 My own school charges about 250r/ah (varies with course), and it's a good school. I have found that generally speaking schools charge about 1/2 to 1/3 the teachers' hourly pay, per student.

 So for one student in a class of ten the student only pays 25 rublees per academic hour. You obviously mean per student reaching a total of 2500 rublees per academic.
 
 I only stated 200 rublees per student based on 10  in a class = 2000 per group. It's marketable, believe me

				| Sorry, I thought you were talking about fees per student, not per class. To talk about "2,000 rubles per academic hour (per 3/4 hour in Russia) for say 10 pupils in a class" is a bit confusing. 
 But nobody (not on fixed salary anyway) works 40 ah per week, as your example uses.
 
 Anyway, as I said the school breaks even on the teacher's salary alone at 2-3 students per class. Given costs for admin staff, office/class space, supplies, etc, that's not a huge margin given an average class size of about 8 or so. Certainly no different from the EFL schools in Canada that I'm aware of, which pay the teachers about the same as those in Moscow.
