What... did that run per kid, roughly, if you don't mind my asking? Was this remote? Where did you find tutors? How much parental oversight is needed? How much time in management of tutors is required—are they consistently reliable, how much time looking for replacements when they change jobs or whatever, that kind of thing?
We've gone with a private school because we've got a couple elementary-aged kids who are far enough ahead that public schools were plainly holding them back and we were already starting to get early signs of "gifted kid who isn't challenged then crashes and burns later" syndrome, but if tutors are at least as effective, and cheaper, that'd be awesome.
- treeman79 5y ago50 an hour. We had a foreign language and english reading writing. Local tutor. Spent around 1000 a month between two kids at the most expensive month, depending on need. I handled math. Both severe ADHD. So class room setting is hard on them. Now that they are ahead and back in classroom they are doing fine.
- handrous 5y agoThanks for the information. $1,000/m for two kids in two subjects isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. > Both severe ADHD. So class room setting is hard on them. We've dealt with a bit of that. No fun for any of the parties involved. > Now that they are ahead and back in classroom they are doing fine. Awesome. Always such a relief when kid-stuff goes the right way. Then you can rest up for when you're thrown the next curve-ball :-)
