Does anyone have any experience about tutoring primary kids? I'm in year 12 next year, and a family friend wants me to teach her son, who is in year 5 next year, once per week. I'd love to do it as a part time job, but I'm unsure about:

- how much I should charge? Is $10 per hour too low/high, seeing as I'm only in high school?
- What do you think are essential foundational skills for primary school kids?
- Do you think tutoring others in year 12 is a bad idea, in terms of it affecting my studies?
- Any tips to make classes engaging/fun?

I do and it's quite funny.
1. Not seeing you as in high school, is seeing him as so young and maybe $15 if one to one as time is precious during yr12.
2.lol, it will be very easy to teach them. The most critical part is ask them to THINK.
3.Not really, but it will be pretty challenge if you can't cope your time well,but will defs improve self confidence and your knowledge.
4.What kind of classes?I know making much can make classes/students feel more interactive and more in a friendly environment but don't forget to teach them the real stuff rather than just trying to make them laugh for the whole session.
