r/tutor

Hey everyone,

I started tutoring English privately 2 months ago. So far my students pay lesson by lesson. I charge €30 per lesson for 1 hour.

I'd like to offer packages of 10 or 15 lessons. What would be a good way to price this so students are incentivised to sign up and get a discount? Any advice is really appreciated as I'm pretty new to all of this.

I need a tutor for my brother's private O level . I am planning to register him for O levels summer examination 2027 with core subjects like maths and english and other such as business(haven't decided what remaining 2 subjects he should go with - feel free to recommend a good combination)

We need a tutor who has at least 1-2 academic year experience with this and not a fresh tutor , this way they would understand the syllabus/paper pattern better and can guide the student better.

Ideally if the tutor can teach all subjects cited above - that would be great , but if you have experience with even one of them feel free to reach out.

5 classes a week is a must. We need classes based on UAE local time.

Let me know your pricing estimates and experience. If you can give a slight info about your teaching plan that would be great as well.

Hello folks, I am looking for a female teacher for my little sister(I am her elder brother) who is 12 years old and is in class 7. She is having issues with primarily physics and maths, we are looking for someone who could clear her concepts.
A mix of online and offline classes will be fine as comfortable for the teacher.
Please dm me for further discussions!

Asking for a friend.

If a new teacher wants to start a fully independent tuition class completely from scratch, what do they need? The teacher in question has no experience in teaching, but very well knowledgeable in their field of expertise.

They already have students ready to join anytime, just not confident enough to start without proper setting and tools.

​To keep things lean and professional without buying into expensive, bloated platforms right away, what are the actual baseline requirements for managing the workflow?

Specifically:

​Lessons & Testing:

How do you deliver text materials, reading reviews, and quick practice quizzes? Is everyone just hacking together Google Docs and Forms, or is there a cleaner way to keep things structured? Google classroom is great, but all the materials being pointed to external documents such as PDFs, Docs, Forms (even for quizzes) feels disjointed.

​Student Tracking:

How do you organize lesson notes and track individual student progress or scores once you scale past your first few students? Sure 5 students all coming to you at the same time is fine. But what if there were more students? And what if they come at different times, but all learn the same subject?

​If you were advising a new tutor starting today, what tools or workflows are absolute must-haves to stay organized, and what tools they should skip?

I’m a pharmacy student preparing for a neuroscience exam. I’m looking for someone who can ask me questions from my lecture slides while I explain the concepts aloud. I don’t need tutoring or someone to teach me—just someone to quiz me using my slides. Please DM if interested.

Any chess tutors in the Plano/North Dallas area? However, I am open to online tutors as well. DM me 😊

Hey everyone 👋

This is for absolutely beginners 😄

We'll start from absolute scratch, including:

✅ Variables & Data Types

✅ Input/Output

✅ Operators

✅ Conditional Statements (if/else)

✅ Loops

✅ Functions

✅ Arrays

✅ Basic Problem Solving

...and anything else you need to build a strong foundation.

Why am I doing this? I just want to brush up on my fundamentals while helping others who are struggling in the beginning.

So there's absolutely no charge.

I promise to make the sessions interactive, beginner-friendly, and fun rather than just boring lectures. My goal is that by the end, you'll actually understand the concepts instead of memorizing them.

The only thing I ask in return is your honest feedback after the sessions.

If you're interested, just comment "Yes" below, and I'll reach out.

Let's make learning programming a little less stressful and a lot more enjoyable. ❤️

I have a BS and am starting my PhD in the fall. I’ve been looking for some extra cash and a friend suggested I help her little sister with writing essays for college applications. I have experience working as a tutor in high school and as a TA in college. My question is: how much should I charge now that I have my Bachelor’s degree?

I am not sure if she wants in person tutoring (where I would charge hourly) or if she wants me to review and make suggestions to her essay (where I would charge per review). If hourly, I was thinking of charging $40-$50 an hour. If it’s per review, I was thinking $50-$75 for the initial review, and a decreased rate (maybe $30?) for any follow ups.

What would be a good amount to charge for this?

Looking for someone who can teach me AP Calculus AB over the summer.

I've been doing upfront payments for new students for about six months now, and I still feel slightly awkward bringing it up. Not because I think it's wrong I know it's standard practice but there's something about moving from a friendly first conversation to talking about payment that still feels a bit unnatural. With existing students it's easy, but with new families it can feel like a sudden shift. Did this get easier for you over time, or did you have to consciously reframe how you thought about it? And is there a way you phrase it that makes it feel less transactional?

I'm about to head to college and I need something to do over the summer, so I've chosen to tutor. I'll charge $60 for a month, and will tutor English and science for middle school online.
