If you're going to make accusations, learn to search properly.

Well that'll teach me to respond to another poster's claim of having looked up a person on USCF . ..
If they are just beginning then charge $30.
If they are 1000+ charge $40,
If 1400+ then $50.
And make sure you put that your the 12th best player in your state in your advertisements...
Oh I see nevermind I would Give teaching for free I do not believe gaining money from Chess by teaching youngsters has as big a value as doing it for free
unless you need money
I've found coaching for free to be largely a waste of time, for all concerned. If they're not paying then they're not learning. Money concentrates the student's thoughts.
If one tries to make a living (partially at least) from chess I don't think you can eat the value you get for doing it for free..
If thet can get free coaching in their local club then don't stop them.
@ Carolus, In the state I'm in, there's nothing like that here in our small clubs. We only have a few experts here.
great than i join a club
There's been some good suggestions here, so I'll add a different one. How much would you be embarassed to take? If they offered you 200/hour, you'd probably tell them that's too much. If they wanted the lessons for free, you'd feel you were being ripped off. Find your own high-and-low and go from there. Maybe start off low (I always did first session free, then $10/hr. I'm not 1900, but I'm a good teacher) and then go to a 'regular' rate after you've established that you're a good pick.
how do you become a good teacher?? i want to be one too
I did some education research in college, was a teaching assistant for 5 years, did some online tutoring as well, and I've always had a bit of a knack for it. So, like everything else, practice =).
Oh, and patience. ...lots of patience.

Dammit! How much should I send you?

The kids don't give a damn what it costs. The parents are paying. If a child wants to learn, then it will learn. If it doesn't, then send it home.

I would never attempt to teach a child, money or not. I could see myself throttling him, after some cocky remark or act of petulance.
Postal chess from a cell, does not appeal.

From the perspective of both a guitar teacher and scuba instructor: it is amazing how much the parents will influence how seriously a kid takes things if they're paying money for it . . .

Strange, I just looked him up and he is rated, 1943 for regular, 1927 for quick. Unrated for blitz only. This is on USCF, not FIDE.
