If you home educate in England, you’ll know the particular ache of wanting your child to have brilliant teaching and a bit of social connection — without the price tag of private tutoring or the pressure of a formal classroom. The £2 Tuition Hub was built by a home ed mum solving exactly that problem, and it’s become one of the best-kept secrets in the home education world.
Live and recorded classes across a huge range of subjects, taught by qualified teachers and genuine experts, for £2 a class. No cameras or microphones required if your child isn’t ready for that. Recordings that stay on your dashboard forever. It’s the kind of resource that quietly takes a lot of pressure off a home ed parent’s shoulders.
What Is The £2 Tuition Hub?
The £2 Tuition Hub is a home-ed-run community offering live and pre-recorded tuition classes for £2 each. It was founded by Amy, a home educating mum, and is now run day-to-day by a small team of fellow home ed parents — Colette and Leigh handle the running of things, Angie, Claire and Abbie moderate classes, and Hannah and Lydia run social “pods” alongside the academic offering.
There are three ways to access the teaching:
- Live classes — join in real time if there’s space on the timetable
- Past classes — recordings of previous live sessions, available to catch up on anytime
- Pre-recorded “anytime” classes — self-paced sessions with just the teacher, for children who prefer to learn independently
Recordings stay on your dashboard permanently and can be downloaded, which is a genuinely thoughtful touch for families without reliable wifi, or for children who like to rewatch a topic while revising. There’s also a strand of AQA Unit Award classes, giving children a recognised, accredited way to show what they’ve achieved outside the exam system.
Why This Matters If You Home Educate
Two of the biggest worries we hear from families in the Circle are cost and confidence — the cost of GCSE tuition, and the confidence to put a child in front of a teacher when group settings or performing on camera haven’t always felt easy for them.
The £2 Tuition Hub was built with both of those worries in mind. Classes don’t require a camera or microphone to be switched on, so there’s no pressure to perform or interact before a child is ready. For children who find sitting one-to-one with a tutor intimidating, or who need to ease into group learning at their own pace, that low-pressure structure can make all the difference between a subject they dread and one they genuinely look forward to.
It’s also worth knowing about if you ever hit that familiar “am I doing enough?” wobble. Having subject specialists explain topics you might not feel confident teaching yourself — taught by people who are either qualified teachers or genuine experts in their field — can take a huge amount of pressure off a parent-led education.
How To Join
Getting started is straightforward:
- Choose your format — decide whether live classes (or their recordings) or pre-recorded anytime classes suit your child best, and check the current timetable
- Set up your account — follow the Hub’s booking steps to create your account and book your first class
- Join the community — the Hub’s Facebook group is where new classes are announced and families share what their children have been working on
The Bottom Line
Genuinely affordable, expert-led tuition that puts a child’s wellbeing before performance is rare — and rarer still when it’s been built by someone who understands home education from the inside. If cost or confidence has been holding you back from group tuition, The £2 Tuition Hub is well worth a look.
