Online Tutoring in Canada: Cost and Options in 2026
What online tutoring costs in Canada and how to pick the right format.
Online tutoring in Canada costs roughly CAD $19-$35/hour for high-school subjects, CAD $35-$65/hour for undergraduate courses, and CAD $65-$120/hour for graduate work, professional exams, and specialised subjects. Group rates run 30-50% lower; package pricing typically saves another 10-20% over single-session rates.
Formats: 1-on-1 live video, small-group sessions, on-demand chat tutoring, and async homework review. Each suits a different budget and learning style.
Pricing drivers: tutor credentials (PhD vs. peer tutor), subject scarcity (organic chemistry costs more than English), urgency, and whether the platform charges a service fee on top of the tutor's rate.
Free options worth trying first: TVO Mathify (Ontario K-12 math), university writing centres, and provincial library tutoring partnerships.
Red flags when shopping: no Canadian-tax-receipt option, no trial session, no public tutor profile, no refund policy.
