Question about tutors.

[njsweetP]

My DD (who will be a Freshman this Fall) was asked if she could tutor a child going into 6th grade for Math (for the summer). What is the going rate for tutors? This is the first time she will be doing this sort of thing,

Anywhere from $30-60 per hour. My MIL is a pre-school teacher but tutors kids from 1st-5th. She charges $35 an hour. My friend tutors the same age kids but specializes in reading ( also tutors for everything else though) and she told me last week she charges $60 an hour!

I agree with MomtoGKC, but I think a high schooler would get paid less, maybe $10-$20/hour. I actually pay my high schooler $10/hour to tutor her younger brother.

I don't think she''ll be able to get the going rate for tutors because she doesn't have a degree. I would assume that she was asked because the family can't afford the going rate of a tutor. My DD's tutor charges $70 and hour but gives a discount to her friends and charges them $30. I would think $10 to $15 an hour would be fair for a Freshman tutoring middle school math.

Just my 2 ¢

High school freshman $10 per half hour. The going rate for those with a Master's Degree in this area is $30 per half hour.
