Watching some Olympic Ping-Pong, and they just said that one NYC-based pro makes about $40/hr. tutoring kids in the spot. Not a bad gig if you can get enough hours. On the other hand, she's in the Olympics. Imagine how much James Blake could get tutoring rich kids on Tennis.

$40 AUD used to be a standard rate for school chess coaching when I last did it a few years ago. Private lessons for $50+/hr.
When you could organize larger groups with children paying individually the 'hourly' rate could stretch to $150 or more with some employees helping out. The key is stringing enough hours together, I used to manage 35 contact hours a week for roughly $40/hr, so a decent wage, though teaching kids really consumes your energy and is most definitely a real job requiring preparation and effort. School holidays were down times, though chess camps were always popular cheap babysitting for parents then.
In chess a world champion like Susan Polgar or Garry Kasparov might get away with something approaching several hundred dollars an hour or more.. $500!? I would guess. All about targetting the right demographic. I imagine James Blake could charge considerably more for tennis coaching.

For further information. When I was involved with the Australian Chess Federation we had discussions with Kasparovs manager about getting him to visit Australia.
If I remember correctly the daily rate back around 1999 for Kasparov was 20-25k USD per day, that ballpark anyhow which was far outside anything an amateur organization could afford.

James Leyden- whose group was founded to foster cooperation between the online industry and government at all levels, and to promote innovation, openness and freedom on the Internet, was just one of the lawyers and representatives of 141 gambling web sites being targeted by Beshear who aren’ t happy to be in the Bluegrass state again. * Here’ s how I react to it. Governor Beshear needs to read the constitution,* said Leyden.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. Do you agree?
