How much should a Spanish or History tutor charge per hour?

Craigslist publishes ads that rang from $10-$40 an hour. It depnds on your experiencee and weather you ar or not a native speaker too.

At our school, tutors & extra duty teachers are paid $20 per hour.

The real question is how much should an American charge for teaching English.

It depends on how much money they want to make per hour. I would charge $10.00 in hour. In college you can get a tutor for free you don't have to pay them per hour. It is included with the tuition.

$20. per hour charge per student/second student 15, third 10 if together in a group.

I live in California, so things are a little bit pricey... I teach math through Calculus, I normally don't prepare lesson plans, or do side research, and I charge no less than $30 an hour, usually $40 for Calculus (where I do some preparation on my own time!) Tutoring college, you've got forces going against you - one is that many students can't afford what you are really worth. Another is that students can get help from a student center, or through the school in some way, for little or no charge. But you are individual instruction, and much more qualified than the "guy in the Spanish Lab" who is just a college junior. So there are reasons for you to charge more. I wouldn't work for less than $20/hr, even if you are in a less expensive area. Where I live, I would charge $30/hr, particularly for Spanish, which could be in high demand.

150-250.00 depending on how big the house is and how much the euro autos are outside :)

I would start out at $15-18 per hour. That is what I did when I started. As you gain a reputation and more clients, you can think about raising your rates.

It depends on your locality and the prices the local market is carrying. A credentialed teacher working through a tutoring center (like Sylvan) will earn $15 - $20 per hour, but the tutee will pay more than that. On-campus tutors (offered through the university) in my area get paid $10 per hour (and have to take a certain college course and have certain skill levels to be hired). Where I live (small rural town), most families are poor, and there is no way they can afford $30 per hour for private tutoring. The few people who do get tutoring here pay between $15 and $20 per hour. Think about rates... in California, a salaried, full-time teacher in a public school with a BA, makes approx. $30,000 a year (give or take a thousand, depending on locality). If you do the math to come up with an hourly rate: $30,000/10 = 3,000 (10 months employment) $3,000/20 = $150 per day (20 workdays month) $150/7 = $21 per hour, approx. A credentialed teacher teaches a LOT of kids and spends probably 2 or more additional hours per day, preparing materials. They often work summers to make ends meet. If I were a college student needing tutoring, I'd be using the campus tutoring center, as the cost of hiring a tutor is just too high for the budget. Look at your local market and find out what other local tutors are charging, then charge a bit below that and maybe you'll get more work. I have a friend who is a teacher, who has also tutored, and he told me he used to charge $30 per hour (urban area). If you have a credential, you are more skilled and should charge more. But, you may not get much work if you charge too much. In your ads you need to state your education level, credentials held, certificates too. Sell yourself.
