Hiring private tutors because distance learning is garbage

[Anonymous]

I heard people are starting to do this. Can anyone share their experiences with? How do you find the tutors? How much does it cost?

Try your neighborhood listserv. $70-100 per hour for a certified teacher, less for a college student without teaching experience.

I'm doing this to make extra money. I tutor 5-7 year olds in reading for $50 an hour. In the fall, I plan to do it about 5-10 hours a week in the evenings or weekends. It'll help us pay off our mortgage.

How many kids total will you work with? That's a lot of contagion unless you are virtual, in which case it will be tough to get 50 an hour,

Good luck finding someone who will come to your home during a pandemic.

I'm a full-time professional tutor, and I've been doing sessions 100% remotely. It's not safe to go house-to-house tutoring kids these days.

I really don't think it would be hard for a certified teacher to get $50 an hour doing zoom tutoring.

I’ve been doing virtual tutoring all summer. 80-95 is what I charge depending on subject. Math and writing take more prep. I tutor about 9-10 hours a week during the summer. I chose not to tutor during DL. I’ve been tutoring for years. I use TutorFuse to get clients or word of mouth.

NP. Would you consider backyard or front porch tutoring? If not you, do you think there are tutors out there that would? I agree indoors isn't very safe these days, but would love to find an outdoor tutor.

^^ good to mention prep. I think many parents look at the hourly rate and think that it's too high, without realizing that a good tutor will take the time to prep for each session, and that the prep is specific for each kid. With strong prep, what the teacher makes hourly is much less.

That said, if you just need someone to guide your kids through their distance learning curriculum that the teachers prepare, that might be worth less, particularly if you can find a local high school or college student to do it.

We have a teacher doing virtual tutoring for $65/hour. I was skeptical about virtual but it’s going pretty well.

They're probably tutoring virtually. I'm a teacher that's been virtual tutoring all summer.

How did you find the tutor? I’m considering doing this.
