Estimates suggest startup costs are typically around £100 to £800, depending on your equipment, video call tools, insurance and how you promote your lessons. Many people start with what they already own and add to it as bookings grow.

Estimated monthly revenue is typically around £200 to £1,500, depending on how many students you teach, your lesson prices and how many hours you offer. Results depend on the students, so avoid promising auditions or places.

Check safeguarding when teaching under-18s, including an enhanced DBS check and involving a parent in bookings and lessons. Also check suitable public liability or professional indemnity insurance, and your data protection duties if you keep student details or record lessons.
