How much do you pay, to have someone to homeschool kids?

Question

Need to know the price of homeschool/tutoring kids.

Answer 1

If I were going to pay someone to teach my kid, I'd send him to private school.

If we needed a tutor, I would find an online program for the class.

I can't imagine paying someone to read instructions for us.  We are proficient readers and usually  understand what we read.    There are times that we need to do websearch and library search for more information that makes the instructions understandable.

Answer 2

in the state where i live the parent can only homeschool their own children unless guardianship is signed over to the person you want homeschooling your child. Personally i wouldn't do that. Its the state law here so maybe you should look that up first.

Answer 3

Traditionally, homeschoolers are parents teaching their own children, so paying someone to do it is not involved.

Now, we do pay the standard fees for the myriad of classes, workshops, and the like that our childen are involved in.  Even those fees would vary greatly, however, based on location, subject, experience of the teacher, etc.

I know this is not of much help, sorry.

Answer 4

You don't need to hire a tutor in order to homeschool.

http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/meth... will give you information on various methods.  The important thing is to pick the method that is right for you.

Many people homeschool for free or minimal cost.

Answer 5

Depends on where you live (and the going rates locally), just what you mean by homeschool/tutoring, the level of expertise of the person being paid, the amount of work you're requiring of them, etc.

If you are wanting a tutor, they are paid anywhere from 20 and 60 dollars an hour in our area.  The $20 rate would be for someone who isn't trained as a teacher, a college student or parent, or someone who's tutoring several students at once.  The $60 an hour would be for someone who's highly qualified, tutoring based on an individually designed plan, tutoring just the one student, with in-demand skills (such as teaching advanced math or science).  But you wouldn't pay such fees for more than a few hours of instruction a week.

If you are having someone watch your kids and monitor them while they work on lessons that you have planned for them, then you'd be more likely to pay the going childcare rate, since that is mostly what the person would be doing.

If you are having some homeschooling family include your child in their family for part of the week, teaching your child along with theirs (assuming that's legal in your local area), the rate will depend on why they are doing it (as a favor to you, to earn extra income, to have a built-in playmate for their child?), how much work you are expecting of them (will they just have your child do the same things as their child which means little extra planning and instruction, will they use some different curriculum--which means more work on their part, or will they be expected to make up a special curriculum for your child--which would be much more labor-intensive), and how many hours each week you expect them to put into it.
