How much would you pay...

[MushyMushy]

for a certified teacher to come into your home and tutor?

 

[a1tinkfans]

By us it depends on subject, but for younger kids they take about $35 30 minutes, HS was $45 for same time....(usually cash!)

 

[MushyMushy]

The reason I'm asking is, in the past several months I've had people ask me to come into their homes to teach them basic computing and said they'd pay me. I always shrugged it off. Then more recently I had someone asking me to tutor his daughter in reading.

I might be able to make a little pocket money out of this.

Generally you go to the tutors home. My HS dd had a lot of math tutoring and they were teacher's at her high school.

She did back to back tutoring during the week.

We paid 45.00 per hour once a week.

 

[MushyMushy]

Holy crap!

And here I was thinking $10 an hour!

I actually did sit down and tutor a girl last night and got about $20 an hour for that. I helped her with her 10th grade literature. Her dad wants me to keep coming back and I only really did it as a favor to him.

I'm paying a tutor $45/hour for Pre-Calc. Make sure if you go the tutoring route that you have all the possible local licensing/legal stuff taken care of, you might need to get a business license even if you go to people's homes.

Mushy, I think tutoring sounds like a GREAT idea as a business for you. I mean, you're even a certified teacher in your state, right?

And if you only had 4 hours of tutoring/week at, let's say anywhere from $25-$50/hour you could be making $100 to $200 a week and UP.

That would buy a pretty big pocket .

agnes!

10.00 an hour would not be worth your time or gas. Plus if you want to make real money you need to have a steady stream of clients.

I know the teachers at my dd's former HS did tutoring as a second income.

Now they were selective and by the end of the first week of school they had booked their clients for the semester.

I was going to say the going rate is about $20/30 minutes, so about $40/hour. It's a good gig if you can get enough students. Our school is pretty good about allowing people to do this at the school so a lot of people do their tutoring right after school AT school. We have an activity bus that can take kids home at 5:00 if needed so that helps too. Most of the private lessons for band are held at the school too.

Personally I would NOT go into other people's homes to do this. Rent a space at a community center or something if you have to but there is the safety factor too.

In our area its $40-$50/hour

 

[agnes!]

My DD goes to her tutor's home.

agnes!

$10 an hour? You definitely deserve more than that! I'd say at least $40 an hour. Although, I don't think I'd charge anything less than what I get paid per hour at work.

 

[puffkin]

For the subjects you have been approached to tutor, I would say about $20/30 minutes if they come to your home. Math tutors or more advanced subjects I would think more! I would add $10/30 minutes if you were travelling to their home.

I made $25/half-hour 15 years ago. Don't sell yourself short.

My ds getting free tutoring through the school right now, but I've had an offer of a previous teacher's assistant who is now tutoring as her job to tutor at the library for $20/hr one or twice a week if I needed additional time for him. I think that price is pretty reasonable.

I hired a certified teacher to tutor DS in spanish last year, and I know a couple of elementary school teachers who moonlight as reading tutors. The going rate for certified teacher tutors here is $60 per hour.

It is a LOT here. My friend is a HS math teacher and he gets $100/hour to tutor over the summer.

My friend has a tutor for her young grammar school son during the summer and they get $60/hour.

I am praying my kids never need tutoring!

$60 per hour is what I pay as well. DS has had a tutor since GR-2 and he is now a freshman in high school. Many tutors in my area utilize conference rooms in our library. I have also had tutors come to my house but I have never brough him to someone else's home.

We recently paid $25/hr for a graduate student to tutor our son in spanish 3.

DD16 gets $20/hour tutoring 6th grade math.

 

[Gabes_mommy]

I tutored a lot when I taught middle school and I charged $35 an hour. The students came to me though. If I went to them I would increase it to $45 - $50 an hour.
