D.K.
I tutored when I was in high school (30 years ago) and made $15/hr then. I would assume rates are substantially higher now.
My daughter is needing help with Geometry, and my friend's older daughter is willing to help her. I feel I should compensate her for her time, but I'm unsure how much I should pay her. Amy ideas?
I tutored when I was in high school (30 years ago) and made $15/hr then. I would assume rates are substantially higher now.
Ask what she charges and if she says she doesn't know or doesn't want to be paid, I would (at least) offer her the lowest going rate in your area.
There are tutor websites that give you the rates. Some are very educated and some are not. The rates here seemed to increase with the value of the neighborhood. I saw $25 - $60/hour.
It was ten years ago but I paid my son's tutor 20 an hour.
$15 for half an hr $25 for 1hr
When I taught high school (about 20 years ago) I charged $20/hour to tutor privately. I have heard the going rate for a private tutor with a bachelor's degree and teaching certificate would be $30 to $40 per hour (or more, depending on where you live).
Is your friend's daughter still in high school? I would guess that you could pay her $20 to $25 an hour. If she's in college, you might pay her a little more.
Ask her??? Know the details of pay before she starts.
Around here the going rate for any academic tutor is $50+ an hour.
Since she's a student, I wouldn't pay less than $15 an hour, cash , probably 20-25 depending on her ability to help my child.
Ask what she charges. My son tutored Jr high and high school kids when he was in college. He charged $20 an hour. He's been out of college since 2011.
I'm adding this to my answer. You need to make sure that she is actually able to Tutor your daughter. To many people try to tutor that are not qualified. My son was an actuarial math major. That was an easy subject for him to help in. It would not have been the same in say science. So make sure this girl has good grades in the subject. And that she is up to date on the way math is being taught right now. Other wise it will be frustrating and a waste of time for both of them.
I just paid $25 an hour for tutoring from a lady in our area who does it frequently. I think it would depend on this "older daughter's" experience level and age.
I would think $20 an hour or session. If a session is only 45 minutes, I'd still pay $20.
I'd ask her!
I would think $15-20/hr would be typical for a student tutor, not a teacher.
It depends on what kind of help is needed. If it is just a half an hour before tests or once a week to help reinforce concepts I would say only $5-$10 per session but if it is going to be multiple times a week, honest to god tutoring (As in she has little to no grasp on the subject matter.) Then I would say $15-$20 an hour.
If she is a high school student I'd pay $10-15 an hour. When I was in high school 25 years ago I charged $5 an hour. If she's in college, $20-25 an hour. As a certified teacher, I would probably charge $50-75 an hour depending on the circumstances.
