<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Charge A Competitive Rate
Because of competition for a limited number of tutoring clients, if your rate is too high, somebody with similar qualifications who charges less will likely get the job. According to Care.com, as of 2009 parents expect to pay high school students $10 to $15 per hour, and tutors from agencies $25 and up.
On the Other: Make it Worth Your Time
Most math tutoring sessions last only an hour or two. When tutoring outside of your home, you take time to travel and put mileage on your car. Therefore, your rate should reflect what you would like to earn for your time, and it can include a travel charge as well.
Bottom Line
Set your rate based on the difficulty level of the material, the going rate of tutoring in your area and your experience and qualifications as a tutor. Help yourself stand out by getting certified through an organization such as the American Tutoring Association.
