How much should I charge for home tutoring?

[TheApprentice]

I've got 15 years' Primary School teaching behind me but am currently a SAHM. Am looking into doing some private tutoring (basically helping younger children with maths/language etc) but haven't a clue how much to charge.

I wondered if anyone tutors themselves, or employs a tutor for their child, and could advise on a sensible fee. I live in Scotland btw so perhaps could not charge as much as London and SW

i used to it was around 22 - 25 quid per hour - bt onyl an extra 3 quid for two ( twins)

I pay £20 an hour outside London

I am looking for a tutor for dd ,A level maths and am expecting to pay around £20 hr.

I was looking on this website personal tutors,couldn't find a price though.

That sounds quite reasonable, thanks. I have looked at a website where people in my area were only charging £10 an hour, but they seemed to be mostly students with no teaching qualifications.

Thanks for link ggirl, looks a better website than the one I found. But as you say doesnt give prices.

Rates recommended by the Personal Tutor agency.

When I last tutored I got £25 an hour, and that was for A level science. This was around 4 years ago

Thank you all. I was hoping to charge around £20 an hour, but the rates on Personal Tutor agency suggest £17 max for Primary. Seems you can charge a fair bit more for secondary.

I charge £20 an hour in SE (but well away from London). Many round here charge more for 11 plus teaching (£24 seems average). At the moment I only teach primary pupils - I've been advised to charge £25 for secondary tuition and people are more than happy to pay that round here.

I pay £25 an hour in Scotland for an English tutor. Seems to be the norm around here.

my sister is chargin $20 for primary - Essex

charging - how Essex of me

£20 fairly standard around here. (primary)

I charge £20 per hour for teaching maths in the homes of my students. and I am in Nottingham. I charge the same for all levels, I wouldn't charge more for A-level because it is much more interesting for me to teach. Some of the younger ones only have half an hour. If I teach two together I don't charge any extra.

I'm taking part in a government pilot scheme offering one to one tuition. I get £21.80 per hour.

OK, I've made my decision. will try offering tuition for £20 an hour and see if I get any takers!

Thanks to all of you.

I pay £20 an hour for DD's maths & piano (with the same person) but split into two half an hour sessions.

Berrie out of interest could you tell me more about the government pilot scheme you're taking part in? Thanks

Yep.
It's called the Making Good Progress Pilot. (a google search should bring up something at the DCFS)
Only 10 Local authorities are taking part so you might be unlucky. Here, they are desperate for tutors. It's aimed at KS2 and 3 and it's Numeracy and Literacy.
Let me know if you can't find more details online and I'll search out a proper link for you.
