I am a highschool senior at a private school and have a good grasp on most math up to about calculus. I work at the local library and a lady I know said something about her son getting tutored...I told her that I would tutor him for free.
Then she asked me to tutor her daughter in algebra and I said I would do it for free but she insists on paying me. I told her I could tutor her for 2 hours after work once a week or so. We agreed on that and she still insisted that I come up with a per hour figure and, never needing a tutor myself, I have no idea how much to ask.

The going rate for math tutors WITH DEGREES is about $30/hour. Since you're just a high school student, you should probably cut that figure in half. Also, ask for a letter of reference when you finish your tutoring job.

iunno but it depends on where you live, but in California i know its illegal for you to work at 14 unless its farm work. It still counts as child labor though i don't know about how it would work to start your own tutoring thing. And i work at miccy D's at the moment and im 17 i get like 240 a paycheck and im only part time though. so yea 800 by summer is very do-able if you start right away. But minimum wage over here in Cali is $8.00 an hour. If you start your own tutoring thing you choose how much er charging per a subject/hour but you'll probrably have to be lower then other tutoring companies that have a reputation, unless you're just tutoring people you know, becasue they might not be willing to pay you as much just because you're younger. Hoped this helped somewhat, Goodluck!

Hi... I have my own tutoring business and have done a lot of looking into this. If you are just in high school then the going rate seems to be $10-20 per hour.( I am in Canada so???) College students here range from $15-25 and any college or university graduate with some teaching experience goes for anywhere from $20-45 per hour depending on the subject. I am a 15 year teacher with a B.Ed and a Remedial Specialist en route to my masters. I have found that charging $30 for and hour works for me and seems to be the "cut off" parents are willing to pay when I tutor in my home. If I tutor in their home and have to travel...I always charge $5.00 more per hour for fuel and travel time. Don't sell yourself short! Hope this helps....

It depends on your area and experience, but $20 an hour isn't unreasonable. If you aren't comfortable with that, charge less but ask her if you can use her as a reference to get more business.

find out what minumum wage is for your age then bring it up to a whole number (eg. 6.47 p/h bring it up to $7 p/h).
it's ur first job, ur not a professional and u have no experience - but u can do the job, help the child, get experience urself and a good reference, - AND ur helping someone out, ur not making them go broke, AND ur still making money

I'd suggest charging $20 a 2 hr period if it's just once a week.
