I disagree Salathe. He is targeting students at high school here, so I don't think they would be willing to pay that much. If he were aiming at a market of a higher age, then yes, that would be sufficient, but judging from his targeted market he can't charge £25/hour.

Students were just 1 audience i was thinking of. I'm willing to target to anybody with the need to want to learn css and xhtml.

I dont see any legal issue with you teaching others for a price. You are simply providing a service.

I taught Martial Arts for over 8 years, had three clubs running, and never had an official license for any of it. I advertised publicly, ran seminars, did everything in the open and never had any problems with running a service teaching others.

I have also run some paid basic seminars and group discussions on web development, coding and SEO in my local area to local businesses. These are normally charged out at $25 an hour per person.

i have been teaching html/dreamweaver for about 5 years and it is good business if you can exponentiate your effort.

you could charge 5 per hour only if you can gather a group of 10 or 15 students.
this will make it worthwhile and it is pretty much the same effort because is all in the same amount of time.

Hi BRHJamie,

Just seen this. I teach English as a foreign language and although there are no laws that I know of that would prevent you from teaching online, potential students are going to want to see some form of qualification to show that you are capable of teaching. That said, what about using Skype (or similar) to give them that live classroom feel.
