Ruangguru Private Tutoring Prices 2026 Explained for Parents

Ruangguru private tutoring prices for primary school children, checked on 28 October 2026, start at Rp 175,000 per session on the Ruangguru Privat maths page, with each session lasting 90 minutes. The main Ruangguru Privat catalogue lists primary maths at a promotional "from" price of Rp 180,000 (regular price Rp 250,000). Brain Academy, Ruangguru's group tutoring centre, does not publish package prices on its website. Below: a price table by subject, what the package includes, and how to work out a monthly budget.

How much Ruangguru Privat costs for primary school

Ruangguru Privat shows "from" prices per subject, and the final price depends on the package size you buy.

We copied the table below from the catalogue at ruangguru.com/privat on 28 October 2026, keeping only subjects open to primary school (SD) levels or ages. The catalogue cards do not state the price unit. The maths subject page states the price per session and a 90-minute session length.

Subject	Level or age	Format on card	Regular price	Promo "from" price
Maths	SD, SMP, SMA	Online	Rp 250,000	Rp 180,000
English	SD, SMP, SMA	Online	Rp 250,000	Rp 180,000
Integrated Science (IPA Terpadu)	SD, SMP	Online	Rp 250,000	Rp 180,000
Calistung (reading, writing, counting)	Pre-school, SD	Online	Rp 375,000	Rp 275,000
Maths Olympiad	SD, SMP, SMA	Online	Rp 360,000	Rp 255,000
Scratch (kids coding)	Ages 5-12	Online	Rp 360,000	Rp 230,000

Source: ruangguru.com/privat, accessed 28 October 2026. Promo prices carry discount labels of 27% to 36% and a countdown timer.

The page ruangguru.com/privat/matematika gives a slightly different figure: "from Rp175,000/session" for a 90-minute session, online or offline. The same page also has an FAQ section listing other, lower rates. With three different figures on the official site, go by the price shown on the payment page before you pay.

What the Ruangguru Privat price includes

The Ruangguru Privat price covers one-to-one sessions with a tutor you pick through privat.ruangguru.com, plus some study tools.

The official Ruangguru Privat pages (accessed 28 October 2026) state the following:

Session length: 90 minutes (maths page).
Format: online by video call on the Ruangguru Privat platform, or face to face at home. For home visits, Ruangguru notes that tutor availability is limited and suggests confirming through its official WhatsApp first.
Tutor: chosen by the student to fit the schedule. If no slot fits, the operations team helps within 5x24 hours. Tutors can be swapped under the stated policy.
Package extras: the maths page mentions tryouts, videos and progress reports.
Studying with friends: 3 students pay for 2, and 4 or 5 students pay for 3.
Package validity: packages under 8 meetings must be used within 2 months of the first session, under 16 meetings within 3 months, under 24 meetings within 4 months.

The public pages do not show how many sessions the cheapest package contains or its total cost. Package details sit on the payment page at bayar.ruangguru.com, which we could not open during our check. Ask for the package total before paying.

Brain Academy: what is published

Brain Academy is Ruangguru's classroom tutoring service, and as of 28 October 2026 the brainacademy.id website does not list package prices.

The site asks parents to leave a WhatsApp number to claim a discount. Its FAQ does publish these terms:

Item	What brainacademy.id says
Brain Academy Center levels	Grade 4 SD to grade 12 SMA, plus alumni
Format	Face-to-face and online classes
Class size	No more than 25 students per class
Trial class	Available, via a sign-up form and a branch visit
Instalments	2 to 3 instalments
Promotions	Discounts for siblings, high achievers, teachers' children and students switching tutoring centres

Because the price is not published, this article gives no figure for Brain Academy. For children in grades 1 to 3, Brain Academy Center is not an option according to that FAQ, since its service starts at grade 4.

Parents comparing tutoring costs at a home table with a calculator

How to work out the monthly cost

The monthly cost is the per-session rate times sessions per week times 4, checked against the package you actually have to buy.

Note the per-session rate on the payment page, not the promo banner.
Ask for the minimum number of sessions in a package and the upfront total.
Pick a frequency: once or twice a week.
Check the package validity. An 8-session package that must be used within 2 months works out to about once a week.
Add any extra costs, such as transport for home sessions.

Example for an Algonova group class at the starting rate of Rp 102,000 per session: once a week comes to Rp 408,000 for 4 sessions, twice a week to Rp 816,000 for 8 sessions. The final price depends on the class and session length you choose. Our guide on how many tutoring sessions a week a primary child needs helps you pick the frequency.

How it compares with Algonova online classes

Ruangguru Privat and Algonova group classes are different formats, so the table below puts the same criteria side by side to make the differences visible.

Criterion	Ruangguru Privat (primary maths)	Algonova (maths, group class)
Subject	National curriculum maths, plus many other subjects	Maths (coding and design in separate programmes)
Session length	90 minutes	45, 60 or 90 minutes
One-to-one or group	One-to-one (with a study-with-friends option for 3 to 5)	Group of up to 10 children
Online or offline	Online video call; home visits with limited availability	Online
Published price	From Rp 175,000 per session (maths page) or from Rp 180,000 (catalogue, promo)	From Rp 102,000 per session
Sessions and package total	Not shown on public pages, shown at checkout	Example: 4 sessions Rp 408,000, 8 sessions Rp 816,000 (at the starting rate)
What is included	Choice of tutor, tutor swap, tryouts, videos, progress reports	Live tutor, trial class with a maths diagnostic
Trial class	Not mentioned on the Ruangguru Privat pages	Free, diagnostic of about 60 minutes

This is not a like-for-like comparison. Private tutoring gives one child a tutor's full attention, while a group class shares the tutor's time among several children at a lower price per session. If your child is far behind or shy, one-to-one often fits better. If your child needs routine and classmates, a group class may be enough. Our article on private tutoring versus tutoring centres goes into more detail.

Questions to ask before you buy a package

Before paying for any tutoring package, get written answers to these six questions.

What is the upfront total, and how many sessions does it cover?
How long is the package valid, and what happens to unused sessions?
Does the promo price apply when you renew?
How long is one session, and is it the same online and face to face?
How do you change tutors or reschedule?
Are there other costs, such as transport or materials?

For a full checklist, see our guide to choosing online tutoring for primary school. For freelance and agency tutor rates, see private tutoring costs for primary school in 2026.

Compare the package total you actually pay, not the smallest number on the banner. A per-session rate only means something once you know how many sessions you must buy.

Questions About Ruangguru Prices

How much does Ruangguru Privat cost per session for primary school?

As of 28 October 2026, the Ruangguru Privat maths page lists prices from Rp 175,000 per session, with 90-minute sessions. The main catalogue shows primary maths at a promotional price from Rp 180,000, down from a regular Rp 250,000. "From" prices usually apply to a particular package, since Ruangguru says bigger packages get bigger discounts. Other primary subjects such as English and Integrated Science show the same catalogue figures as maths, and Calistung starts at Rp 275,000. Check the payment page before you pay, because the promotion runs on a timer.

How much does Brain Academy cost?

The official brainacademy.id site does not list package prices as of 28 October 2026. Parents are asked to leave a WhatsApp number to get an offer and a discount. The site does publish its terms: Brain Academy Center serves grade 4 SD to grade 12 SMA and alumni, runs face-to-face and online classes, caps classes at 25 students, offers 2 to 3 instalments, and gives discounts to siblings, high achievers, teachers' children and students switching from another centre. Since the price is not public, ask for a written breakdown of the total, the number of meetings and the study period before enrolling.

How long is a Ruangguru Privat session?

The Ruangguru Privat maths page states 90 minutes per session, online or offline. For children in grades 1 to 3, 90 minutes is long, so ask whether the session can include a break or be split. Online sessions run by video call on the Ruangguru Privat platform. Face-to-face sessions take place at home, and Ruangguru notes that home tutors are limited. For comparison, Algonova classes come in 45, 60 or 90 minutes, so parents of younger primary children can choose a shorter session.

Can Ruangguru Privat tutors come to my home?

Yes, according to the FAQ on ruangguru.com/privat, but home tutor availability is limited. Ruangguru suggests contacting the official Ruangguru Privat WhatsApp first to confirm there is a tutor in your area. The catalogue prices on the main page are marked "Online", so ask whether the home-visit rate is the same. Allow time for booking too: face-to-face orders go through a confirmation step before payment. If home tutors are hard to find in your city, online sessions are the more realistic choice.

How much is Ruangguru private tutoring per month?

The monthly cost depends on the per-session rate and the number of sessions per week, so there is no single official monthly figure. The formula is rate per session times sessions per week times 4. The public Ruangguru Privat pages do not show how many sessions the cheapest package holds, so you can only work out an exact monthly total after seeing the package at checkout. Watch the validity period as well: packages under 8 meetings must be used within 2 months of the first session. For Algonova group classes, the example is Rp 408,000 for 4 sessions and Rp 816,000 for 8 sessions at the starting rate of Rp 102,000.

Is there a discount for studying with friends at Ruangguru?

Yes, according to the FAQ on the Ruangguru Privat maths page as of 28 October 2026. Three students pay the price of two, and four or five students pay the price of three. This turns private tutoring into a small group, so the tutor's attention is shared. It suits siblings or classmates at a similar level. If the children's levels differ a lot, the session may move too slowly for the faster one. Ask whether this discount can be combined with the current package promotion.

What is the difference between private tutoring and a group class for primary school?

Private tutoring means one tutor for one child, while a group class means one tutor for several children on the same schedule. Private tutoring suits children who are far behind, shy, or need very specific material. A group class suits children who need routine and classmates, usually at a lower price per session. At Algonova, group classes have up to 10 children with a live tutor. The easiest way to decide is to do a diagnostic or trial class first and pick the format based on the result.

How can I check the latest Ruangguru prices?

Open ruangguru.com/privat for Ruangguru Privat and brainacademy.id for Brain Academy, then choose your child's subject and level. The final price, including the number of sessions in the package, appears on the payment page. Promo pages use countdown timers, so prices can change within days. Take screenshots of the price and package details before paying. For questions the site does not answer, use the official Ruangguru help channels listed on those pages. We checked the figures in this article on 28 October 2026, and they may differ when you read it.
