Europe's tutoring boom: Math demand surges 194% as exams drive private lessons
Demand for tutoring has risen sharply across Europe and Russia in recent years. Parents and students are increasingly turning to private lessons, driven by higher education expectations and awareness. The trend spans both in-person and online formats, with some subjects seeing particularly strong growth.
The biggest surge in requests came from students preparing for the Unified State Exam (USE). Math tutoring saw the most dramatic increase, with vacancies jumping by 194%. Average monthly pay for math tutors now stands at 37,765 rubles.
Physics tutoring demand more than tripled, while computer science rose by 78%. Geography, biology, and social studies each grew by around 70%, with chemistry up by 39% and history by 16%. Russian language tutoring also climbed by 44%.
Online learning formats have become far more popular. Hybrid options, such as recorded lectures and webinars, saw a 71% rise in demand. Students now frequently combine live sessions with pre-recorded materials.
Tutors specialising in advanced-level exams experienced a 7% increase in requests, while basic-level demand grew by 6%. Earnings vary widely depending on region, subject, and experience. Many tutors work flexible or part-time hours, with income influenced by the number of students and teaching format.
The private tutoring market continues to expand, particularly in subjects like math. In England and Wales, the share of students aged 11–16 using tutors rose from 20% to 27%. Similar growth is expected in Greece, Romania, and Russia as more families seek extra academic support.
