basically if you're paying more for a tutor than say for a stripper, then you know you're not getting value for money.

i don't think you understood at all what i was saying..

i was referring to teachers who are acting as your tutor - they charge more if you want to send them essays 4 or 5 times a week than if you are just rocking up to a 1hour tutorial once a week as they're doing heaps of work for you out of that hour if you send them stuff so they should be paid to account for thath

nedzelic · 16 Dec 2005, 9:13 PM

yeah, ok, but if they weren't tutoring you, and you were just sending them your essays, would they still charge??

if they weren't your teacher or at your school - probably since its extra work on top of what's required of them

i tutor english & eco and mark essays with detailed feedback by email all the time and i dont charge extra. I dont see the point of charging an extra, what 5 bucks? to mark an essay.

when assessment time rolls around, i tend to go overtime as well (if i have the time)and it doesnt bother me at all.

i dont see it purely as a business transaction where every tidbit of work/labor/teaching needs to be accounted for exactly and charged accordingly. Maybe I'm just naive

yes but that's because you aren't a qualified english teacher - if you started tacking on extra fees students would probably look elsewhere for a tutor...

teacher's have full time jobs so i think its fair enough to have to pay a bit extra if you're going to bombard them with stuff out of your tutoring hours and expect replies, especially as if they are a hsc teacher they'll have a heap of their own students stuff that should take priority..

Plus, teachers have so much experience.

yeah that makes sense and i completely agree but i was thinking about people like me who are just in 1st yr uni tutoring and charging extra for those things

7th Sign · 20 Dec 2005, 12:53 AM

per hour rates -
hsc kids who thinks he is a top tutor - $15-$25
uni kid with some skills and good uai - $20-$30
teacher who is ok at tutoring - $30-$40
head teacher - $40-$50
head teacher with heaps of skills and good cred in the business, teaching at a high ranked school - $50-$100

rnitya_25 · 20 Dec 2005, 1:37 PM

are you insane? as in about the last line. i have never known of a tutor who charges more than 50 bucks an hour. that's a plain rip off no matter how smart and excellent you are....except for deptada's experience. that's..whow.

Sarah168 · 20 Dec 2005, 4:01 PM

what sort of magic can be spun in a single hour for +50 dollar?!?!

ridiculous

ahh no I had a tutor for maths for a few week she writes texts books and is head teacher at a selective school she is $65 a hour...

my english tutor I had for a lil while was $55/hour aswell

rnitya_25 · 21 Dec 2005, 10:39 AM

wow that's insane. in my opinion, i think its a waste of time to go to really high class prople, like text book writers, i think the writer of cambridge mathematics is the head teacher of james ruse or something. he tutors, but people say he's crap because he's a little too up himself. he prolly charges such high rates too. you can find really good tutors for better rates, around 25 bucks.
