The variation is much more dramatic than what you might think. What passes for market rate in a rural suburb of Chicago isn't even close to being market rate in Manhattan or Long Island, NY.

For a 1 on 1 class with a certified teacher of Spanish. Well i guess my Spanish classes at $9.99hr are pocket change compared to others.

Luckily, I think the majority of tutors will still be listing their tutoring for less than $30 per hour (many around $23) so this hopefully won't be too big of an issue. But eventually we'll get tutors across the entire spectrum. Glad to see the participation. Thank you for the feedback everyone!

I recently hired a tutor for my daughter. I am by no means "low income" or a single parent and I still did have to consider the cost. The cost was a large factor in how many days and where we went for tutoring, I researched and found the collage tutoring fair in price. I also considered using a high school friend for a lesser price. As a student I am sure the tutors understand 1 hr of tutoring is not much so if more hours are needed and the cost is too much most people will go without the tutoring, which then in turn helps no one. Understanding an increase may be needed from time to time I just think people should make it reasonable. Just a thought from somone on the other side. Hi,

Yes, as parents we want the best for our children, so we seek the help of outside tutors, however, that $20.00 may be the only money we can squeeze out of our budget, and it could be sniping part of the light bill to do that. Yes, tutors are in it to make money and they may really need it, but they should also be in the tutoring business to help someone who desperately needs the help and because they enjoy helping others. If I knew the subject material, knew it well, and could impart it to others so that they would be successful, I would offer my service as a tutor and not charge one penny. It would be payment enough for me just to know that I had helped someone to succeed in their educational endeavors. Thank you.

As the person said he thought charging $35 was a reasonable price, which I quite agree. But as he heard of others charging more he thought he would do the same. Gradually increasing his price to $60. Can I just say we are at the mercy of 'you' tutors, we are desperate to help our children and will put our selves in financial difficulties to do so. When we see these prices it is frightening but what can we do when held to emotional ransom. Perhaps these tutors you mock for charging $20-$30 have some conscience or (as I have done) actually want to do something helpful, by helping the kids who are the future.
