[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the going rate for tutoring? Different for high school vs middle school? [/quote]

I’m a tutor and my rates are all over the place. ES and MS are lower than HS credit classes. For lower level classes, I charge around $50 unless the commute is more than 15 minutes one-way, than $60. HS classes are also closer to $60-65, depending on if it’s AP or not. Also, I commonly shave off $5, if the family will go virtual. With all that in mind, my husband says my rates are too low.

We pay $20 - $50 for online.

Online tutoring typically has a much bigger discount than $5.  Parents look on Wyzant, Outschool etc.  there ar dozens of tutors that charge very low rates.  Don’t focus on the expensive tutors with dozens of perfect reviews, but look for the hidden gems.  It takes some work upfront, but you can find someone great who lives in a low cost area for a very affordable price.

My HS DD has a French tutor in Idaho who is amazing and only charges $20 an hour.  The AP Biology tutor is a teacher lives somewhere Texas and charges $50 and is probably one of the most gifted teachers my child has encountered.  [/quote]

Wyzant has hidden gems....you have to look closely.

Np but I also just started searching wyzant from a recommendation from a neighbor mom but am not finding good ones so far (most that have had a couple of lessons with my kids seem inexperienced college students or else charge a lot if they are former educators) 
What are some tips in finding good quality tutors at a reasonable price on this platform? Any tips would be appreciated![/quote]
