Need help: How much should I charge for computer tutoring?

[Kraeji]

One of my co-workers wants me to tutor her cousin in computer usage. (Microsoft office, how to use windows, webpage development) How much do you guys think i should charge? I kinda dont want to do it b/c I dont think I can ask for much..

Is the cousin hot?

You could probably charge based on what type of tutoring. Is it basic how to use windows tutoring or how to use a particular app. If it is the latter, you could probably charge more. Take a look at what computer classes cost in your area, then take a little off of those prices, considering they are reasonable.

Hmm.. im going to go there in a few hours so i dont have much time to check what local prices are

 

[Kraeji]

It's a older lady with grown kids. I doubt she's hot.

charge less if she's hot. If not, charge more. j/k

10-20 bucks per hour is what i would say (for a co-worker)

but if you're a nice guy, aim more towards 10 - 15. doubt i could personally ask for more than that if it was someone related to a guy i worked with

20 bucks sound resonable for me since she is not hot. I don't think that is too high.

<< im going to go there in a few hours so i dont have much time to check what local prices are >>

The way I read this is that you have both agreed to the tutoring prior to agreeing on the price? I hope she is not assuming it is free.

 

[Kraeji]

Naw.. she knows its not free.

Tell her 50 an hour, if she doesn't blink, go with that.

If she has a fit, tell her you were trying to break the ice a little with an obvious joke and that your real price is 15 or 20.
