Nope, not too much. I used to charge $25 an hour for math tutoring. I knew someone who charged $40/hour with a two-hour minimum. You have to charge to where it's worth your time.

Damn.
Time to make a career change.
I used to tutor someone in basic high school Algebra and what I got paid worked out to about $10 an hour...
Little did I know, I could have been making 80,000 a year as a math tutor.
Exactly. Most people came to me for tutoring. I didn't go to them. I would tell them that I require $40 an hour. The honest truth is that for less, I'm just not interested. Some college students, who were working their way through college and couldn't afford much, I would see them if they could meet me somewhere convenient to where I was going. I wouldn't charge them, I was glad to help. But I don't care to spend 20 minutes driving to see a doctor's son, be with him an hour 10 min., then spend 20 minutes driving home, to get just $10 or $15 dollars. Then you're messing up a day off, and for what? (Don't forget to subtract gasoline expense either.)If you could find that many people to tutor, possibly. You have to stop considering it a full-time job and start thinking about the fact that you might be tutoring for only one hour and that it will be away from where you are.
My piano teacher charges $30/hour and he teaches at home. My friend's piano teacher charges $40/hour and she has to spent one hour(2 ways) on the road to get to my friend's place. The gas cost her $5 and the teacher only made ($40-$5)/2 = $17.5/hour.That's too cheap. Suppose you are going to tutor three people consecutively. It's not very likely you'll see one at 1, another at 2, and the third at 3. Instead, you'll have gaps, and you might have to drive around. You're not really making $15 an hour like you would if this was a normal job. Ask more, people are willing to pay it.
I should tutor, but one of the subjects I understand best: math, has free tutoring at my school! If I helped though, I get extra credit![]()
