For those of you that teach both public and private sessions of the same class - Do you charge more or less per person when you teach a private vs. public class?
 
Take this with a salt shaker since my experience in teaching was for competitive swim lessons, nothing firearms related... I charged much more per person for private lessons than public. I think I made $40/hr for group lessons (3-6 kids) and $60-80/hr for private lessons (60 for 1 person, 80 for 2). Could have gotten away with up to $120/hr for private but could not have increased the group rates. Usually lessons were 30 minutes, and this was all around the 2003-2005 timeframe.
 
I no longer do large groups,so I charge the same for one person,as for six.
 
Whats everybody doing now with the NRA and their "blended" course where they are getting $60 for the online and we are supposed to basically quiz them and do live fire. My attitude is since I am reviewing everything from the online section and then doing live fire my actual course and expenses are the same

I don't teach Basic Pistol any more. I switched to Home Firearm Safety.
