Additional Costs of Driving to Tutor

By Shari Nielsen

I recently found out that due to increased fuel prices and budget constraints, my daughter’s school will be shutting down at 2:45 every day so all after school events are canceled from now to the end of the year. This means no more Brownies after school, no more book fairs in the evening, no more meetings, etc. It is really hitting everyone hard and canceling a great deal of activities that the kids really look forward to. It won’t be long until other activities such as field trips are also affected.

I was wondering if this was hitting other schools too so I did a quick search online and found many frustrated and irate parents who were in the same boat. I also found a quick blog post by a fellow blogger who was voicing her opinion about this issue here.

The increasing gas prices may also be affecting the tutoring field. It will now cost more to drive to clients’ houses which will cut into profits, causing tutors to either earn less or charge more. This may make online tutoring more appealing for both tutors and clients. Consider the benefits of tutoring from the comfort of your own home as opposed to traveling by car to meet with a client – a much better financial decision!
