Bucharest’s tutoring market is vast and diverse, shaped by the needs of parents and students aiming for strong academic results. In 2025, prices are higher than in previous years, but the range of options has also expanded – from independent teachers to specialized centers with structured programs.

Independent teachers remain the first choice for many families. Platforms such as anunturi-meditatii.ro or cautmeditator.ro are full of listings from teachers who hold classes in their own homes, at the student’s place, or online. Prices vary significantly, between 70 and 150 RON per hour, depending on the subject, the teacher’s experience, and the student’s level. For example, a teacher in Sector 6 charges 80 RON for a 60-minute English or French session, and 120 RON for a 90-minute extended class. For subjects like mathematics, physics, or biology—especially for high-stakes Bacalaureate preparation—fees often reach 100–120 RON per hour.

Tutoring centers offer a more structured alternative. They provide long-term packages with clear planning, feedback, and progress monitoring. At the Centrul de Meditații și Dezvoltare Personală, for instance, a medium Bacalaureate package costs around 2,900 RON for 33 sessions, which comes to about 88 RON per class. The maxi package, with 63 sessions, starts at 5,000 RON, reducing the average cost per class to roughly 79 RON. These formulas attract families looking for predictability and a stable, professional framework.

The choice between hiring an independent tutor or enrolling in a center largely depends on needs and budget. If a child only requires extra help with a specific subject, private lessons offer more flexibility. If the goal is intensive exam preparation, a center provides structure, consistency, and regular evaluation.

In 2025, tutoring in Bucharest is no longer just an option but almost a necessity for many students, especially in an education system often perceived as uneven. Whether you pay 80 RON for an hour with an independent teacher or thousands of RON for a long-term program at a center, the pressure to perform—and the parents’ determination to support their children—remains just as strong.
