Coaching rates? (1 Viewer)

[z600]

You reckon it's true that:

higher price you charge, the more popular you get?

I know this guy who charged 20 dollars and he only got few. When he started raising his price up, he got more people.

????

because he got more students, he could charge more?

I only charge 25-30 depending on who I am tutoring

 

[kenshinx77]

are you getting the results that your expectin?

well he explains it good and everything and i understand it but... my marks isnt improving. i think my bitch of teacher is too biased

 

[I Study Hard]

I found an ad of a lady with credentials of:
* College of Law (NSW)
* Bachelor of Law (UNSW)
* Bachelor of Arts (UNSW)
* HSC Graduate of leading private high school in the Sydney Eastern suburbs
* HSC UAI: 98.65
* Occupation: Solicitor
* Over 7 years private tutoring experience (one-on-one & group)
But she charges $65/hour..is it worth it??

It's an odd debate, and I really dont think theres any clear answer. I have worked for a private tutoring college for 6 years now as a casual tutor and it still marvels me at the prices the college charges, and the variance in quality and experience of teachers. The college charges a standard rate of around $60 per hour for private tutoring (although most students are preferred to have a shared lesson (2 students) at 2/3 of the price each).

I believe the teachers are all of a high standard, however, their experience can range from 2nd year uni students with high HSC marks, to ex school teachers, all at the same rate.

In this case you are paying for reputation, professionalism, and for a receipt!


Personally, I like to keep tutoring affordable. My main aim is to build the confidence of students, as well as their skills and problem solving abilities. For me, I charge $40/hr but I do have my own facilities if they prefer to go somewhere outside of their own home. I've also had almost 6 years experience in HSC tutoring and could easily call on many of my ex students for glowing references. The pricing is not to make alot of money, but to justify the time spent.

Also, just cos someone got awesome results in their own HSC, doesnt mean theyre any good at explaining the techniques to someone else...

 

[Genep]

where do u get private tutes for less than 20?????

Check out tuteu.com.au. Some private tutors charge less than 20. Most of them are beginners but that doesn't mean they don't know the subject

Cheers

i charge $10/hr, only cause i'm still a student and not a very top one at that.

 

[electrolysis]

I reckon ~$25ph for groups and ~$30ph for private is reasonable
I go for group and its something like $25ph, which is good except for the fact that each lesson is 3 hrs long :mad1:

 

[studentcheese]

hmmm North Shore tutoring charges like $44 per hour for 3U Maths and its not even worth it. I'd say $30 for a good tutor is reasonable. Under $20 if the tutor is bad.

 

[annabackwards]

Mine is a $30ph private awesome tutor for 4U math.

That's a resonable rate.

 

[simonloo]

What the hell. There are ex-barristers who charge less for private tutoring in university law courses than you gays.

 

[nisseltaria]

I'd say it depends on the service.

I know one Mathematics tutor who charges from $40pp ph for group sessions til SC, $60+ for HSC individuals, works in her own home and is well worth the money. If I had found a similar English tutor, I would have been delighted to pay that much also.

But a student would rarely be able to provide a service meriting such reward. For them I'd guess a range of $10-40/h for individuals (including tutoring by those still in school for lower year/ability students and those few exceptional students capable of offering a tutoring service to rival any teacher's). This may include babysitting/tutoring combos or other enhanced products. It would also depend on the pupil, difficult or unwilling pupils may be an issue if you tutor younger students.

[shady145]

my 3u maths teacher said she tutors for 35/h and she said it was cheap for this area lol, far north east coast

 

[lyounamu]

my teacher tutors people in other school and charge like 50 bucks and they say that it is a normal price -.-

 

[ninetypercent]

hmmmm....some maths teacher wants to charge me $70 an hour for Preliminary 3u Maths. (private one on one tuition). Is it worth it?

 

[cutemouse]

Well I some of the teachers at our school charge... $100-120 for Physics, $100 for Chem and $120 for Maths (ie. 2U-4U) (1.5 hours)

 

[ninetypercent]

so you're saying that $70 is a reasonable rate?

 

[cutemouse]

so you're saying that $70 is a reasonable rate?

Depends.

But why do you need a tutor? Are you struggling that much?

 

[ninetypercent]

hmmmm...I think I'll try it for one lesson.

I need a tutor because I'm paranoid about everyone beating me in maths. (currently ranked top 5 in a top 40 school)

 

[cutemouse]

Reminds me of what our Physics teacher told us about one of his Grammar coaching students.

Teacher: "Why do you want to get coaching?"
Student: "Umm, I'm coming 2nd, I want to come 1st"

.... like WTF :S
