<p>For you tutors out there, how much do you charge, who do you tutor, and in what subjects? I got offered to tutor some middle school students in French. I have no idea why they even chose me because I'm only in French 3 and I'm not that good at it. Anyways, I'm wondering how much I should charge considering I've never tutored before. Also, how much should I charge if I'm tutoring two people at the same time? (I'm assuming it's cheaper than one-on-one tutoring)</p>
<p>All the times I’ve tutored (I tutored Algebra I, Trigonometry, Latin, and English geared for the CR section of the SAT) - I’ve tutored for free. I like helping people - I’ve been told numerous times by the students I tutored that I should become a teacher. I didn’t really see the point in charging someone to teach them something that I myself learned for free. It was the type of thing that I offered to do for people without any tangible repayment - it wasn’t even recorded on college applications or resumes, I kept all of it really informal. </p>
<p>If you do insist on charging - keep your rates very low. I imagine you’ll be tutoring them the very basic principles of Introductory French so it isn’t exactly something that entails 300 dollar an hour fees. </p>
<p>For about 2 years I tutored in calculus, algebra, physics and the SAT. I always charged $20 per hour. I thought it was a reasonable rate. It’s more than I could make at a part-time job, and it’s less than they would pay for a professional tutor. I never had any difficulty getting parents to pay that price, either. My sessions were all one-on-one, so you might consider dropping that price for a group session.</p>
<p>I charge $20 per hour for ACT tutoring, like HateBeinSober. I’ve never had a shortage of demand.</p>
<p>I charged $25 an hour for any level of high school math and science.</p>
<p>(Dafuq, $20 an hour for a high school kid? Where I live they’d give you two quarters and a warm can of Sprite.)</p>
<p>Why not ask the people whose kids you’re tutoring? If you’re afraid they’ll say something lower than they’re actually willing to pay, negotiate with them and suggest something slightly higher. </p>
<p>Don’t do free. You’ll end up with students who have been sent to you by their teachers, but have no intention of listening to anything you say. Gauge the demand for your services by starting reasonably high, and decreasing only if you wish to increase the amount of time / # of students you want to tutor. The reason that you should charge reasonably high prices is that persons who spend more are more likely to dedicate the entire period of time focused only on the material at hand. </p>
<p>Group sessions should be cheaper, but not directly proportional to the number of students whom you are tutoring because (i assume that) some of your job as a tutor is to analyze the progress of students outside of tutoring hours and plan lessons accordingly. In such cases, you should add decreasing amounts for each additional student (e.g. 1/2 for second, 1/3 for third, etc.) and divide the cost between students.</p>
<p>My school regulates it to $10 an hour.</p>
<p>Yup, I just found out that my school also regulates tutoring to $10 an hour. </p>
<p>@marshmallowpop Maybe we go to the same school! 
(but I think a lot of schools also keep it at $10. It’s a very sensible amount)</p>
<p>$100 an hour.</p>
<p>And I have customers.</p>
<p>$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$</p>
<p>As the Ying Yang Twins once said, “Make that money, don’t let it make you”.</p>
<p>Dafuq, $100.</p>
<p>How does the school regulate tutoring prices?</p>
<p>^It’s the cumalitve total of working with multiple people for an hour.</p>
<p>@wcao9311 it’s a school run tutoring program, so we have to follow their pricing :P</p>
<p>^Oligopoly can’t allow for profit in the long run</p>

<p>School run tutoring costs money? Schools are supposed to offer free tutoring. if school limits money, do it privately at public library or sumthing.</p>
<p>I tutor for free after school for NHS. </p>
<p>Your school charges students to have other students tutor them? Wow. Why don’t the students just go meet with their teachers for free? Our school’s student tutoring program is free. </p>
<p>I tutor for free for my school. I don’t tutor for money anymore but when I did I got paid $15/hr then I got a raise to $20/hr. Right now I’d charge $15/hr for a stranger and when I get my B1 or B2 German Certification I’ll charge $20/hr.</p>
<p>I have a tutor (junior in high school for AP Chem and PreCalc Honors) and she charges $15 for an hour and that was considered high.</p>
<p>My daughter charges about $15/hour.</p>
