Tutoring Hourly Rate?

[poohs_hunny]

I am going to be doing tutoring for elementary-aged children this summer. It is my first experience with tutoring, and I have no idea what a typical per-hour rate is. The mother has said that money is not an issue, but I don't want to rip anyone off. If you have recently done tutoring or hired a tutor for your child, please help me out. Here is some relevant info:
- I live in CT (I know costs may vary geographically).
- I have my Master's degree in education and have been teaching in an elementary school for 5 years.
- I will be tutoring twin boys with similar needs, most likely at the same time. (This may be changed if it becomes a problem.) They need help with reading and math.

Thanks for any help you can give!

My daughter will be getting a summer tutor who will come out once a week to work on math. She had straight A's throughout the school year, and I want her to be very well prepared for middle school math in the fall. Her teacher is charging $20 an hour which I think is just the perfect price.

My friend has an elementary school tutor for her DD and is paying $50 an hour. My DD had a tutor for high school and I paid $65 an hour.

My dd was tutored in Math for HS in TX, by the teachers that work in the school and they charged 45/hr.

I am an elementary school teacher but I tutor in almost every every (except hard math!). In addition, I live in Florida (middle of the state). I charge $60 an hour but I've seen waaay higher prices.

Good luck!

Wow-I am really getting a deal this summer!!!! I don't think I would pay more than $30/hour for this.

With a master's degree and the area you live in, you could easily charge $50/hr for one student and I would say $75/hr total for both students.
