Okay, let’s break it down. Cecilia has a strong background in education and project management, which are valuable skills in the US job market. Her experience as a co-founder of a successful language school is also impressive. However, her location in Meridian, Idaho, is a smaller market, which tends to have lower salary ranges compared to major cities like New York or San Francisco. Considering her skills and experience, a rate of $75 per hour seems reasonable, which is below the national average for educators and project managers. This rate reflects the local market conditions and Cecilia’s ability to adapt to smaller market demands.
