Maths is the subject parents look for tutoring in most often. Sometimes it is about catching up after an illness, sometimes about preparing for entrance exams (přijímačky) or the school-leaving exam (maturita). Adults look for tutoring too, for example before a university exam.
Prices differ more than you might expect. A student who sat their own maturita recently will ask for a different amount than a teacher with many years of practice. Both can make sense, it depends on what you need.
What an hour of maths tutoring costs
The ranges are for a sixty-minute one-to-one lesson. If a tutor offers 45-minute lessons, the price is usually lower in proportion.
| Level | Typical price (2026) |
|---|---|
| Primary school, years 1–5 (1. stupeň) | 250–350 Kč/h |
| Lower secondary, years 6–9 (2. stupeň), and entrance exams | 300–450 Kč/h |
| Secondary school and maturita | 350–500 Kč/h |
| University | 400–600 Kč/h |
| Online lessons | often a little cheaper |
Typical market ranges in 2026. They vary by city and job and are for orientation only, not SkillNav prices.
What affects the price
- The tutor's experience. A student is usually cheaper; a teacher with experience, or a tutor who focuses on entrance exams, costs more.
- The level of the material. The higher the year and the harder the topics, the higher the rate.
- Location. If the tutor comes to your home, they often add travel time. Online or at the tutor's place is usually cheaper.
- Timing. Before entrance exams and the maturita, tutors are in demand and free slots run out.
- Learning in pairs. Siblings or friends who learn together each pay less than for a lesson of their own.
Preparing for entrance exams and the maturita
Most pupils prepare for the standard maths entrance exam for several months, typically once a week from autumn to spring. Count on roughly 15 to 25 lessons. A tutor who knows the format of the tests and can practise working against the clock with your child is usually a bit more expensive, but the preparation is more focused.
For the maturita, it matters whether the student takes maths in the common (state) part or the school part. It is worth starting at least half a year ahead and not leaving revision to the last month.
How to choose a tutor
Start by agreeing one trial lesson. You will see right away whether the tutor gets on with your child and can explain things differently from how school does it.
Ask what experience they have, how they will plan the lessons and how they will keep you informed about progress. A good tutor tells you at the start what they will focus on and shows what has improved after a few weeks.
When tutoring children, one simple rule applies: agree where the lessons take place and whether an adult is at home during them. It is safer and more comfortable for both the child and the tutor.
What to agree beforehand
- The length of a lesson (45 or 60 minutes) and its price.
- Where you learn: at your place, at the tutor's, or online.
- How and by when lessons can be cancelled, and what you pay for a late cancellation.
- How and when you pay: after each lesson, or monthly in advance.
