FAQ

​

How much do classes cost?

Each teacher decides what they want to charge for their class.

​

Do I have to register for class?

Nope, just show up!

​

What level of experience are classes for?

That depends on the class. Teachers will generally clarify this in their class description.

​

Can I teach more than once?

Yes! You can teach as often as you want, keeping in mind that there are probably other community members who want to teach as well.

​

How does it work with $$?

Here's the dealio. Right now students pay me (Katherine) for class, I reimburse myself for the cost of the space, and the teacher gets the remainder of the money. 

​

Starting July 19th 2023, its going to be a bit different, and here's how it will work: If a teacher makes $20 or more after I reimburse myself for the studio space, the teacher would keep 70% and I would keep 30%. If the teacher makes less than $20 they would keep 100% of the profit. 

 

Here’s what that looks like with real numbers. Let’s say someone teaches class and students pay $70 total. I would reimburse myself for the studio space, let’s say that is $30. There’s $40 leftover. The teacher would keep $28, I would get $12.

 

Although this may seem like splitting hairs, or doing a lot of math for a minimal amount of money, it would help me keep the program sustainable in the long run.
