[quote=Anonymous]If it's very basic math such as just elementary level homework help or reinforcing basic facts, I would just ask a local high school student in NHS. Either they will be looking for volunteer hours and they can try to get their advisor to count the tutoring, which would make it free*, or they would accept a very low rate like $10-$15 per hour because they're busy and looking to just supplement whatever they already do.

*This solution is probably unlikely in your situation, but I have seen it happen so I wanted to throw the idea out there. I don't know whether any sort of free tutoring would qualify or whether there would have to be special factors about who the tutoring is provided for. This is how a friend's daughter in NHS (not in this area) got her volunteer hours, but I'm not sure how similar your situation is so I'm not positive this would work for you. The students she tutored were the children of several families of recent immigrants whose parents had limited financial means and English proficiency, which might possibly - just my speculation - have been one of the reasons this was acceptable for volunteer work.

Obviously I'm not trying to make any sort of assumptions/implications about your family situation, financial or otherwise, and if your local high school's NHS had some sort of requirement  regarding such things that impacts when free tutoring counts as volunteer hours then it probably wouldn't work out as such for you. So you would end up having to pay the high school student, but that would almost certainly be cheaper than ~$30/hour for your current option.[/quote]
