[quote=Anonymous]For the purpose of basic math, these rates are typical for private tutors:

A college student with no tutoring experience: 20-25.
An exceptional college student with high test scores, tutoring experience, etc.: $30.
A college graduate with no tutoring/ teaching experience: $35.   
The rates soar from there in math tutoring, though $50-65 is reasonable for a good private tutor for high school level math.

I suggest, however, that you find a tutor with experience and pay a little extra to get the results that you are seeking; otherwise, why bother paying someone to come and drill math with your child? Ask the tutor what teaching methods he/ she uses, and inquire as to how he/ she works with different learning styles.

Keep in mind, you are paying for the luxury of having someone travel to come to work with your child in the convenience of your home for a very short period of time. That person must account for lesson preparation, travel, and the administrative work that comes with owning and running his own business (however small it may be).

When you work with a tutoring company, you will pay extra, but you will also have the peace of mind of having a background check, credential verification, etc.

For reference, I have 15 years experience in the tutoring industry. I also have a small tutoring company in the NoVa/ DC area, and our rates are highly competitive compared to those of tutoring companies in the area. [/quote]
