Has anyone hired a tutor for their kid?

How much does it cost? I know it will vary from location and the subject/age of child. Just a ball park figure. Thanks!

I charge $25 a hour, but I know a lot of teachers who charge $30-35.

The going rate here is 25 to 50 dollars an hour for one an one tutoring. That depends on subject and grade. I think the elementary school tutors are cheaper, and high school is the most expensive. I know in my area quite a few kids go to Sylvan type tutoring (it is a store front). I have no idea how much they charge and how they work.

I would suggest that perhaps you go to your local high school or junior college and check with counselors or staff or career center to get a suggestion of an outstanding student who they might suggest hiring. They will be less expensive, but probably more eager as a tutor. You will not have to hire a long-term contract so if the "fit" doesn't work, you can try someone/somnething else.

My girlfriend tutors in San Fran and she charges $75 an hour - she is a teacher. She is booked with 12 kids and she teaches part-time.

I paid $50 an hour this summer for my 5th grade DS tutor. I could have found someone cheaper but she was recommended by the school since she works as a reading specialist for the area. Best money spent ,she was wonderful with DS.

Not sure what your childs age is but, my son goes to a Catholic high school and he has to tutor 20 hours as part of his graduation and honor society requirements, You may try there if you have one near you. He has to do it for free and it is elementary thru 11th grades. It is done at the childs school or his high school. Good Luck.

Same price here in Miami, it's my neighbor and she is a reading specialist. Heard she is real good and she better be for that price!
