FAQs for finding reading tutors in Capitola, CA

Hiring a local reading tutor in Capitola, CA on Care.com will cost an average of $25.00 per hour as of July 2025. This rate may vary depending on the experience each candidate has, how often you will need them to help your child with reading and the age of your child.

The goal of hiring a reading tutor is to improve your child's grades and vocabulary.

When hiring a reading tutor, parents are likely concerned about safety.

Once your child gets older, you may even want to switch to a writing tutor who can help them develop their writing skills alongside their reading comprehension skills.
