[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would pay $50 an hour.   $15 an hour is insulting.   Babysitters make over $20 an hour.  [/quote]

You would or you actually did before? $50 an hour is about $100k a year. Not apples to apples comparison but still gives you an idea. No way would a 10th grader that did a few weeks of group teaching command that price.

Entry level high school math teacher is paid $50k a year, works out to $25 an hour and that’s with a degree in math, and educational credentials.

$20 sounds about right.

You can't equate $50 for an hour of tutoring to $100k a year. An employee hired at $100k a year is also getting benefits, and can rely on a steady paycheck. A high school tutor picking up a couple hours here and there is not getting any of those things.

Let me ask you this: assuming that babysitters make more than $20 an hour, would it be reasonable to cut the babysitter's pay to $20 if he or she spent that time working with your kid on academics instead of playing with your kid?

Now, it certainly is true that teaching is a skill that requires practice and time to develop. Would you consider offering a raise if you saw an improvement in your child's grades after receiving the tutoring?[/quote]
