How much should a math tutor charge per hour?

Question

So I am a student in high school and i am currently taking AP Calculus AB. My teacher told the class if we wanted to sign up to be a tutor then to talk to him after class. There was a bunch of students lined up to sign up and as I was signing up he brought up a opportunity about how a 8th or 9th grade student was looking for a math tutor. It is a golden opportunity although it takes much effort because this person's parents are demanding 2 hrs after school for 5 days a week. I asked my math teacher if any of us were to take this offer how much we should charge and he responded by saying to not get paid under $50 per hr. I have decided to take this offer but I am not sure on how much I should charge per hr. Should i listen to my math teacher and charge $50 per hr? Should i charge more or less?

Answer 5

How much are YOU worth. How valuable is YOUR time. How much will people pay for your time. What's the extra tuition worth to the child's parents. I would advise an assessment/trial period with this student. If he needs this much extra tuition maybe he's unteachable. Can you guarantee results for the $500 per week? If you can then go for it. Golden opportunities don't come along all that often. Good luck.

Answer 6

I'd give weight to your teachers recommendation assuming he knows the area and knows the going rate for tutors.  I'd start with $40-50 an hr.
