Anyone know the average supply teaching and /or tutoring rates?

[Moomin]

Am re-thinking my teaching career at the moment and giving some consideration to a couple of years' supply teaching and a few sessions tutoring a week maybe. Anyone know what the going rates are (in the Midlands, ie not in London)? Also does anyone have any experience of both or either? I'm planning on just working in selected schools, directly, not using an agency and still working 3 days a weeks because of childcare arrangements, with the possibility of sometimes doing an extra day.

I have just started supply teaching and I think it works out at about £120 per day. i'll look and find out exactly for you.

i do....about £15-20 an hour for tutoringup here (northeast)
and supply teachers get between 110-140 pound per day

Yes, go directly through the school. We prefer it, just use agencies out of necessity. I'm in London, so can't help with rates.

Here £474.92 gross for 4 days
Tax code 461L - net 432.59

that sounds like a great idea Moomin - haven't responded on ttc but I know things are a bit tough work wise - I chose that option when dd was 9 months old as well and thought it was a win win situation. But - ended up on a jobshare at my current school for one day and I do extra supply days as and when I want to or available. I get about 120 after taxes for supply days (in London)
Hope it works out for you

That's great, thanks.

mummysurfer - how are you finding it so far? What are the advantages over "normal" teaching? And what subject are you trained in? Do you do any subjects you are given and turn up day to day or do you also do short-term stuff? Sorry for all the questions!

In my part of the north east you'd get £20 per hour for A level. 15 for GCSE level.

i did tutoring about 4 years ago....and got 15 punds an hour for year six tutoring...maybe i was lucky

It's bathtime so I must go ...but I'll post the details once they're in bed. Sorry

Moomin,
i'm primary. But haven't done maunstream since dd was born 8 years ago. returned part-time working for a support service (EAL).
there's not much supply around here, all i've managed is working for the support service with late arrivals - one day a week. need more than this really, DH unemplyed. this week I've done EAL in a 2ndary. first time i've been in one since i left in 1983!!!
Main pluses are no prep, no displays, no records, no staff meetings and little planning, particularly for short-term.

I found this:

DAILY SUPPLY - QUALIFIED TEACHER Day = £145.00 (am = £87.28, pm = £77.40)
LONG TERM SUPPLY - QUALIFIED TEACHER Day = £160.00 (am = £90.10, pm = £79.90)

There are a few websites around for supply teaching. This one was called Ambition and I asked for agencies in Sheffield, where I live.

The local LEA also have its own agency and pays supply rates in line with mainscale - and gives a salary each month, including the holidays. Not sure how it works though.

I am thinking of doing supply once DD goes to school in September 2006. I don't enjoy my current post at all and I would rather be working in Sheffield anyway (and not doing the travelling on the motorway each day).

Moomin,

Have a look at this. I'm in Worcestershire, not a teacher but work in Educational Finance. Here a supply teacher on M6 would earn £139 per day which is based on annual salary divided by 195 days, although only 190 days are actually worked in the year.
