And also the charge you would add to this for your own costs Here at Plymouth we would pay 5.65 per hour for the first three and lecturer rate which I think is 23ukp approx for study skills or similar for dyslexic students. When we act as 'supervisors' for student helpers, at the student's request, we charge 40ukp per term. I hope you find this information helpful although I expect that our rates are on the low side. When similar charges were discussed on Dis-forum a while back, the majority of contributors, particularly in London, paid a higher hourly rate than us.
