How much should I charge for peer tutoring?

I am a sophomore in Ace Algebra II and I my math teacher gave me a name and number of a person that wants tutored in Geometry. I don't have any idea how much I should charge hourly though...

Thanks =]

Update:

I believe the person is a freshman in Geometry, and I got high A's in it, I'm very good at math.

The parents would most likely be paying.

Should I just suggest for them to pay whatever they think is fair, if they don't make an offer? or should I just say about $8-10 per hour?

thanks again

    Not much, haha. Ask how much you think you deserve. If you think you're gonna put the time into it and do a really good job, you could push it to $20, but then there's a burden to have to make the kid do well. Just ask for like $10 if you want to just try it out. Honestly, tutoring in high school is more for your benefit, giving you teaching experience with some change on the side, so don't go too crazy with the pricing.

    First off, most high schools that offer peer tutoring offer it for free because it's a volunteer activity.. mostly if you are a part of NHS. As a college student, we pay for it through our tuition, which I have no idea how much. But students who do tutor through the university are paid from $6.50-7.50. Only because it is a part time job. So if it's high school. Keep it low, and if you attend an urban school, well there's your answer right there. Parents can't always afford it. so make it between $5-15. No more than that. If you volunteer... it looks better on your college application (hint, just get the credit from your math teacher)

    depends...on grades

    If he-she has a F in the class charge 15$ if the student has a C charge 10-12$ If the student is just a little slow 5-10$, you have to make it fair, cause if you needed only a little help in a class and had to be tutored by a student you wouldnt want to pay to much, but if you really needed help, you'd be willing to pay that amount. But If that person wants to be tutored for like 5 hours just charge him like 30-40$ you dont want him to have to pay too much just too learn cause he will find another tutor!Please vote me the best answer!It took me a long time to type this!!!THX!

    hi, i might want to pick to percentage with you my own own journey, and then perchance you is basically no longer so nerve-racking anymore. i'm about to enter into college q4. After my 9th grade three hundred and sixty 5 days of highschool, i become already kicked out of beta club for no longer doing adequate around the community. I then joined my college's French club and nationwide Honors Society (In eleventh grade). those were the in consumer-friendly words 2 golf equipment I had by way of the time I utilized for faculty as a Junior, and they persisted to be my in consumer-friendly words golf equipment till the end of senior three hundred and sixty 5 days. i become ordinary to each of the colleges I utilized for, and they were all star colleges. What i'm attempting to assert is, golf equipment and community service are literally not the #a million priority for colleges. What they are going to seem on the most is your GPA, classification rank, and SAT/ACT ratings. The community service section is basically to reveal that you're some type of nicely rounded human being. in case you extremely imagine you've not carried out adequate, try getting inquisitive about a classification like Newspaper/Journalism that grant you with some community credit. except that, concentration on your teachers, make the suitable achieveable grades, and also you may be fantastic.

    It depends if you are teaching advanced geometry. You should charge around 75-100 dollars per hour.

    $10-15 is good. I'm not from the USA so I don't know what Ace means, but I'm assuming that's a high school-level course. If it's a college-level course then you should look at $20-25.

    Depends on the grade level, and the overall amount of hours. I.e. if you're teaching for 2-3 hours straight or one hour, if you're helping on a continuous base (aka weekly) or is it one time thing?

    Many factors to consider, I say you can charge 14-15 bux per hour.

    I would say probably $10-15 depending on what grade you got in Geometry!

    You can ask suggestions of the teacher who referred you to them. Otherwise half of what a regular tutor charges appears fair to me.

    like eight dollars because it's another kid. is the kid paying you or the parents? once i tutored a kid for forty dollars for forty five minutes, so if the parents are paying you, find how much they are offering, but be pius, if you need to ask, don't ask for much, like 8-10 an hour is good to ask for
