LauraQ Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 We have found a potential tutor for dd for Japanese. She is a native speaker and she lives in our area (an extreme rarity here). She's not a professional tutor, but she is well-educated. We hope to do weekly one-hour sessions. One or two of these would be in-person sessions (likely at a local restaurant) and the other two or three would be by Skype. We live in an area where cost of living is easily in bottom 10-15% nationwide but employment is relatively high and economy is relatively strong. Any ideas what we could expect to pay?? She's not a professional tutor, this is a side-job for her (and quite possibly her only tutoring job now) so she hasn't named a price yet. I just want a general idea before going to meet with her to negotiate price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Anywhere from $20-70/hour. A friend of mine was doing $20/hour for reading and/or writing sessions if they came to her, cash payment only. I know a retired math teacher though who charges $70/hour for calculus tutoring where he goes to the student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for something on the lower end there for what would essentially be tutoring for a beginner, less structured, from someone whose formal training is not even remotely related to languages or education.

Candid Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'd also ask her what she expects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauracolumbus Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 We pay $25/hour for a Latin tutor who also teaches at a local university. $40 for a math/science tutor that we just started. The Latin tutor comes to us and we meet the math/science at the library. We're in the Midwest and I think the 25-35 rate for language tutors around here would be common.

Kareni Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 We live in a fairly low income area with fairly high unemployment. My husband charges $16.00 per hour when he tutors science (Chemistry and Physics) and Math (through pre-calculus). He has a PhD and makes house calls.
