What Do You Charge For Classes/lessons?

For those of you who have taught a class or given lessons, either group or individual, what have you charged? What was your reasoning?
Thanks for your input.

Never enough. That being said, how much do you want to make an hour/how much is your time and expertise worth - and you price it by the individual, not by the group, and how many lessons/classes, and how many people. Pay in advance, at least before the next one - and no refunds unless sick, dead, or dying. Are you supplying the material if it's painting or drawing - or do the students? how advanced are the students?

Thanks RoyD, it is a non profit in which the class size will vary from week to week. Students will vary in knowledge. The organization will be supplying the materials. I need to come up with a proposal for my time...basically an hourly rate plus travel/milage. I am just looking for an average of what some charge here if they are willing to share.

Hi Chad I teach at a store here. The students buy their own supplies and pay to the store $25 for level 1(2hr. class) $50 for advanced (3-4hr. class).I take a maximum of 10 students. The store pays me 90%. These are acrylic painting classes. Hope that helps.

I have some lessons that I recycle from year to year so my preparation time is cut WAY down. When figuring out what you want to get paid per hour, alot for more prep time that you think. A good rule of thumb is to double the instruction time. If you will lecture/demo for an hour and let them work for two hours, add on 2 hours of prep time (2 x the 1 hour of lecture/demo) for a total of 5 hours. and multiple that by what you want to make per hour.
