Tutoring Opportunities and Class Schedule

November 14th, 2008 at 01:38 am

Due to budget cuts my school is getting rid of the math center at then end of this semester. Students used to be able to get tutoring for free but this semester they've had to pay for tutoring.

Next semester my job will be closed because of construction. I am going to tutor kids in math so I can have some income.

I'm thinking of charging $15/hr for 1 student and $25/hr for groups up to 5 students. Do you think these prices are reasonable? I'll be offering tutoring for up to Calculus 3.

My classes for next semester are:
Math 330: Linear Algebra
Math 285: Differential Equations
French 212: 4th semester French language
French 221: French culture class
Computer Science 302: Data Structures

If I get the schedule I want, I will be in class for 3-4 hours a day.

    Oh that's too bad they're closing the math center. I worked in the math center when I was in college as my work study job. Glad you can pick up tutoring to supplement your income!

    I don't know about the prices. . . is there any way you can scope out the competition (other tutors) to know what they charge? You'll then have an idea of the going rate in your area. A quick check of Craig's list in my area has me guessing that your fees would be on the low side here - but might be just right for your location.

    I didn't know you could advertise tutoring on Craigslist. Makes sense now that I think of it. I'll check it out. Thanks!

    I bet you can charge a lot more than that. When I was in grad school in 99-01, I know people were charging $30 per hour for one person.

    Hmm.. when I looked at Craigslist, $15/hr does seem a little low. Thanks everyone!
