Going rate for a reading tutor?

[Anonymous]

I have 23 years teaching elementary students within FCPS. My MA is in reading and literacy. I don't tutor often, but $40/hr is what I would ask. Sometimes I find that an hour is too long for the little ones and adjust accordingly.

I should have come here. Certified teacher in FCPS charged us $75/hr.

12:46 here. I'm thinking I should do more tutoring!

I don't even have teaching certification and I get $50 an hour.

with your certification and experience, I think you are undercharging by a lot.

In which reading programs do you have certification?

Please clarify what you mean by "reading programs". Are you referring to things such as LLI, Literacy, Read Naturally, etc.?

I am not cerified in any of those reading programs. Quite frankly, I don't know any of my colleagues who are cerified or even familiar with most of those.

I pay $110/hr for DDs tutor. She had an M.Ed and is certified in Wilson, OG, and LMB. She is worth every penny. My daughter early looks forward to her tutoring sessions. What I can see is that she is breaking down the decoding into ways that make sense for my daughter. When my daughter doesn't have to work so hard to decode, she can begin to see the movie in her head. When she sees the movie, reading becomes enjoyable.

What's the "going rate" for your job, OP? It's a silly question.

Better to ask for a range, or what different people pay their tutor. Everyone sets their own rate, OP.

12:46 here. It sounds like you are happy with the progress your daughter is making. That's great! That's an unusual number of certifications for a general education classroom teacher. (I am assuming she's teacher in a classroom in addition to tutoring.) I am not familiar with any of those intervention programs.

If I started tutoring again, I'd probably stay around $40/hour.

I am paying $50/hour in MD. She is retired teacher with lots of experience and degrees, we are doing 2 30 min sessions after school per week.

They are some of leading programs for targeting the various forms of dyslexia. It concerns me that a teacher with an MA in reading and literacy is not familiar with them. It highlights the problems students with dyslexia have in this area.

PP, those are very specialized programs for students with severe learning difficulties. General education teachers do not take such training, and a Masters Degree in reading/literacy designed for typically developing children would not general cover instruction for students with severe learning disabilities.

Now if a teacher with an MA in Special Education had not heard of these programs, that would be troubling.
