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