General question for the PB:

My wife has a degree in art and is beginning to teach information technology on the side. She's had a number of private sessions with people pro bono...and at present the wife of an elder at our church building has asked her to give her 10 yr. erstwhile son some lessons (actually, the son requested information technology ).

The thinking right now is: a single, 1-1.five 60 minutes session per week for half dozen-viii weeks. My married woman would drive twenty minutes across town to practice this in their habitation. According to her lesson plans, the necessary supplies will be about $25 for what the child is interested in.

Even at $10/hr for, say, viii total hours, plus gas and supplies price, it would come up to $125 bare minimum. And, financially, that barely even makes it worth her time. Merely she enjoys it and is willing to exercise it for that. Would any of you all pay that much?

It's funny. When I await at it as the provider, that seems way also little. Simply if I imagine myself at the customer, I'd freak out that information technology was manner too high

That'south comparable to the enrichment co-op here in boondocks, if that helps.

For comparison purposes, you might await at what group classes (non private instruction) cost through a taxpayer funded parks and recreation department.

Here's 1 link (PDF)

The single digit number is the number of times the grade meets. I meet one pastel course, three 90 minute sessions for $72, a unmarried 90 infinitesimal painting class for $thirty; 4 ane hour drawing classes at $52.

Solo lessons ought to be worth measurably more. Based on our market place, y'all are probably undercharging. Your city might be a somewhat lower cost market, but your charges strike me equally beingness on the low side.

Perchance yous could find similar programs over there to effort to see what the market rate is.

Edward makes a good point--my info is based on a group, and individual prices are more often than not higher here, too.

We pay $15 for 1.v hours for group art lessons, and that is me taking her at that place. For me to give a private art lesson at the person'due south house, I think $25 is the minimum that would even be worth it when you cistron in travel time. I'd accuse separately for the materials at that rate. Information technology seems like it would be more than worth your wife'due south time if she could get a couple more than students to teach at the same fourth dimension, and then it would be a little more financially worthwhile.

She could do it for that price to start, knowing that it'southward really not a money maker, merely with the intention of getting her name spread around, which should allow her, if all goes well, to get-go doing group classes down the line, which would be cheaper for the kids and make more than for her.

Then, she'd be using her preparation, making someone happy and practicing skilful business organisation strategy all at the same time. I oft do minor jobs for lilliputian money, and they very frequently atomic number 82 to bigger jobs.

And if information technology didn't work out, she wouldn't accept lost anything.

I would check around and encounter what other teachers in the area are doing. Y'all also have to take into consideration years of experience in pedagogy and success rate. $x an hour is not enough for a private lesson.

To give you an idea, I live in an low income area. I will be teaching a fiber art class this summer, and I will become $25 p/hour per student plus the cost of supplies, and this is for a group lesson. The other teachers in the plan in which I am working are getting between $25 and $40 p/hour per student. Another art plan in our expanse charges $25 p/hr.

Even if you are trying to help someone out, y'all accept to make it worth your problem. I would charge $twenty p/60 minutes, plus the cost of supplies.
