Frequently Asked Questions
How should I set my tutoring rate?
Rates vary by subject, credentials, and market. General tutoring: $25-50/hour. Specialized subjects: $50-100/hour. Test prep: $75-150+/hour. Rate should reflect your education, experience, and demonstrated results.
Should I charge for travel time?
If traveling to the student, either charge a flat travel fee ($10-25) or build it into a slightly higher per-session rate. Alternatively, encourage virtual sessions or meeting at a central location to avoid travel costs.
How do I handle missed sessions?
Enforce a 24-hour cancellation policy. Late cancellations and no-shows should be charged at the full rate. This protects your time and is standard across the tutoring industry.
