| Does anyone know where we can find a reliable summer tutor that is a teacher? We are offering up to $80/hr. Any places post these? Websites? Community boards? |

| I would check with the Kingsbury Center. They are probably the best tutors in town. |

| Care.com seems to have some teachers on its website offering after school/weekend/summer care. I saw a teacher from Bridges listed. They could probably tutor too. |

| I am a certified teacher moving to NW DC in June. I'm also bilingual and can tutor Spanish. |

| Check with your child's school. Most teachers will tutor if asked directly. Do you have a teacher you like? |

Far less training and more money that a special ed teacher. |

Hardly. All of their tutors are required to rake a graduate course in learning disabilities, and several of their tutors are licensed special ed teachers as well. |

I'm the PP above. I've been a Kingsbury tutor, and a Lab school tutor. Both are one grad school class, compared to the twelve it takes to be a certified special ed teacher. On top of that, Kingsbury and Lab both take an enormous cut, more than 50%, so most tutors who gain experience then leave and either go into private practice, or go to work for someone else (e.g. Stixrud) who pays better. So, most Kingsbury and Lab tutors have both less education, and less experience. |
