[sweetpotato]

i'm a stay at home mom, former elem teacher with a master's in elem ed. thinking about earning some money tutoring, in the bergen county area - would be either ridgewood or fort lee since i have relatives in both sections who could watch my kids for me during sessions. anyone know what the going rate is for a K-6 private tutor?

My nephew has a tutor in Ridgewood and she charges $90/hour. From what I understand, she is pretty well known in the area and certified in something that allows her to do formal educational testing. I think at some point she was hired by one of Ridgewood schools to test students. Given her credentials, she is probably on the higher end, in terms of fees.

$90 a hour is what doctor's make. Think less--think a lot less.

Who's your doc? Mine gets about $135 for 10 minutes with me to take my blood pressure and ask me how I feel.

My cousin is a certified teacher in Livingston. Her and other teachers in Livingston get about $65 per hour.

I paid $65/hr last summer for a teacher at my kids' school.

thank you, i have a better idea of where to start.
i also wanted to know, do they bring their own supplies/materials? i suppose i need to invest in at least some math manipulatives.
