Tutors are paid by the amount of hours they tutor. When I was tutoring 20+ hours a week and had been with Tutor.com for several months, I was making about $1,000 per month.It was nice supplemental income. Care.com has a great article on the average prices of various tutoring services which can give you some insight into how much you can expect to make. enjoyed tutoring when I was a student, and I can see how this would help out a lot of people in need – both who need a tutor and those who want to use their knowledge to make some side money. Thanks for the creative share. says: January 16, 2012 at 9:11 pm. tutor.com … cool startup idea..
