Frequently Asked Questions
How much should tutors charge per hour?
US rates run $30–60/hour for general K-12 subjects, $60–120+ for test prep and specialized subjects, with credentialed teachers and proven results at the top. Online tutoring prices within 10–20% of in-person now.
What costs should a tutoring rate cover?
Prep time (often 15–30 minutes per session), travel if in-person, materials, scheduling software, and self-employment taxes. A $50 session with 30 minutes of prep and travel is really a $33/hour job.
Should I charge different rates by subject or level?
Yes — scarcity pricing is rational: AP Calculus, organic chemistry, and SAT/ACT prep command 30–100% premiums over elementary homework help because fewer tutors can deliver them.
