Today, tutoring services abound. There are a number of tutoring center franchises that have sprung up in strip malls, online tutoring, and more traditional one-on-one tutoring. But how do you make an informed decision about which tutoring service to use? Here are five tips for choosing the best.
1. Do your research. Most tutoring services have websites, so first go online. Tutor centers should have a wealth of information available on their websites that covers everything from the subjects they offer and their philosophy of education to statements about the qualifications of their tutors and testimonials.
2. Know your goals. When selecting a tutoring service, it’s important to know what you want to get out of the experience. Perhaps your child is falling behind in a subject and needs remediation with a math tutor. Maybe your child is a gifted or accelerated student and needs to be challenged to reach his or her full potential. It could be that your child needs help in test preparation in order to be ready to take his or her SATs. Or maybe you are studying for your GRE or CBEST and need the boost that test preparation can bring. Understanding your specific needs will help you determine whether or not the tutoring services under consideration are a good fit for you or your child.
3. Take personalization into account. Each person is unique, both in learning style and in what kind of tutoring is needed. For this reason, one-on-one tutoring is your best bet. In test preparation, for example, tutoring services often enroll 20 students per class. It’s difficult to get the individualized attention you or your child needs with a large class.
4. Take location into account. It’s important to think about where the tutoring should take place in order to reap the greatest benefits for you or your child. For many children, tutoring centers are less than ideal. It often takes children several sessions to become comfortable with the environment before they’re able to take advantage of the learning opportunities. Similarly, test preparation classes may not be at a time and place that is convenient for you or your child. Most people find that one of two approaches works best: tutoring in the home or online tutoring. The familiar environment of home makes the transition to learning easy for children. Likewise, one-on-one online tutoring is convenient and consistent.
5. Look for evaluations and assessments. The tutoring service you choose should do an initial evaluation for no extra charge. This provides a benchmark by which to measure your or your child’s progress. They should also offer periodic assessments to ensure that progress is being made.
People use tutors and tutoring academies for many different reasons. Ideally, though, the tutor you choose should listen to your student, be upbeat and enthusiastic, make learning fun, instill confidence in your student, and, ultimately, teach your student new learning habits so that he or she can succeed in all of his or her educational endeavors.

I laughing for a few reasons..

This sounds like severe dylexisia. Very severe. Try contacting the local branch of reading services for the blind and see if they will read books for her that she can listen to. And especially lean on your school administrators. They are supposed to be professional educationers, sounds like they have a severe case of burn out and draw the pay until they can retire. This is a classic example of why I don't like mainstream programs. But a lot of one on one work with this student will also help.
Honestly, if he has a learning disability. Tutoring a person longer than 3 hours a day is going to make the person feel frustrated.
I have adult ADD. I also was told my a neuropsychologist I would never make it in college. My comprehensive skills & vocabulary was very low.
Anyways. I have earned a certificate in human services. (college level)
thats what u be after u be eight…..killed that
Charge by the hour.
Charge what you think you are worth. Under price yourself, and that is exactly how your potential clients will think of you…. as something cheap and not worth the money….
Look and see what others are charging, and charge a similar rate…
oh my spelling mistake “righting should be writing”…
I found two sites for you to check out.
Have a great day
It depends where you live. if you live in England, those types of tutoring would be around £20 an hour.

Here's what you can do to find clients/students:
1. Put up fliers in supermarkets, laundromats, library bulletin boards.
2. Find out if there are community centers or libraries that offer facilities or programs for tutoring.
3. Take out an advertisement in a local newspaper–for cheaper rates, look for weeklies or all-ad papers.
4. Put fliers on phone poles.
5. Make several 15 minute public-access cable programs that present lessons in your subject(s), and let the cable company show them on public access channels.
6. Wear a t-shirt custom-printed that says "Tutor for Hire!"
7. Go to sites that allow you to post free ads.
As a private tutor you can charge a higher rate but you are restricted to specific area – smaller market of potential students. If you tutor online, the rate is lower but you can have a worldwide market of potential students. Try sites like: http://www.tuitionplaza.com/tutoring/ , http://www.tutor.com ,… many other sites. Hope this helps you.
hahahah that commercial in the beginning is hilarious
