[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is $150 the average price of a tutor? That sounds high to me. What qualifications do they have? [/quote] Not OP, but I live in Bethesda and there's a certain tutoring center near my house that has tutors from $150 and up. The founder commands $400+ an hour. I credit them with getting my kid with learning disabilities high scores on their AP exams and ACT (short-term prep). We've used excellent independent tutors at $90/hr for more long-term work, like writing support. In general, tutoring quality is hard to tell if the parent is not in the room. We used them during the pandemic, when everything was virtual, and I could hear the tutors working with my kid. They were great, except one, whom we had to switch out. Again, we wouldn't have known that if we weren't listening in... So the parent really has to do their due diligence. A bad tutor isn't just a waste of money. They're also a waste of time. [/quote]
