Tutoring Fees
Every tutor is an independent business person, so each sets their own hourly rate.
Tutors trained in an Orton-Gillingham-based system, like the Barton System, are rare. So their hourly rates can be quite high.
The hourly rate will be higher in metropolitan areas, and lower in more rural areas.
The hourly rate will be higher if the tutor is certified than if the tutor is not.
To find out the hourly rate in your area, call some tutors and ask. I recommend you ask all of the following questions.
