Hiring a local reading tutor in Valley Stream, NY on Care.com will cost an average of $21.55 per hour as of October 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.
