Pricing FAQs

Q: How does The Princeton Review price services?

A: We offer a range of products and services from books and online tutorials that do not include an instructor to classroom courses and tutoring that includes one of our private instructors.  Our online tutorials that feature videos and practice questions are the same price across the country.  Services such as tutoring which includes an instructor are priced by four geographic areas based on the costs of hiring great tutors and local competition.

Q:  How are prices set for tutoring services?  

A:  The Princeton Review offers four different prices for our tutoring services (offered both in person and online) based entirely on the geographical region in which the service is offered.  About 75% of the country is at our base price.  

Q:  Why do services cost more in certain cities?

A:   Our pricing is based on the differential costs of finding and paying great tutors as well as local competition.

Q:  Why are online and in person tutoring the same price?

A:  Our private tutoring services match a great local tutor to a student based on the student’s needs and schedule.  Tutors may work with a student across the kitchen table or online – whatever is more convenient for the student.  The service offered is exactly the same and so is the price.

Q:  Do certain groups of people pay more for tutoring?

A:  No.  The only thing we take into account when setting our pricing is the geographic area where a family lives.

Q:  How can we find out more about your pricing?

A:   All of our pricing is displayed right on our web site making it easy for families to compare services and make the right decision for their needs.
