[quote=Anonymous]A great math tutor can push your child up a level. They aren't satisfied by the curriculum provided and seek to always go just a bit beyond it. This optimizes growth and enables your child to do well this year and next year.

Tutoring is a long term investment. I've seen parents who insist in 2x / week meetings throughout geometry and algebra 2. This level of commitment leads to higher grades and standardized test scores down the line if you have the right tutor. Pick someone who has accolades and a clear sense of caring for your child. Find them and never let go because others will poach them the moment you do.

Sincerely,

Someone who tutors 50+ hours / week. Rates vary $120 - $225 / hour depending on subject. Yes, $225 / hr may seem ridiculous, but there is substantial prep work involved when tutoring non-standard college courses.

Note that all classes are not created equal. There are very few tutors who can teach Physics C, Calculus BC, and SAT/ACT Prep at the 1600/36 level. Even for the lower levels, you want someone who can guide your child to that level of achievement.

Remember, many lawyers charge $500-$1500 / hour. You pay these fees everyday as they are buried in your grocery bill, utilities, closing costs on homes, internet provider, medical care etc. Is there contributor to society really 10-30x as valuable as a tutor charging $50 / hr? [/quote]
