How much would you pay a high school junior to tutor your kid?

[Anonymous]

My daughter is a rising junior with experience tutoring algebra (group and individual) and also working with all grades of elementary in math and reading for the past three summers. She is a talented student with impressive academic qualifications particularly in STEM (including taking calculus as a sophomore). To date her work as a tutor has been as a volunteer but she’s been going to switch to paid tutoring for next school year. What do you think is reasonable to charge for math tutoring up to and including algebra by a high schooler? What would you pay?

$25/hr

How much do they want, to make it worth their while to show up. To be able to depend on them.

$15-$20 hr

I wouldn’t use a high school student as a tutor, sorry.

Actually they can a great choice because they're just learned the curriculum and know exactly what teachers are looking for.

OP, it depends on the socio-demographics of the clientele your kid is targeting. My teen who is just starting out is requesting $15 for 30 minutes.

Like I said - she already took calculus.

$18 for online for what time period? 30 mins? Is it group or individual?

$15 is ridiculously low given that most teen babysitters get paid at least that much per hour!

Individual online for 50 minutes with someone with a math college degree. No way would I pay for a high school student.

Did she take ab or bc? Again, no way. My kid took bc as a sophomore and I still wouldn’t.

I teach high school and a lot of my upper level kids tutor lower level math. $15-25/hour is about right. If it’s upper level math like calc or a hard to find tutor subject like stats, then I’d go to $30.

I’m shocked that someone with a math degree would only charge $18/50 minutes. Are you sure they are doing a good job? Have you seen improvement?

I think a smart high school student is fine. I would charge $15/30 minutes.
