Becareful, CS departments usually have strict guidelines on who can help cs students on homework and projects. However, you stated that you a masters student in CS so you probably have some clue about this. For what she must pay you: I say it will depend on what kind of programming it is... if it really basic manipulation of arrays and stuff like, or really simple programs maybe $ 20 an hour? But if it is really complicated (or kind of complex think of Prim's algorithm or multithreading and etc) stuff (meaning you have to do your own back end research ) I would charge more. Also look around the web too to see what other tutors charge.

It sounds like you were willing to do this for free and then she offered to pay you. There may be a relationship dynamic at play that's unstated in your post which may affect the price.

My daughter gets paid $50/hour for tutoring high school students. A licensed teacher gets 75-100/hour.
