Paying
How paying works
- Free assessment. A UK teacher meets your child online at a time agreed in Hong Kong time, and we find out what to work on first.
- Written plan and price. We send the plan, the teacher we suggest and the exact hourly price in pounds. Nothing is booked until you agree.
- Pay in pounds. You pay through TutorCruncher, our booking platform. Your bank converts the payment to Hong Kong dollars; ask it whether it charges for paying in pounds.
- Pause or stop any time. There is no contract. Tell us before a holiday or exam leave and we pause the lessons.
Questions about prices
Why are prices in pounds and not Hong Kong dollars?
Brainhub is a UK company, so we bill in pounds (£). The Hong Kong dollar figures are a guide using the Wise mid-market rate on the date shown. Your bank’s rate on the day decides what you pay in Hong Kong dollars.
How much is an online IGCSE tutor for a family in Hong Kong?
IGCSE lessons start at £40 an hour (about HK$415) with a specialist tutor, or £50 (about HK$520) with a PGCE-qualified teacher. You get the exact price in your written plan after the free assessment.
Are there any joining or admin fees?
No. There are no registration, joining, platform or admin fees, and no contract. You pay for lessons only, and the first assessment is free.
Is the price the same as in the UK?
No. Online lessons for families outside the UK cost our UK online price plus £10 an hour. The discounts are the same: 5% off for 3 or more subjects, 5% off for 3 hours a week, and small discounts for paying monthly or for the school year.
How much are IB lessons?
We help with the IB subject by subject. Tell us the subject and level (Higher or Standard) at the free assessment; if we have a UK teacher who teaches it, the exact hourly price is in your written plan. If we don’t, we tell you plainly.
