It depends on what kind of experience you want. I am a former high school teacher who has a masters in education but has not tutored in the past. I started this year at $40 an hour but I agree that $60 an hour is a reasonable target. If you are looking someone highly experienced in tutoring your particular child’s age group with particular knowledge of the curriculum that she is taking then it might be closer to $80-$100 an hour

Varsity Tutors has been good for us. They do a subscription plan these days, which is 4 hours of tutoring + unlimited on many of their online classes. You might want to call and see if they do a free trial.

Wyzant has a wide range of tutors. I have found good tutors on their web site for under $50.

Wow!! Someone you me $40-50. I don’t think I can afford this.

$60

We are considering getting a tutor for my rising second grader. She needs help with reading and we are wondering what is the acceptable hourly rate to hire a teacher? We tried TutorMe and it was a disaster. We get unreliable tutors who constantly cancelled, or are completely unprepared. Yes, I know it’s free but it seems highly unprofessional.
