[quote=Anonymous]I'm 25 years old and in college on California. I've charged where between $15 to $25 depending on the clients (is it homework help or falling behind on concepts? What do other tutors charge in the area? Is the child just being lazy or really not understanding the concepts?). I've been in college for almost six years (moving and transferring with my family) studying education and special education. I begin the credential program next year. I work with kids often, spend hours in public schools working with teachers and observing. I also work with special needs children regularly and have taken many classes on that type of work. 
I don't charge for gas or travel, but I might if I had to travel more than 15 miles 
I charge less for babysitting, between $10 and $15 because just keeping an eye on kids and playing with them is not as much thought and work as teaching. I don't think the age of the child or the subject matter is completely irrelevant, but teaching is teaching. An prospective first grade teacher will take the same classes on how to teach as a prospective high school teacher. Sometimes younger kids are more challenging because they cannot focus as long.[/quote]
