Tutoring centers are available in many areas, and they afford students the opportunity to learn new material in a small group setting. Classes will be available on a variety of different subjects, and sessions may be held once a week or several times per week, depending on the tutoring program's intensity. A once per week class at a tutoring center may cost $50 per month, and a class that holds several weekly sessions may cost up to $150 per week.

• If you decide to contact a tutoring center in your area, you can make an appointment to take a tour of the facility and learn more about the tutoring sessions available for students.
• Before your child joins a class at a tutoring center, you may want to discuss their refund policy in case he or she wants to switch to another program.
• Your child may be required to take additional testing before joining a class or program, which could increase the initial cost of tutoring. Tutoring centers may also expect you to sign a contract.

Online learning programs and private tutoring are available online. A subscription of lessons in an online learning program may cost $100 to $130 per month for 10 hours of tutoring. Personal online tutoring sessions can cost between $20 and $50 per session depending on the tutor and the subject matter.

• Before choosing an online tutoring service, make sure to clarify any goals that you have and identify how you will monitor the tutoring sessions. If you choose a private online tutor, you may also want to discuss how the tutor will address challenges, monitor progress, and help your child achieve his or her goals.
• Students can receive free homework help online, but it is important to monitor for quality control and to assess wait times with free programs.

Individuals that offer tutoring services will have a pricing structure that reflects their level of education and experience. In this case, it may be appropriate to negotiate a suitable rate with the tutor. Since rates will vary considerably depending on the person's teaching experience and background, a teacher with a college degree might charge $75 per hour. A high school student may charge between $10 and $15 per hour.

• You can get an idea of the average pricing for tutoring in your area by contacting several private tutors to inquire about their rates. If you live in an urban area, the rates may be higher than a smaller city or a more rural setting.
• Some private tutors may require that your student purchase additional learning materials, which can increase the cost of private tutoring. You may want to ask the tutor that you choose about any additional materials that your child will need in order to participate.

The pricing we have listed above for each type of tutoring service is a general guideline and may differ depending on the individual tutor/tutoring center. For the most up to date information, fill out form to get matched to a tutoring center near you.
