How much do private lessons cost for students based in Jerusalem?

Spires provide premium online private lessons via a marketplace where tutors set their own rates through a sealed-bid auction. Typical starting rates are:

£30 per hour for school-level tuition (GCSE, A-Level, IB, IGCSE etc.)
£40 per hour for undergraduate university tuition
£50 per hour for Master’s/Postgraduate study, professional and chartered examination preparation, and university admissions support
