Help me become a tutor

<p>Thanks for your replies everyone.
I live in RI, near Newport, and it is a very rich area, so hopefully I'll get good business. I'm just worried about mys scores to come in Nov, I'm expecting really high though.</p>

<p>Suburban NYC may make 100 an hour but wont hold that for a high school student. Columbia grad students in around NYC get about $75/80+ an hour, HS student would not.</p>

<p>Agreed, HS students will not make anywhere near $100/hr unless you're unbelievably good at the exam and teaching it. I expect that HS students can charge around 25/hr, which is pretty respectable. I actually sent an email to Princeton review asking about the tutoring employment. No age requirement, no academic requirement, you just have to have a high score and be able to teach kids.</p>

<p>Are you looking to work for PR, because I don't think they pay good. Or do they? Does anyone else think 25 is a good rate?</p>

<p>Yeah, I really doubt PR pays well. I sent an email to a center close by so I'll see, but I guess it's easier to be associated with a company than on your own when you're just a student yourself. Although I know that the prep companies (Kaplan, PR) around here have TERRIBLE reputation (not one good review from my peers). I'm not actually looking to work for PR, just to get an idea of how much tutors get paid by PR.</p>

<p>All right, I designed a flier, check it out
The *** stand for scores to be, </p>

<p>Do you think its a good idea to show your own improvements? Because it shows that you were once where your student is, and gives them hope that its possible, i don't know, just a thought.</p>

<p>Duper, post a flier, i wanna see :)</p>

<p>You guys are being foolish. Anyone that is looking to improve his or her SAT scores will be impressed if not in awe by a 1400+ or 2100+. Someone does not have to score 2350+ to tutor someone. Jeez</p>

<p>^^^ THANK YOU! My point exactly.</p>
