FAQs for finding high school tutors near you in Des Moines, IA

The average hourly rate for a high school tutor near you in Des Moines, IA is $19.17. This is just an average though and the actual rate you’ll pay for high school tutoring will vary due to a couple of different factors. For example, the experience level of the tutor, the subject your child requires assistance with, and the level of classes your child is taking can all impact the rate a high school tutor charges.

If you’re looking for tutors for high school students near you in Des Moines, IA, you can use Care.com to simplify your search. You can start by filtering available high school tutors by their location and rate. From there you can read their profiles to learn more about their experience and to check out reviews from other clients.

You can find a wide variety of high school tutors near you in Des Moines, IA. From English to writing, to high school math tutors, you can cover all of the basics. You can also find high school tutors who can help your teen study for college entrance exams like the SATs. Some high school tutors even specialize in niche subjects like organic chemistry, biology or calculus.

When you look into hiring a high school tutor for your teen, safety is something that is likely top of mind. To help you find a high school tutor safely near you in Des Moines, IA, we ask all tutors for high school students listed on Care.com to complete a background check known as a CareCheck. You will find a badge on a tutor’s profile that shares when they had this background check run if they completed it. That being said, to safely hire a high school tutor, we strongly advise you to do your own research. This can be done by requesting references, interviewing multiple candidates, and running an independent background check.

Again, interviewing a handful of high school tutor candidates near you in Des Moines, IA is a good idea. Being good at tutoring for high school students depends on their background and teaching preferences. You can ask high school tutors where they learned their area of expertise, what teaching techniques they tend to use, and what subject matter areas they feel most comfortable teaching.
