Question: Tutoring Elementary School Kids?

I will be a highschool sophomore in the fall.
I want to earn a little extra money. I like kids and one of my main strengths is school so I thought it would be a good idea to be a tutor/homework helper (not give them the answers, of course) for elementary school kids in reading, writing, or math.
I’m not sure how much to charge. I was thinking perhaps $10/hr; does that seem reasonable?
I also am not sure how to advertise or what to put on a flyer.
I’ve always been an honors student and gotten straight-A’s, but I don’t want to sound boastful by saying that on a flyer.
Thanks in advance.
Peace.

Answer: You dont have to be licenced to tutor in most places because you are not babysitting, you would be there while the parent is there most likely. Contact yor local SCORE office http://www.score.org (not a scam, its a SBA afiliated nonprofit) and set up a meeting with one of their volunteers. Its FREE and they can tell you what the local regs are and or where to find them. Yes, post or handout flyers at area churches, groceries, etc. Post ads on http://www.craigslist.org. Don’t be afraid to sound boastful on your flyer, you need to sell yourself!!! I would say something like: Responsible straight-A high school student seeking assignments as a tutor/homework helper for K-5 graders. I would offer references if only just to attest to your reliability (ideally a teacher or neighbor). $10 an hour is a great rate for a highschooler who is tutoring. Good luck!
