Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register as self-employed to tutor privately?

If you earn more than £1,000 per tax year from tutoring, you must register as self-employed with HMRC and file a Self Assessment return. Even below this threshold, keeping proper invoices is good practice for tracking your income.

Should I invoice per lesson or monthly?

Both approaches work well. Per-lesson invoicing is simpler for ad-hoc students, while monthly invoicing reduces admin for regular students. Many tutors offer a small discount for monthly payment to encourage commitment and improve cash flow.

Do I need to charge VAT on tutoring fees?

Private tuition in a subject ordinarily taught in school or university is exempt from VAT. This means most tutoring is VAT-exempt regardless of your turnover. However, corporate training, life coaching, or non-academic subjects may not qualify for the exemption.

What should I include on a tutoring invoice?

Include the student's name (or a reference), dates and times of lessons, subjects covered, your hourly rate, total amount due, and your payment terms. Adding your DBS certificate reference can also build trust with parents.
