I think 12/h are perfectly fine if you don't have to drive too far. Try negotiating a success fee or something maybe. | ||

If you become a teacher of certain areas such as physics then you can charge over one hundred dollars an hour in nicer areas :3 | ||

Some tips I would suggest are Be confident in the material Don't teach them wrong things Don't end up doing their HW for them Have a plan before you start Best of luck making some money | ||

edit: i just realized that you're still in high school, so you have to charge less, but the same rule applies, if people think you're an expert, then they'll pay more. | ||

yeah, my name was on the list as a math tutor but I'm ending up tutoring for biology (currently cramming some biology since it's been awhile) | ||

If you're in high school yourself, you charge a little less, if you visit them at home, you charge more. I think 12/h are perfectly fine if you don't have to drive too far. Try negotiating a success fee or something maybe. Agree on that; that sounds like a reasonable amount to charge. | ||

I'm not kidding at all. I tutored for $35 an hour here and the people I was working for told me their last tutor charged market rate ($120/hour). | ||

It all depends on how greedy you are, and how generous the kid's parents are. | ||

Most of my friends say that 10 bucks/ hr is a good price for tutoring while some of my friends say 15/hr is about right. I'm currently charging 12/hr. Anyone have any idea what the rates are for a high school tutor? The market price for most of the US is $25-$35. Don't settle for $10-15. The people who work for that price are usually refered by friends and family and just aren't willing to negotiate. So long as you're out of high school and you know the topic you're teaching you should get $25 an hour. Minimum $25 + factor in driving distance. I tutored for a long time and it was sad to see how many tutors didn't realize they were getting gipped. | ||

I guess I'm going to work for 12 as of now and then up to 15 later on | ||

As long as you're in a decently rich area, you should be able to pull it off | ||

But remember, if people are willing to pay it, you are not overcharging. Good luck. Make sure that your service is worth what people are paying you. | ||

or calculus(high school level) - mostly on how to graph and determine what a graph looks like IE relative extrema; 1st 2nd deriv test. or chem II.. all i've been doing is memorizing stuff.. which is fine but i just don't get thermochemistry at all. Like nothing(conceptually like physics). The negative/positive(from the systems perspective- always) ... energy equations.. constant pressure constant volume. i get Lewis structures+ Geometry though, so its fun ^ ^ ... i'll happily match those hours with SC tips? (weekends) my credentials are B- zerg I would stay after school for tutor sessions but musical takes up nearly all my time after school | ||

After the undergraduate degree, depend on subjects you teach and degree you have. tutoring schools will pay you ranges from 15-50 an hour in my area. I used to do it for 25/hr teaching physics and math classes half time, not sure about that guy's 120 per hour, Gmat tutoring was only about 50/hour, 120 seems very good, I wonder what subject he was tutoring, CPA I suppose? try middle school algebra/high school chemistry and you're getting closer ^^ | ||
