Thanks to all my UK friends who have expressed interest in working with me during the week July 20-25. I am now safely down in Glasgow and checked into my hotel at Loch Lomand.
The next two weeks will revolve around the Barclays Scottish Open and The Open Championship. Then, on Monday, the 20th, I will begin teaching in Glasgow. The demand in Glasgow will determine the number of days I spend in London. I expect the London sessions to begin no later than Thursday, the 24th. For various reasons, probably the best format is simply to schedule private lessons and offer discounts if students combine together.
My base rate per hour will be 140 GSB for the first student. This is my normal rate (92 GSB) and a 50 percent premium to cover my additional expenses and facilities fees. Each subsequent student will receive a 50 percent discount, i.e., 70 GSB, which will lower the cost for each member of the group. For example, two students will have a combined fee of 210 GSB (or 105 each, a discount of 35 GSB, or 25 percent, off the full private rate. A third student would generate a total hourly rate of 280, or about 93 pounds each, about 33 percent off the private rate. I envision most private lessons to average between 1-2 hours and most group sessions to average 2-4 hours. However, these are merely estimates; no doubt some private and group students will prefer even more time.
For those interested in my personal instruction and who do not want the expense of a trip to the U.S., this is a cost-effective and time-effective way to get it. Please PM me your desired location, date and number of hours. Also, whether or not you would combine with others. Thanks!
