Cost of Classes

Since there are so many factors that go into pricing (how many students are in the class, how many sessions, how long each session is, etc.). I like to keep a simple pricing structure based on time of the classes.

I typically charge $400 + travel expenses* for a 2-hour workshop. Younger students (elementary and middle school-age) typically need a shorter class length, and we can discuss scaling this base number to match. Materials are always included in the cost.

However, since students can learn significantly more with more sessions I like to offer a discount​​ if a client orders more sessions, such as a multi-day workshop or an entire day workshop. If you work for a school or non-profit, let's talk about working together on a grant if budget is holding you back!
-----
*For travel, I use the IRS standard mileage rate for 2022, which is 58.5 cent/mile. So for a roundtrip job, I would typically factor in a travel cost of:
  • $25 for a 20-mile radius ($12.50 x2 for a round trip)
  • $60 for a 50-mile radius ($30 x2 for a round trip)
  • $120 for a 100-mile radius ($60 x2 for a round trip)
  • Any further than that, and let's discuss a train or plane transportation.
See the map below for a rough distance gauge from my home base in Essex, CT.
