[ReadyToGraduate]

Hi everyone! Hope the studying is going well. Just wanted to ask a quick question.

I was referred by someone to help a guy that’s getting his undergraduate degree in accounting. He said he will graduate in December so obviously needs to the class to graduate (this makes me assume it’s advanced accounting or a second level intermediate financial level, but I will ask.. just mentioning what I know so far).

As for myself.. I’m about to graduate with my Master of Professional Accountancy degree (Specialization in taxation) in 3 weeks. I took REG today (have passed all three other parts so far).

My question is: what should I charge per hour to tutor? I don’t want to short myself but I also don’t want to be unreasonable. Any suggestions will be helpful!

It’s also worth noting.. I have tutored before so I know how it works. I tutored high school kids in math and charged $10 per hour (I was a freshman in undergrad) and then I was the accounting tutor at my undergrad for 3 years (sophomore through senior). I was paid around $10 per hour from the undergrad.

Thanks for all your help!

Do you take Monopoly or Life currencies?

If my electric company, water company, or credit card companies would take Monopoly or Life money, I would HAPPILY take them as payment! 🙂

I got $30/hr (for 1 hr/week) to tutor what was essentially accounting 101 and 102. Although, I didn't set that price – that was what was offered and I thought it was MORE than reasonable. I went to her house and we sat at her dining room table and went over the week's concepts and I helped her with homework.

If he is a good lawyer then 450 is actually decent…..which is obscene lol

hahah these responses are the best! You guys keep me laughing. I love it! I'm in South Carolina if that helps at all. Once I talked to the guy more I figured I won't be able to help him after all. His class only runs for another month or so, and I've got to finish grad school and planning my wedding. So I'm trying to find him someone else. Thanks for all the (funny) suggestions! 🙂

On a more serious note, I would say 20-30 is reasonable for your tutoring job.

BEC: 73, 81
AUD: 85
FAR: 71, 77
REG: 74, 75...finally DONE! 😀

*This is my 2nd attempt at the CPA exam. For all of you who have failed this exam many times, given up on it, or taken a break like me, remember that it is still possible to finish what you started...failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently 🙂
