<p>hmm. im going to be tutoring an undergrad taking a summer course on programming. </p>
<p>however, she asks me how much i wish to be paid, but i have no idea how much im supposed to do.</p>
<p>any ideas?</p>
<p>ps. im a masters student in cs.</p>
<p>As a masters student, you should charge at least 30 dollars per hour.</p>
<p>Are you actually good at teaching/tutoring (be honest)? How well do you know this person? How much work (hours per week) would be involved? Would you have to travel somewhere to do the tutoring?</p>
<p>i don’t think im that good at teaching despite being a very good programmer (comp sci gpa ~ 4.0)</p>
<p>i don’t know this person at all.</p>
<p>im thinking 3-5 hours or more per week. </p>
<p>i would have to goto school lab for tutoring.</p>
<p>and considering im not a native speaker, so i was thinking maybe i should charge 20 per hour? what do you think?</p>
<p>It depends on what other people are charging. I would look at flyers and websites for your area and act accordingly.</p>
<p>If you’re already fairly sure you’ve got her regardless of price, you should charge at least $20.</p>
<p>As an undergraduate with a fair amount of experience, I only charged $10-$15 per hour, but I was in it to undercut the graduate students. I did a pretty good business, so…</p>
<p>Charge as much as you can get away with. If the girl doesn’t like it, she’ll demand a lower price.</p>
<p>I think $15-$20/hr is a good price, especially since it sounds like you don’t have too much experience teaching. I wouldn’t consider being a non-native speaker a big deal unless your English is really bad (which it doesn’t seem to be. You’re tutoring someone in a CS course, not giving a speech in front of millions of people, so as long as you can get the point across you should be fine.</p>
<p>do it for free. the goodness you do will come back to you seven fold.</p>
<p>proton do you mean that in a sexual way?</p>
