Experienced tutors, what was your starting price?

Hello, I’m just starting out on Preply and looking for some advice. I have 17 years of experience teaching/tutoring, MA certified etc. Preply recommended I start at $10 but I feel like that is low, so I put $18. No trials yet. I’ve also read a lot of posts about teachers having difficulties raising their prices later on with their regular students (awkward, fear of losing students etc).

I understand it takes time and am willing to lower my price to get students, I’m also an English tutor which is the most saturated market. I’d like to hear from experienced/qualified tutors. How did you start out?
