   Maybe something like 25 – 50/hr. I’d say base it off of tutoring cost in your area because essentially, thats what you’re doing. If i was in your situation, thats what I would do.

   Depends on if you will be offering some sort of certification, then you can charge more. But just for learning purposes I would say break it down by the lessons or topic rather than hourly. Sure it may take some people longer to learn but making them pay hourly will only make them more nervous and get frustrated.

   Also depends on how in depth you are planning on teaching, obviously HTML basics will take less time than advanced Programming.

   But if you need hourly just sneak it into sessions:

   I would say 40 dollars for about a 2 hour session for simple stuff, maybe 60 per 2 hour session for more advanced teachings. So you are either making 20 dollars an hour or 30 an hour.

   Many classes like AppDev.com and PDSA Training usually charge around $2000 for one week of training. (Group Rate) That breaks down to about $50/hr for professional small classroom training. Now what you are talking about sounds like remote/1v1 training which even though it’s good, it actually is less because you’re not physically in the room with the student.

   You might want to consider on-line side work and/or coding solutions for hire. You usually get paid a lot more for construction type work than training.

   I’d say maybe $25/hr for tutoring on-line, but getting someone un-stuck with hard flash problems and/or debugging JS is easily worth $125/hr. The only hard thing there is finding work.

   If you do decide to do training look at AppDev and PDSA as a template, build out some courseware and put together a class and sell a class, try to get multiple attendees to help boost income.
