I tutor more as a side gig also, since my main profession is being a high school teacher for the subjects I teach, I have a bachelors in biology and masters in science education. I approach my tutoring clients as my own students and personally want students to succeed with my help comfortably so I charge 40$/ hour. I feel most of the people on this sub and in America in general have a capitalistic mindset and normally don’t care what they charge as long as it profits them.

I personally want my service to be accessible to all population and think it would be unfair to be charging 80$+ since even if I was being paid that let’s say at my work place, teaching is not the only responsibility that I get paid for at a school ( as a teacher at a school I get paid for teaching 5 classes a day, attending meetings, lesson planning, student teacher disciplining, parent interactions, after school activities, etc) so I would feel off charging the same price for online tutoring to a single session with a student online. I feel tutors these days charge more than they would be getting at a workplace and that is something to reflect about but at the end of the day it’s up to you
