How to determine the price of your web programming classes?
Whether you advertise on a platform that connects teachers and students or not, you will have to set the price of your programming classes.
I will strongly recommend you to read this article:

We recommend that you start by thinking about your needs first. How much money do you need? If it's a complementary activity that you can only dedicate a limited time to, you can expect to earn an additional € 200-500 per month. On the other hand, if you want to earn a living with this activity, you will have to aim for a salary of between € 1,200 and € 1,500 net per month at least.
Also, keep in mind that you will have to pay taxes on your income as a teacher as you are self-employed: the Social Security fee (every month) and 20% of the personal income tax every three months.

Once you have an idea of the amount you want to receive each month, you will have to face the reality of the market:
- Look at the prices of the competition in your city. Prices are different depending on the geographical location, so a private programming class will cost more in Madrid or Barcelona than in Soria or Guadalajara.
- Take into account your travel expenses: if you teach programming classes at your students' homes, you will have to take into account the time it takes to arrive, as well as the expenses related to travel (gasoline, wear and tear on your vehicle, tickets or public transport voucher…).
- The more advanced your students are, the higher your fees and vice versa. Teaching a new language to a beginner requires less work and knowledge than helping a master's student correct his lines of code and progress.
- Set your price according to your specialty (it is the law of supply and demand): Visual Basic or VBA, Perl language, robotic programming, Python programming, video game programming, XML, MySQL ...
