It wouldn't be far off. I used to be a private tutor in Nicosia - the going rate a few years ago was 20Cypriot pounds and hour which is c35Euro. The parents of my tutees (I only needed a couple to keep my head above water) were paying out c.2000 Euros a year for just one subject. A typical student would do English 4 times a week, maths 5 times a week, another foreign language a couple of times a week, science 4 times a week and perhaps a humanity a couple of times a week. Then there would be tennis lessons on Saturdays too. It all mounts up. That's c. 17 private lessons a week. Even if we half the tuition fees for the other subjects (English tutors may be more expensive, I don't know what the others were charging) or just concentrate on a few subjects, we're still looking at a couple of hundred Euros a week. Most parents would take out loans to pay for the extra tuition needed to get IGCSEs and A levels. The strange thing was that some of my students were from private schools <snip> and were disinterested anyway, because they knew the hard work came in the afternoons and evenings when they saw their private tutors one-to-one). So these parents were paying a fortune for morning school AND hiring a battery of expensive private tutors.
