Last summer i Paid $360 for 8 1hr Session in Math for my rising 8th Grader. (With his 7th grade math teacher) thru a tutoring agency. Since his 8th grade schedule was not done yet it was not a conflict of intrest (Turned out he wound up with her in 8th Grade for math also). But he does well with teachers he knows (and know him). So a requirment of mine to the tutoring agency was a teacher that was from his Middle school
I've paid $60/hr for one on one. The tutor was a teacher in the school system whose goal was for my DD to understand what she was doing, not just drill it. Lots of guided practice, lots of explanations. Some of the best money we've spent.
It's around $100 an hour in my city. Speaking of math, are any of you finding that your otherwise very bright child is having a hard time in Math? My child is struggling in this subject. She forgets what she was taught the day before. She makes careless calculation errors. She feels "dumb". This is a kid with many strengths in other areas. We haven't resorted to tutoring yet, but I think we should.
Depends also on the level of math. I would not expect to pay the same for tuturing in high school calculus that I would for elementary school basic math.
I think the university kids get about $30/hr to turtor high school kids.
A good tutor is a good way to avoid parent kid arguments about home work etc. Personally if I were tutoring, I would insist that when I arrive that the kid has a tidy room, bed made, desk clear, light on. No TV in the bed room. I figure if they can't be bothered making that effort then they are not serious about improving acadmically.
