<p>I got a job as a private tutor. I haven't tutored for money before, so I'm unsure of how much I should ask for. How much do the rest of you guys make (when you first started)?</p>
<p>well..i charged 10 bux an hour. And i thought that was good money. i still tutor but now charge 15 bux. I know i know, you guys are like, WHAT DA HELL>?! 15 measly dollars for an hour of tutoring?!...well I live in Koreatown in Los Angeles..and all you koreans know how korean moms seek out good deals.</p>
<p>$12/hr for Trig/Geometry. $15/hr for Biology/Chemistry = handouts...copies..etc.</p>
<p>For me.</p>
<p>My tutor charges me 20 bucks per hour. But he's a good tutor, he has a Ph.D in math.</p>
<p>$20 and that's for when I tutor BC Calc, AP Physics, AP Chem and the such. Around where I am the usual adult tutor is $80 an hour so $20 is a good deal for a student who is less removed from the material.</p>
<p>15/hr for math
20/hr for any ap science</p>
<p>Check around where you live and what parents seem willing to pay. If parents are willing to go $45+ for a "real" tutor, then cut down to a third of that. Prove yourself with one student, and the word will spread. </p>
<p>p.s. I'm actually very cheap for my area and I've never raised my costs. Plus, in my humble opinion, I think my time and effort is worth every penny. :P</p>
<p>I tutor in the "Math Center" for my school. I get paid $7.30/hour and it is free to the students. I suppose if it was private, I would charge around $10-12/hour.</p>
<p>10 bucks/hour for spanish</p>
<p>free... i volunteer it looks better</p>
<p>Go cujoe :)</p>
<p>I've been volunteer tutoring since 5th grade and now my learner is a 5th grader reading at a 7th grade level because of me. I'm proud :-). Sadly, I'm graduating 8th grade soon and I'm moving so I'll never see her again...</p>
<p>...Anyway, my friend's tutor charges 60 dollars an hour. And I get paid 20 dollars an hour...and I'm in 8th grade.</p>
<p>okay. I think i'm okay at teaching math/sciences, so I'm interested in this. (i'm a junior now, moving on to senior).
First of all, how did you advertise yourself? Did you go to younger people (i'm assuming) and asked "do you want to get tutored?" or post flyers (if so, where?) or door-to-door for tutoring (-_-a) or...?
Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>I get referred by my elementary school teachers...
Also, there may be tutoring programs in your community?</p>
<p>I don't know...I've been an obscure tutor. I've been tutoring on and off as community service, starting in 5th grade with math. For the past two years, I've just helped out random people who've asked me and I've formally tutored at the local tutoring school/club thing in just about everything. My friend asked me if I wanted the job since she's going off to college...</p>
<p>how did you guys get your job? $15 per hour for teaching???!!!! <em>drools and melts down on floor</em></p>
<p>I tutor 9th grade math for 20$ an hour</p>
<p>im at 10 bucks an hour for everything, ap science and math and i tutor one guy in diff. eq. for the same price.</p>
<p>after turoring for a year and 1/2, getting a real job (like a summer job), and making a pathetic 6.50-7/hour seems not even worth my time lol. i guess im spoiled but it just seems so useless doing it, even though i will be this summer. also, i get satisfaction knowing that my knowledge can get me a job that can make serious money, (i make around 35-40/hr depending on who it is) tutoring, and that my hard work has paid off (no pun intended). but i guess everyone has to experience a flipping burgers type of job...sigh.</p>
<p>my chem teacher charges $40 an hour. what extortion! :-P</p>
<p>I want to start tutoring this year. big bad senior needs some pay dirt. </p>
<p>my master plan: start advertising 4-5 week of school. Flyers and such will be out right b4 parents get report cards. After they see the atrocious grades their children make, I anticipate phone calls. will set up a flexible schedule where I meet the student a certain amoun tof times a week for a certain amount of time. make parents sign a contract saying they will pay for certian material (prep books, other stuff) if prompted too. I'll show them the receipt and everything. </p>
<p>On my flyer I'll put my email address, phone number, and subjects I can teach. those would be:</p>
<p>ACT/SAT prep
US History
Sciences- biology, chemistry, physics
Math- anything below calculus (arithmatic, Algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, etc)</p>
<p>so how does my plan sound. what holes do u already see in my doomed scheme? :-P</p>
<p>BTW, I plan to chrage $15 an hour plus expenses</p>
<p>vtran31, that is a brilliant strategy, in my opinion.</p>
