Hi guys. When I first began tutoring -- was still in college -- I charged like $10 an hr. Now that I've been teaching for 5 years, my rates have steadily increased. Here's what I charge: $20 for 30 min $30 for 45 min $35 for 1 hr For those of you who tutor, what do you charge? Are they pretty similar to my rates? The most I've heard teachers charging in my area is $45 an hr.
I charge $20/hr. Wages are not high in this area, so I don't want to go higher. Unfortunately, the ones who need the most help have trouble coming up with even that much.
$35/hr although I think next year I'll raise it to $40. That sounds like so much, but I figure I have an expertise just like a guitar teacher, etc.
$50 for at home tutoring, plus if the distance is farther than 20 miles some transportation costs $40 for online tutoring via Skype
I have gotten some requests for tutoring. People seem to want to pay ridiculously low amounts. $25 for 2 kids for an hour? Come on. Wouldn't be worth my time especially out of town. I would say $30 an hour but most people dont' want to pay it.
I'm going to try and tutor 3 kids this school year -- have been tutoring them all summer -- and also do an afterschool club. Might be stretching myself a bit thin but I need extra income right now. I can't believe I actually agreed to tutor the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I go back for preplanning. Most likely I'll leave to go tutor and then come back to work in my room. Craziness...
$70 per hour- I'm in Northern NJ. Teachers in my district generallly charge between $60-$70 per hour.
Some of the teachers I work with charge up to $100 per hour and they get it! I've never tutored outside of school, but I make $40 an hour for tutoring on the weekends for the school. I would probably charge $60.
I was shocked as well when I first started tutoring and learned the 'going rate' for my area. A colleague and I were discussing the rate and the conversation went like this: 'Cza, do you have your house cleaned? How much do you pay for that?OK, so you pay that to have your house dusted, straightened and vacuumed- you are teaching kids to read, preparing them for standardized tests, helping them over-come struggles with academics...$70 kind of seems worth it then, right?' It does make a huge difference in my 'bottom line' and helps a lot with one kid just out of college and the next one in...I'm very thankful for the opportunity to help the students I tutor and I'm pleased that my efforts not only help those students, but my family.
I'm in the Chicago area, and I charge $30. I'm told that's on the lower side here, but not unreasonably so.
The last student I tutored I charged $20 an hour b/c both her parents were teachers and I wasn't going anywhere (we did it at the end of the school day).
I'm in math in So Cal and while I was working on my undergrad degree I charged $30/hr or $25 if 3 hours or more were guaranteed a week. I haven't tutored since I graduated but I knew some recent math graduates receiving around $60/hr. People who charged $40 got more hours though.
