |\n\nTaipei tutors ask about NT$100 more than the Taiwan-wide median. Taiwan is also the most in-person market in our data: only 17% of tutors there teach online only.\n\n## Rates by subject within each country\n\nWe only publish a subject in a country when at least 5 tutors list it with a price. We show the middle-half range only when at least 10 do. A tutor who teaches several subjects counts once in each, so the counts don't add up to the country total.\n\n### United States (US$)\n\n| Subject | Priced listings | Median | Middle half | Browse |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| History | 6 | **US$57.50** | – | [History tutors in the US](https://www.tutortime.study/find/history/united-states) |\n| Mathematics | 7 | **US$50** | – | [Maths tutors in the US](https://www.tutortime.study/find/mathematics/united-states) |\n| ESL | 5 | **US$50** | – | [ESL tutors](https://www.tutortime.study/find/subject/esl) |\n| English | 14 | **US$47.50** | US$29 – 58 | [English tutors in the US](https://www.tutortime.study/find/english/united-states) |\n\n### United Kingdom (£)\n\n| Subject | Priced listings | Median | Browse |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Mathematics | 8 | **£32.50** | [Maths tutors in the UK](https://www.tutortime.study/find/mathematics/united-kingdom) |\n| English | 5 | **£30** | [English tutors in the UK](https://www.tutortime.study/find/english/united-kingdom) |\n\nFor comparison, TutorLab's UK maths median is [£34.50 including its 15% fee](https://www.tutorlab.uk/research/private-tutor-rates-uk), or about £30 to the tutor (our calculation).\n\n### Taiwan (NT$)\n\n![Bar chart of median advertised hourly rates by subject for tutors in Taiwan, in NT$: ESL is highest at NT$850 and Mandarin Chinese lowest at NT$650, against an overall Taiwan median of NT$800.](/research/tutor-rates-2026/taiwan-by-subject-ntd.en.png)\n\n| Subject | Priced listings | Median | Middle half | Browse |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| ESL | 10 | **NT$850** | NT$550 – 1,140 | [ESL tutors](https://www.tutortime.study/find/subject/esl) |\n| English | 11 | **NT$800** | NT$600 – 930 | [English tutors in Taiwan](https://www.tutortime.study/find/english/taiwan) |\n| Mathematics | 11 | **NT$800** | NT$700 – 900 | [Maths tutors in Taiwan](https://www.tutortime.study/find/mathematics/taiwan) |\n| General Science | 7 | **NT$800** | – | [Science tutors in Taiwan](https://www.tutortime.study/find/general-science/taiwan) |\n| Physics | 7 | **NT$700** | – | [Physics tutors in Taiwan](https://www.tutortime.study/find/physics/taiwan) |\n| Biology | 5 | **NT$700** | – | [Biology tutors](https://www.tutortime.study/find/subject/biology) |\n| Mandarin Chinese | 10 | **NT$650** | NT$500 – 780 | [Mandarin tutors in Taiwan](https://www.tutortime.study/find/mandarin-chinese/taiwan) |\n\nMandarin is the cheapest subject in Taiwan, at NT$150 below the national median.

To isolate other factors, we compared each tutor with **the median of their own country**, across the eight markets above (140 listings), and averaged by group. \"+25%\" means a group typically asks 25% more than the median tutor in the same country. See the methodology for details.\n\n### Curriculum: the clearest premium\n\n| Group | Listings | Price vs. own-country median |\n|---|---|---|\n| Lists IGCSE, A Levels, IB or AP | 56 | **+25%** |\n| Lists no curriculum | 84 | **−23%** |\n\nTutors who list an international curriculum ask about **60% more** than tutors in the same country who don't. The pattern held in every market with at least 5 tutors in each group:\n\n| Country | With curriculum (median) | Without (median) |\n|---|---|---|\n| Taiwan | NT$1,000 (7) | NT$700 (17) |\n| United Kingdom | £37.50 (10) | £20 (7) |\n| United States | US$55 (6) | US$40 (13) |\n| Nigeria | US$25 (8) | US$15 (11) |\n| India | US$26.47 (9) | US$10.29 (8) |\n| Pakistan | US$19.85 (8) | US$12.50 (6) |\n\n*Number of listings in brackets.*\n\n### Experience: new tutors price low, then it levels off\n\n![Bar chart of how advertised rates change with teaching experience, compared with each tutor's own-country median: tutors with 0–2 years ask 24% below it, and tutors with 11+ years ask 6% above it.](/research/tutor-rates-2026/experience-premium.en.png)\n\n| Years teaching | Listings | Price vs. own-country median |\n|---|---|---|\n| 0–2 years | 32 | −24% |\n| 3–5 years | 23 | −6% |\n| 6–10 years | 38 | −4% |\n| 11+ years | 47 | +6% |\n\nWithout adjusting for country, rates appear to double with experience (US$15 for 0–2 years vs. US$30 for 11+). Most of that is because more experienced tutors on TutorTime tend to be in higher-priced countries. Within a country, the main step is out of the first two years.\n\n### Subject premiums, adjusted for country\n\nThese are subjects listed by at least 10 tutors across the eight markets.\n\n| Subject | Listings | Price vs. own-country median |\n|---|---|---|\n| IELTS | 19 | +27% |\n| Business Studies | 10 | +19% |\n| SAT | 28 | +13% |\n| ACT | 11 | +4% |\n| Mathematics | 64 | +1% |\n| Chemistry | 25 | +1% |\n| English | 78 | −9% |\n| Biology | 27 | −11% |\n| Physics | 32 | −15% |\n| Mandarin Chinese | 11 | −28% |\n\nTest prep (IELTS, SAT) and Business Studies carry a premium. The sciences sit slightly below the median. Most Mandarin tutors are in Taiwan, so that figure mainly reflects the Taiwan pattern above.\n\n### Online vs. in person: no premium once country is accounted for\n\nRaw medians suggest in-person tutors charge more (US$24.99 vs. US$19.85 for online-only). But in-person tutors are concentrated in Taiwan and the US. Compared with tutors in their own country, both groups price the same: **−6% for online-only (93 listings) and −6% for tutors who offer in-person lessons (47)**.\n\n## How to use this report\n\n### For parents and students\n\n1. **Use the local median as your anchor, and the middle half as the normal range.** Across TutorTime, US$13–40/hr covers half of all tutors. In the US it's US$25–55, in the UK £20–40, and in Taiwan NT$600–960.\n2. **Expect to pay more for exam and curriculum specialists.** IGCSE, A Levels, IB, AP, IELTS and SAT tutors typically ask more. Ask exactly which exam board or syllabus they cover.\n3. **Online widens your choice.** Two-thirds of TutorTime tutors teach online, and in-person tutors don't charge more than online tutors in the same country. If you're open to online lessons, filter by your time zone and budget.\n4. **Ask what the hourly rate includes:** lesson length, preparation, materials and cancellation terms. On TutorTime you pay the tutor directly and we take no cut, so the listed rate is the tutor's own.\n5. **Browse by subject and city:** [English in Taiwan](https://www.tutortime.study/find/english/taiwan) · [Maths in Taiwan](https://www.tutortime.study/find/mathematics/taiwan) · [Mandarin in Taiwan](https://www.tutortime.study/find/mandarin-chinese/taiwan) · [English in Taipei](https://www.tutortime.study/find/english/taipei) · [Maths in the UK](https://www.tutortime.study/find/mathematics/united-kingdom) · [English in the US](https://www.tutortime.study/find/english/united-states) · [Maths in Nigeria](https://www.tutortime.study/find/mathematics/nigeria) · [all online tutors](https://www.tutortime.study/online-tutors)\n\n### For tutors\n\n1. **Price against your own market, not the global figure.** Check the country and subject tables above.\n2. **New tutors start about a quarter below the local median.** After a couple of years, most tutors price at or above it. If you have experience, show it on your listing.\n3. **List the curricula you actually teach.** Tutors who list IGCSE, A Levels, IB or AP ask about 60% more than those who don't, in every market we could compare.\n4. **Listing on TutorTime is free and we take no commission,** so the rate you set is the rate you keep. [List yourself free](https://www.tutortime.study/list).\n\n## Methodology and limitations\n\n- **Source.** All public tutor listings shown on tutortime.study on **8 October 2026 (01:52 UTC)**: 163 listings, of which 162 had a valid hourly price. Company-managed listings are included. No other trimming or weighting is applied.\n- **What we measure.** Each tutor's **self-reported, advertised hourly asking rate** in the currency they chose. TutorTime charges no commission or service fee, so the figures contain no platform fees. They are **not** prices paid, negotiated quotes or invoices, and they may vary with lesson length, level or package.\n- **A sample, not a market average.** TutorTime tutors choose to list with us. Results describe TutorTime listings only and shouldn't be read as national averages. TutorTime launched publicly in August 2026, so the sample is young and small.\n- **Currencies.** Tutors can price in NT$, US$ or £. Local-currency figures for Taiwan, the US and the UK use only listings priced in that currency. For other markets, all listings are converted to US$. Conversions use the **U.S. Federal Reserve H.10 noon buying rates for 2 October 2026** (the latest available at the snapshot): [NT$32.01 per US$](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DEXTAUS) and [US$1.3234 per £](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DEXUSUK).\n- **Statistics and privacy rules.** We publish aggregates only. Every figure rests on **at least 5 priced listings**, and we show middle-half ranges (25th–75th percentile, linear interpolation, the same as Excel's QUARTILE.INC) only when a group has **at least 10**. We never publish minimums, maximums, names or listing text, so no individual tutor can be identified. Multi-subject tutors count in each subject group, so group counts don't sum.\n- **Country-adjusted comparisons.** For curriculum, experience, subject and format, each tutor's US$ price is divided by the median US$ price of their own country (eight markets, 140 listings). Each group's figure is the geometric mean of those ratios, expressed as a percentage above or below 1.\n- **Self-reported fields.** Location, subjects, curricula and teaching start year are entered by tutors and not verified by TutorTime. \"Experience\" is the snapshot year minus the year the tutor says they started teaching.\n- **Subject excluded: Public Speaking.** 37 of 162 priced listings (23%) tick \"Public Speaking\", but only 1 of those 37 mentions public speaking, speech, debate or presentations in their profile text. It isn't a pre-selected default on our listing form. We think many tutors tick it as a secondary skill rather than a subject they teach as a service. We've left it out of subject tables until we can verify it.\n- **Thin samples left out.** Subject–country groups with fewer than 5 priced listings aren't shown (e.g. Chemistry, IELTS and SAT in Taiwan; SAT and ACT in the US; Chemistry, Physics and Biology in the UK). Countries with fewer than 14 listings aren't reported individually but are included in global figures.\n- **Updates.** This page will be refreshed **monthly** from live listings using the same method. Figures can change as tutors join, leave or edit their listings. The aggregate data is in the [downloadable CSV](https://www.tutortime.study/research/tutor-rates-2026/data.json).\n\n## Cite this report\n\nSource: TutorTime Tutor Rates Report, Oct 2026, tutortime.study/research/tutor-rates-2026\n\nJournalists, bloggers and researchers are welcome to quote these figures with a link to this page.

Across 162 priced TutorTime listings in 24 countries, the median advertised rate was US$21.87/hr, and the middle half of tutors asked US$13–40. Medians ranged from US$9.50 in the Philippines to US$50 in the United States (snapshot 8 Oct 2026).\n\n**How much do tutors charge in the UK and the US?**\nOn TutorTime the median UK tutor asks £30/hr (middle half £20–40). The median US tutor asks US$50/hr (middle half US$25–55). These are fee-free asking rates from TutorTime listings, not national averages.\n\n**How much does a tutor cost in Taiwan?**\nThe median TutorTime tutor in Taiwan advertises NT$800 an hour, and the middle half ask NT$600–960. In Taipei the median is NT$900. Mandarin tutors are lowest at NT$650. ESL is highest at NT$850.\n\n**Do online tutors charge less than in-person tutors?**\nNot once you compare tutors within the same country. Raw medians look lower for online-only tutors only because many of them are based in lower-cost countries.\n\n**Are these the prices families actually pay?**\nNo. They are tutors' advertised hourly asking rates on TutorTime. Actual prices can differ with lesson length, packages and negotiation. Always confirm the rate with the tutor.\n\n## Sources\n\n- TutorTime public listings, snapshot 8 October 2026 (tutortime.study).\n- TutorLab, \"UK private tutor prices: published TutorLab profiles\",

NT$196，全台中位數約是它的 4.1 倍，台北約 4.6 倍。\n- **台灣各科中，ESL 最高（NT$850），華語最低（NT$650）。**英文和數學都是 NT$800。\n- **有標示國際課程（IGCSE、A Levels、IB、AP）的老師，開價比同一國家的其他老師高約 60%。**在可比較的 6 個國家都看得到這個差距，台灣是 NT$1,000 對 NT$700。\n- **國與國之間差距可達 5 倍：**美國中位數 US$50，菲律賓 US$9.50。全球 162 位老師的中位數為 US$21.87。\n\n## 台灣家教行情\n\n![台灣各科家教每小時開價中位數（新台幣）的長條圖：ESL 最高，為 NT$850；華語最低，為 NT$650；全台整體中位數為

[NT$196](https://english.mol.gov.tw/21139/40790/87087/) 來比，全台家教開價中位數大約是 4 倍。英文類（ESL、英文）的行情等於或高於全台中位數。華語家教則比中位數低 NT$150。另外，台灣是所有市場中最偏向實體課的：只有 17% 的台灣老師只上線上課，其他國家多半在 75% 以上。\n\n## 全球家教行情\n\n| 指標 | 數值

什麼因素影響開價？\n\n各國物價差太多，直接把全部老師放在一起比，看到的大多只是「老師住在哪裡」。所以我們把每位老師的開價拿去和**他所在國家的中位數**比較（8 個市場、140 筆刊登），再按群組平均。「+25%」代表這群老師的開價通常比同國家的中位數高 25%。\n\n### 標示國際課程：最明顯的加價因素\n\n| 群組 | 樣本數 | 相對同國家中位數 |\n|---|---|---|\n| 有標示 IGCSE、A Levels、IB 或 AP | 56 | **+25%** |\n| 沒有標示課程 | 84 | **−23%** |\n\n換算下來，有標示國際課程的老師開價大約**高出 60%**。在兩組都至少有 5 位老師的 6 個國家裡，結果都一樣：\n\n| 國家 | 有標示課程（中位數） | 未標示（中位數） |\n|---|---|---|\n| 台灣 | NT$1,000（7） | NT$700（17） |\n| 英國 | £37.50（10） | £20（7） |\n| 美國 | US$55（6） | US$40（13） |\n| 奈及利亞 | US$25（8） | US$15（11） |\n| 印度 | US$26.47（9） | US$10.29（8） |\n| 巴基斯坦 |

6%。](/research/tutor-rates-2026/experience-premium.zh-TW.png)\n\n| 教學年資 | 樣本數 | 相對同國家中位數 |\n|---|---|---|\n| 0–2 年 | 32 | −24% |\n| 3–5 年 | 23 | −6% |\n| 6–10 年 | 38 | −4% |\n| 11 年以上 | 47 | +6% |\n\n如果不校正國家差異，資深老師的開價看起來是新手的兩倍（US$30 對 US$15），但那主要是因為資深老師較多集中在高物價國家。在同一個國家裡，真正明顯的差距只出現在前兩年。\n\n### 各科加價（已校正國家差異）\n\n| 科目 | 樣本數 | 相對同國家中位數 |\n|---|---|---|\n| IELTS 雅思 | 19 | +27% |\n| 商業 | 10 | +19%

|\n\n檢定考試類（雅思、SAT）和商業科目有加價，理科則略低於中位數。\n\n### 線上 vs. 實體：同一國家內沒有差別\n\n只看原始數字，提供實體課的老師好像比較貴（US$24.99 對線上老師的 US$19.85）。但那是因為實體課老師多集中在台灣和美國。和同國家的老師相比，兩組都是 **−6%**，開價幾乎一樣。\n\n## 這份報告可以怎麼用？\n\n### 給家長和學生\n\n1. **先看當地中位數，再看中間 50% 區間。**在台灣，NT$600–960 涵蓋了一半的老師。開價明顯高於這個範圍時，可以問問老師的專長或經歷。\n2. **考試、國際課程老師通常比較貴。**請 IGCSE、IB、AP、雅思、SAT 老師時，記得確認對方熟悉哪一套課綱或考試。\n3. **線上課讓選擇變多。**TutorTime 有三分之二的老師只上線上課，而且同一國家內線上和實體的開價差不多。\n4. **問清楚時薪包含什麼：**一堂課多長、要不要另外付教材或備課費、取消怎麼算。在 TutorTime 上家長是直接付款給老師，我們不抽成。\n5. **直接找老師：**[台灣英文家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/english/taiwan)・[台灣數學家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/mathematics/taiwan)・[台灣華語家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/mandarin-chinese/taiwan)・[台北英文家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/english/taipei)・[台北數學家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/mathematics/taipei)・[台北家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/find/location/taipei)・[線上家教](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/online-tutors)\n\n### 給家教老師\n\n1. **用你所在的市場來訂價，不要看全球數字。**例如台北老師可以參考 NT$700–1,200 的區間。\n2. **新手老師的開價通常比當地中位數低約四分之一**，教了兩三年後大多會回到中位數上下。有經驗的話，記得寫在刊登頁上。\n3. **如果你真的教國際課程，請在刊登中勾選。**有標示 IGCSE、A Levels、IB、AP 的老師，開價高出約 60%。\n4. **在 TutorTime 刊登免費，也不抽成**，你訂多少就收多少。[免費刊登](https://www.tutortime.study/zh-TW/list)\n\n## 研究方法與限制\n\n- **資料來源：**2026 年 10 月 8 日上午 9:52（台北時間）tutortime.study 上所有公開的家教刊登，共 163 筆，其中 162 筆有有效時薪。沒有另外刪除極端值或加權。\n- **衡量的是什麼：**老師**自填的每小時開價**，用老師選的幣別。TutorTime 不收佣金或服務費，所以數字不含平台費用。這些**不是**家長實際付款、議價後的價格或發票金額，也可能依課程長度、程度或套裝方案而不同。\n- **是樣本，不是全國平均：**這些老師是自己選擇在 TutorTime 刊登的，結果只代表 TutorTime 的刊登，不能當作全國行情。TutorTime 2026 年 8 月才正式上線，樣本還小、還很新。\n- **幣別與匯率：**台灣、美國、英國的當地幣別數字，只採用以該幣別標價的刊登。其他國家一律換算成美元。匯率採[美國聯準會 H.10 的 2026 年 10 月 2 日報價](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DEXTAUS)（擷取時的最新資料）：1 美元 = NT$32.01，[1 英鎊 = US$1.3234](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DEXUSUK)。\n- **統計與隱私原則：**只公布彙總數字。每個數字背後**至少有 5 筆有標價的刊登**，中間 50% 區間（第 25–75 百分位，線性內插，同 Excel 的 QUARTILE.INC）只在**樣本 ≥10** 時列出。我們不公布最低價、最高價、姓名或刊登內容，不會讓任何一位老師被辨識出來。教多科的老師會在每一科都被計入一次，所以各科樣本數加總會超過總數。\n- **校正國家差異的比較方式：**比較課程、年資、科目、上課方式時，把每位老師的美元開價除以所在國家的美元中位數（8 個市場、140 筆），再取各群組的幾何平均，換算成高於或低於中位數的百分比。\n- **自填欄位：**地點、科目、課程、開始教學年份都是老師自己填的，TutorTime 沒有查證。「年資」是 2026 減去老師填的開始教學年份。\n- **排除「公眾演說」：**162 筆中有 37 筆（23%）勾選了「公眾演說」，但這 37 位老師中只有 1 位在自我介紹裡提到演說、辯論或簡報相關內容。這個選項在刊登表單上並不是預設勾選。我們認為很多老師是把它當成附帶技能，而不是主要教學科目，所以在查證之前先不放進各科統計。\n- **樣本太少的不公布：**某國某科不足 5 筆時不列出（例如台灣的化學、雅思、SAT）。刊登少於 14 筆的國家不單獨列出，但仍計入全球數字。\n- **更新頻率：**本頁每月依同樣方法、用最新刊登重新計算。老師加入、離開或修改刊登都會讓數字變動。彙總資料可[下載 CSV](https://www.tutortime.study/research/tutor-rates-2026/data.json)。\n\n## 引用本報告\n\n資料來源：TutorTime 家教行情報告（2026 年 10

略高（NT$850），華語家教最低（NT$650）。\n\n**有教 IB、AP 等國際課程的老師會比較貴嗎？**\n會。有標示 IGCSE、A Levels、IB 或 AP 的老師，開價比同一國家的其他老師高約 60%。在台灣，中位數是 NT$1,000 對 NT$700。\n\n**線上家教比較便宜嗎？**\n在同一個國家內比較，線上和實體老師的開價差不多。原始數字看起來線上比較便宜，主要是因為線上老師多來自物價較低的國家。\n\n**這些是家長實際付的價格嗎？**\n不是。這些是老師在 TutorTime 上的開價，實際價格可能因課程長度、套裝方案或議價而不同，請直接和老師確認。\n\n## 資料來源\n\n- TutorTime
