A practical way to price tutor work
hourly sessions or prepaid packages with subject, grade-level, travel, and cancellation terms.
The RateWise calculator starts with your costs and desired income, then divides that target by your realistic billable hours. Use the result as a planning floor and tailor the client-facing quote to scope and local conditions.
What changes the price?
- subject, grade level, and specialization
- lesson prep, materials, and parent communication
- online versus in-person travel and session length
Minimum-job example
A minimum session length or monthly commitment protects preparation and scheduling for students who need only short meetings. In the calculator, try your expected billable hours first, then use the minimum-job result as a check against short appointments or small projects.
Tutor pricing FAQ
Should tutors charge for lesson prep?
Build ordinary prep into the session rate when possible; for custom curriculum or extensive feedback, set clear additional terms.
How should tutors price test prep?
Test prep often needs diagnostic work, a plan, and materials, so package pricing with defined hours can be easier to explain than a generic hourly rate.
Should a tutor publish an hourly rate?
An hourly figure can be useful internally, but the customer-facing format should match the work. Use hourly sessions or prepaid packages with subject, grade-level, travel, and cancellation terms and make travel, materials, revisions, or add-ons clear before the job begins.
How do I use this tutor pricing calculator?
Start with the suggested inputs, replace them with your own monthly costs, income goal, and realistic billable hours, then use the result as a planning floor—not a guaranteed market price.
