Help! What should I charge!?!?

Question

I have an interview on Friday to discuss my possbily tutoring an 8th grader on math. He may need to be tutored in other areas as well. The problem is, I don't know what to charge! I am a junior and my major is Education. So I have the knowledge and resorces to help. I'm freaking out a little. Please help!

Answer 1

I would charge $20 an hour, and consider a discount for a second hour if they want it. Maybe $35 for two hours. I assume they will bring the student to you, if not you should charge them time from your door to theirs and back.
Good Luck

Answer 2

I agree with 100% with what Mr. Z said: "The standard going rate for a qualified and certified teacher to tutor is about $35 per hour. However, since you are just a college student, I think $20 to $25 per hour would be ok to ask for. That's about right."

Answer 3

The standard going rate for a qualified and certified teacher to tutor is about $35 per hour. However, since you are just a college student, I think $20 to $25 per hour would be ok to ask for. That's about right.

Answer 4

I'd ask for $20.00 an hour. Is this tutoring assignment going through a public school, or a private family? If it is through a school, they will tell you what you are going to be paid.

Answer 5

I answered your other questin to. charge 15 and hour. make sure that you won't get stiffed if the kid leaves early. then i would charge extra for anything else your gonna tutor. like if you agree to science and the kid brings math too, charge an extra dolar

Answer 6

in my opinion your services are worth more than minimum wage. i believe that $10 per hour is fair and should be your minimum asking price. i don't know where you live or the resources of the family, but that is a good starting point. best of luck.
