Well, I’m still waiting for responses for the posting I put up on a few sites 
I’m actually gonna sign up for care.com. I’m assuming it would be alright to charge the same fee.
My DD tutored for the first time. She just finished her freshman year of college. The student was a high school senior who needed to increase his 22 ACT to a 26 to qualify for Bright Futures (a FL scholarship). She asked for $40 an hour and the parent of the student offered her $50 because there was travel involved. My D didn’t feel like she should be paid $50 so she said $45 would be fine. She met with the student once a week for two hours for 6 weeks. She worked really hard. Two years ago I paid $100 for a tutor for my D and all he did was sit her down and take tests. He didn’t even help her with the problems she missed. In contrast, my D went over all the problems he missed. He called yesterday to say he got a 29 on the ACT. He not only qualifies for Bright Futures, but he will now get the higher tiered scholarship. My D was so happy for him! She hopes to do it again next summer.
Wyzant takes 40% of what you charge so you need to bump up your rate to account for that, e.g., $50 an hour to net $30.
It really depends on a couple of factors:
- Your experience. As a parent, I would expect to pay far less for a high school student than I would pay to his or her teacher.
- Geography. Long Island, NYC and the surrounding areas are incredibly expensive for everything.
- Supply and demand. Someone looking for a tutor to keep her 7 year old's reading skills sharp this summer will probably pay far less than a college student looking to pass a required course.
I’m the cheapest high school math tutor I know, at $75 per hour. Then again, I have 35 years experience teaching high school math and I live on Long Island, where things are notoriously expensive.
We paid $60 an hour for an adult with a grad degree in the subjects she was targeting.
We found her through Wyzant.
Originally had signed up through Care, but had a heck of a time getting the charges stopped even though they did not have anyone that was even worth interviewing in her location.
@CaliCash I charge $35/hr in the suburbs outside of NYC.
My AP Bio teacher who set me up recommended that I charge $30-50/hr and told me that she charges $125/hr. The going rate for SAT tutors in town is around $120-150/hr.
