[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys know that tutor.com is free for all FCPS students this year and next, right? If you are willing to use online tutoring, I would try that route before spending $50 per hour and more.[/quote]

If online learning worked for my K-2 kid, I wouldn’t be shelling out $$ for private tutoring since kindergarten.

But sure, they can pat themselves on the back for offering an underutilized service with the ESSR funds. Kids fell behind from online learning….so what does FCPS offer? More online learning. 😑[/quote]

Te hey put plenty of feelers out to pay teachers to tutor. No one wanted to do it.[/quote]

I don’t doubt that, as FCPS could not afford them. ([b]I also doubt they tried very hard or cast a wide net.[/b]) Public school teachers aren’t the only IRL humans able to tutor. (But tutor.com was a quick contract to get up and running while checking the ‘address the learning loss’ box.)[/quote]

I mean, they’re trying now. Open to anyone, currently employed by FCPS or otherwise. Hourly band 13, $47.17/hr

But who wants to work for $47/hr, taxed, when you can make $100/hr under the table, pick your clients carefully, and have them come to your kitchen table? So yeah, FCPS can’t afford the going rate.[/quote]

Yep. Ours is former FCPS teacher, $100 under the table (and no I do not feel badly about that, not even a little). And we go to him. I'd do it again, many times over. He's made a huge difference for our kid. This is higher level math, fwiw.[/quote]

Just because it's cash doesn't mean it's under the table. I 100% claim my tutoring income on my taxes. [/quote]

Ok, good for you, many of us don’t.[/quote]
