I've been thinking about taking on a few private students... and then this morning, out of the blue, and old business partner (many years ago) emailed me to ask if I'd be interested in teaching him at an hourly rate.

What would be that rate??? Anyone doing it?

Sorry I cant convert to dollars but I charge 30-35 pounds per hour, depending on the client or the job. Although in this case I understand if you want to charge "mates rates" and consider charging less.

For the record I have never taught Photoshop, I am just going on my hourly rate as a designer, I cant imagine it will be so different across the board though.

I've paid for professional software training many times over for work. I'm part of a product design team (CAD).

We pay anywhere from $1200-1800 per day for someone to come here and teach, but then this is in the BIG corporate world. I would suggest you look at what you would make per hour if you were working on a portrait for someone to give you an idea what the potential money lost by being away from your own work; as a starting point.

I'd say it depends on what level you're teaching
novice-advanced. IMO $50 -$100 hr.

The consensus I'm getting for East Coast, USA is $75 to $100 per hour for one on one lessons in Photoshop... So, since the fellow is an old friend, I told him $65/hour. He accepted and we start at 1:00pm on Thurs.

So now, I'm Professor Eyewoo... :rolleyes:

Cool! A little side note.... Maybe make adjustments according to their net income? Some people with a lot of potential dont always have a lot of money and are worth the effort, others have plenty of cash to spare and will pay for your talents =), which you have plenty of.... can I borrow some? hehe.
