The hourly rates of pay for Home Tuition are aligned to my Department's Circular 0015/2015 which sets out the hourly rates for teachers.There are two rates of payment applicable to tutors engaged in the provision of Home Tuition - the standard rate and the modified rate. These current rates came into effect from the commencement of the 2015/16 school year.
The standard rate is payable to tutors registered with the Teaching Council where (1) A qualified Primary School Teacher teacher is tutoring a primary student (2) A qualified Post-Primary School Teacher is tutoring a post-primary student.
Teachers who are not registered by the Teaching Council as qualified in the sector for which tuition is being provided, will receive the modified rate of payment. Teachers who are registered and qualified and who are in receipt of payment of a public service pension will also receive the modified rate of payment.
Details of these rates are set out in the appendix of the Home Tuition Circular 0038/2015 which is available on www.education.ie.
