What Is the Pay Rate for Tutoring?

Video Transcript

"Some examples of pay rates for tutoring include depending on where you're starting out as a private tutor or maybe even a local elementary school tutor or something like that. The pay scans the range with respect to the, the level of experience. A tutor that's at Sylvan Learning Center has got a degree and a credential; a teaching credential probably is getting paid probably in the hundreds in at least a hundred dollars an hour. As opposed to the just beginning tutor who went to the high school job board and found some elementary students that needed help with their math, he's getting paid maybe ten dollars an hour. So depending on your level of experience obviously and, and your level of education you can charge different amounts. Based on that, probably the biggest determination of how much you can charge as a tutor comes from how much everybody else is charging as a tutor. On for example wisend.com they have set your own; you set your own rates and give a certain percentage of that to the wisend.com administrative people. Same thing in companies, you may start out as a private tutor making twenty dollars an hour and then after maybe fifteen sessions of a certain type you get now thirty dollars an hour per session. Something like that. As a tutor trying to make a living out of tutoring, probably using the word of mouth method in referrals together a pretty significant clientele and then be set off of that for a while or recharge every year when more students need tutoring. At that point you are in demand and can charge whatever you want for tutoring and you've got referrals, and you've got, you've got, you've established, you've established a reputation as a good tutor and at that point a good tutor with local reliability with some local back up; some grass roots, back up is probably preferable to the corporate tutor who got their degree and, and is just sending them on through. So anyway, those are some ideas for the pay rates for tutors."
