The rest of the Ayr market splits the way it does across Scotland. Online marketplaces list local and remote tutors from about £20 an hour, with reviews public and the vetting left to you. At the top end, a small band of premium independents charge £68 to £100 an hour; our independent tutors guide covers what that money buys and when a company at half the rate is the smarter call.

The picture holds across Prestwick, Troon and Maybole too. Where no home tutor is available near you, online sessions carry the same SQA specialists to any address in the Ayrshire coast; the full cost picture is in our price guide.
