Question What do you charge?

I know it is terribly impolite to ask, but what do you consider to be the going rate.

I charge £15/hour for GCSE level and £20/hour for A-level. I don't really get involved with other levels/exams.

What do others charge?

Does how qualified you are affect how much you charge? It would be interesting to find out what others charge. Does anyone do discounts etc. How do you get paid? Cash cheque etc

I'd say this depends on your qualifications and experience, and what level you're tutoring.
I charge the following.
K1-K3: £15 ph
GSCE: £20 ph
A levels: £25 ph
Adult retakes: £30 ph

I tend to only tutor A-level so I charge £25/h. I do a discount for small groups and I do a discount for block booking. I used to do 11+ tutoring for £15/ph but it was a lot of work when you are not teaching it.

Roughly £30 ph but then I live in a good part of town and most of the kids come from very well off backgrounds. I am very naughty and usually base my price on what they can afford. One guy I know is paid in magazines and chocolate.
