At Inver Hills Community College in Inver Grove Heights,MN, we use peer
tutors. The peer tutors are paid $7 per hour. We likewise were losing
tutors to the "outside" where they could get paid more. As of this fall,
any returning tutors or those who have completed 200 hours of tutoring are
receiving $8 per hour. All of our tutors who wish to be paid must carry six
credits per semester and must fill out the FAFSA form to determine their
eligibility. If the tutors do not qualify for workstudy funds, our dean has
made money available for peer tutoring. We are the only place on campus
where a student can work and get paid if you do not qualify for financial
aid.
We have used professionals and retired instructors from the community in the
past; however, we have no funding available so they volunteer their time.

At NH Technical Institute, peer tutors are paid $9.00 (this is in
comparison to work study and intern rate of $7.60). Professional tutors
are paid $15-26 depending on education and experience. We are in an
extremely competitive job market right now.
