IELTS Coaching Costs in the UK
| Coaching Type | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| In person group courses | 150 to 400+ pounds a week |
| Online group or monthly subscription | 145 to 350 pounds a month |
| Private one on one tutoring | 12 to 40+ pounds an hour |

Extra Costs to Budget For
Remember that coaching fees usually do not include your official exam fee, which depends on whether you take Academic, General Training or IELTS for UKVI. Some schools include course books in their fees, while others charge an extra 40 to 90 pounds separately for textbooks and registration materials.
My Advice
If your budget is tight, look at private tutoring in bulk packages or an online subscription first, since these tend to cost less than intensive in person courses in cities like London, and always ask upfront whether materials and the exam fee are included.
