i never put a ad in the paper before, but it does sound good. you can also add what town incase they need to know.

I'd also put up flyers in front of local schools, of if you can inside (most principals will allow you to).

Re: Teachers (tutoring)

another way is to let your colleagues know that you tutor. thats how i got many of my jobs. many parents will ask a teacher for a tutor recommendation and they recommend me. As long as the child is not in my class, I can tutor them (conflict of interest) believe me the word spreads fast when a teacher tutors!

Out of curosity, how much does tutors get (a range)? I was thinking about doing it in the summer and have no idea what to charge?

I charge my student $45, but if I tutor a child out of my district I would charge more..I heard of teachers charging $75...

I used to do it through the honor society in school and we were only allowed to ask for $10/hr. I continued to get phone calls after graduating though and I upped my rates.

Re: Teachers (tutoring)

I have never had to put an ad in the paper. I have just gotten referrals.

I only have two students though right now so if you want more, I would def place an ad.

Right now I charge $75 an hour to tutor Secondary Math.
