I would not consider paying an hourly rate but I would pay a day rate. I would expect the person to have clear skills and be reasonably available enough to be useful. I would not pay for travelling time. I would not have any concerns about teaching qualifications, and they would need to sign an indemnity so that I am not responsible if they injure themselves.
Hello,
You would pay for travelling times, whether you realise it or not; it would be lumped into the daily rate with umpteen other costs such as insurance, that had nothing to do with the tuition, but need to be paid.
There could be no such indemnity if it pertained to a disclaimer. You cannot overrule anything legally binding such as health and safety issues. If the tutor damaged himself because something did not comply to H and S rules any 'indemnity' would be worthless. It would be equally true for the tutor expecting the indemnity to cover injuries to the student.
You are right about the daily rate rather than an hourly rate, though. I can't imagine it being less than about £250 per day, though.
Mike.
