Yeah getting specialized human help that is worth while for anything is expensive. I tried to being a tutor/mentor on some site, forgot off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure in and out or target pays more.
100/hr seems right to charge. Probably still not even enough. If you break it down, you spend a ton of time unpaid doing prep and searching for clients, the work it self is inconsistent, you pay taxes.
It also felt like a race to bottom on prices, where I think 3rd world country people were working as tutors.
I also just got asked to answer homework questions for cheap.
