I think 15 for 2 hours is a bit expensive for Cyprus standards. I think if you increase the class number to 10 instead of 7 and use good but not the most expensive software you could cut the cost and offer the lessons for 10 pounds per session. Also consider using some software that your students will be able to find free or cheap educational (or pirated ) versions and can run on normal computers so your students can practice what they learn at home.

Well 2 years back I remember paying £20 per session for a Photoshop course.
It was quite a lot of money but it was an advanced course and it wasnt just the stuff that they teach you at schools or you can teach yourself by practice.
What I'm trying to say is that it all depends on the content of it. If it's worth the money then I'm willing to pay for it.
I've been to computer classes where they started by teaching us the right click of the mouse and what does it do
I had to leave after 10 mins because I couldnt stand it.

This will definitely be top quality teaching! That is my main focus. I don't want to go above 7 students because I have taught between 4 and 10 kids before and above 7 - they just don't get the attention they need. I really want to concentrate on making sure the kids learn as much as they can as well as they can and if it means the course is a bit pricey - then I would rather have less kids instead of lowering costs and not giving them 100%.

Has anyone heard of any courses similar to this already going on in Cyprus?
