Industry overview
vServe connects families with K-12 tutors for Math, Physics, Chemistry, Literature and English, from primary school through Grade-10 entrance exams, national high school exams and IELTS prep, at home, online or hybrid. Reference prices range from 120,000 VND per 60-minute session to từ 300.000đ for IELTS, with instant booking or custom quotes for long-term packages, starting in Ho Chi Minh City.
When do you need a K-12 tutor
Parents usually look for a tutor when a child falls behind on core concepts, scores under 6/10 on two or three consecutive tests, or needs to prepare for the Grade-10 entrance exam or national high school exam within the next 3-6 months. For primary students, one 90-minute session per week is often enough to reinforce Math or Vietnamese; secondary and high school students facing transition exams typically need 2-3 sessions per week, 90-120 minutes each, over 2-4 months so the tutor can close knowledge gaps and practice with past exam papers.
Choosing a tutor by subject and grade level
For primary school, prioritize a tutor experienced with young children and a patient teaching style; the reference price is 150,000 VND per 90-minute home session. From secondary school onward, choose a tutor for the exact exam subject (Math, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, English) at 180,000-220,000 VND per session depending on grade level. Specialized prep like IELTS/TOEFL or Grade-10 entrance exams requires a tutor with real exam-coaching experience, not just subject knowledge, priced around 350,000-từ 300.000đ per session.
Home, online or hybrid learning
Primary Math tutoring and skill-based classes (piano, drawing, chess) are usually held at home for equipment and space reasons. Conversational English works well fully online via video call, saving travel time. Secondary and high school subjects plus exam prep typically use a hybrid model: an initial in-person session to assess the student, followed by flexible online or in-home sessions that fit both tutor and student schedules, supporting a steady 2-3 sessions per week.
Booking a tutor on vServe
Parents select a service by subject and grade level, either booking at the listed price or requesting a quote for larger packages such as gifted-student coaching or study-abroad application prep. Instant-booking services (primary Math, conversational English, secondary/high school subjects) can have their first session scheduled the same day. Monthly small-group packages (2-4 students, từ 1.800.000đ for 8 sessions) or semester-long packages for schools require discussing schedule and student count before finalizing.
What to check before hiring a tutor in Vietnam
vServe verifies the identity of businesses and individuals through tax codes or business registration certificates, but does not check teaching degrees, pedagogy certificates, or cross-reference tutors against Ministry of Education lists. Parents should proactively ask tutors about qualifications and real exam-coaching results, such as the tutor's own IELTS score or past students' achievements, before signing a long-term contract or paying for a full semester package worth tens of millions of dong.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 1-on-1 home tutor cost per session?
Primary Math tutoring at home has a reference price of 150,000 VND per 90-minute session, while secondary-level subject tutoring is 180,000 VND and high-school-level is 220,000 VND per session (90 minutes), charged per subject. These are reference prices for the Ho Chi Minh City market and can vary based on the tutor's experience and the complexity of the learning plan.
Is online tutoring cheaper than in-home tutoring?
Yes, conversational English tutoring online has a reference price of 120,000 VND per 60-minute session, lower than the 150,000-250,000 VND range for in-home services since there's no travel cost involved. However, for hands-on skills like piano, drawing or chess, in-home tutoring is still more practical despite the higher price.
When should Grade-10 entrance exam prep start and how much does it cost?
Grade-10 entrance exam prep has a reference price starting at từ 250.000đ per 120-minute session, and should ideally start 3-6 months before the exam so the tutor has time to cover the full curriculum and practice with past papers. If less than a month remains, a crash-course day package at từ 800.000đ per day (240 minutes) can help speed up review.
How much does IELTS/TOEFL tutoring cost?
IELTS/TOEFL tutoring has a reference starting price of từ 300.000đ per 90-minute session. This rate applies to tutors with real exam-coaching experience; students should ask about the tutor's own IELTS score and past students' results before committing to a long-term course.
Is small-group monthly tutoring cheaper than 1-on-1 lessons?
Yes, a small-group tutoring package for 2-4 students costs từ 1.800.000đ for 8 sessions of 90 minutes per month, roughly 375,000 VND per session for the whole group, much cheaper than 1-on-1 tutoring for the same number of sessions. This format suits students of similar level who want to study together with friends.
Does vServe check tutors' teaching degrees or certifications?
No. vServe only verifies the identity of businesses or individuals through tax codes and business registration certificates; it does not check teaching degrees, pedagogy certificates, or cross-reference tutors against Ministry of Education and Training lists. Parents should ask tutors directly for degrees, certificates or proof of results before signing a contract, especially for higher-value packages.
How much does a learning assessment and personalized roadmap cost, and why does the price vary so much?
This service has a reference price of 800,000 – 5,000,000 VND per package, with the range depending on how many subjects are assessed (one subject vs. the full curriculum), how in-depth the initial testing is, and whether it includes a direct consultation with a specialist. Small packages covering 1-2 subjects usually run 800,000-1,500,000 VND, while comprehensive multi-subject packages can reach 5,000,000 VND.
Do study-abroad application coaching and full-semester school/corporate tutoring packages have fixed prices?
No, both services use a quote-based model since the scope of work varies widely. Study-abroad application coaching ranges from 2,000,000 to 30,000,000 VND per package depending on the number of schools applied to and whether interview coaching is included; full-semester tutoring packages for schools or companies range from 20,000,000 to 300,000,000 VND per semester depending on the number of classes, students and subjects taught.
