Re: How much do you get paid for tutoring
Posted by Laura Rice on 8/25/08
Hi Carol,
I didn't mean to offend you and I know that there are great teachers out
there working in programs like yours that can be wonderful. My guess is
that there aren't too many folks like you working programs such as
Sylvan or Huntington that are as qualified and willing to work for such
low pay--especially when they know how much the parents are paying.
Yes, I do evaluate my students, read their Psych.Ed reports and plan
accordingly. I've also done my fair share of good deeds in the past 18
years but I have to pay my bills too.
Hope your school year goes well.
Laura
