Chegg has offered competitive compensation rates to its tutors. The exact pay rate can vary depending on factors such as the subject being tutored, the tutor's qualifications, and the demand for tutors in that particular subject. Tutors are typically paid per hour of tutoring or on a per-question basis. Chegg pays online tutors from $51 to $300 per hour. In this, your subject also matters, which level of student you are teaching.
