DD is a qualified swimming teacher (and lifeguard), has been teaching for public and private schools for a while. She's just been asked by a woman visitor to the pool where she works if she would provide private lessons in her private pool (potential pupil's private pool). DD has agreed, but not sure what to charge. She's Googled, and the average price is around £55.00 per hour, which DD thinks is a bit too much to charge. I've pointed out that she will need Public Liability Insurance to cover herself for any unfortunate circumstance her pupil might find herself in, whether in her own pool or not. DD has scoffed at me "I'm a Lifeguard as well, Mum". Yes I know that, DD, but you have to protect yourself too, as you still might not be able to save that person's life if the most unfortunate of events were to happen. What if the pupil has a heart attack, or a stroke, or anything, that any amount of Lifeguarding won't be able to help.
So would someone more knowledgeable agree that DD needs PLI to safeguard herself, if nothing else? Therefore, is £55 a reasonable price for 1:1 tuition?
Thank you in advance, if I don't come back immediately to reply to any answers.
