I agree. Experts may be interested in answering questions for wages around 10 dollars per question or problem. As you pointed out most questions and explanation sessions will not take a full hour. In general I agree with tentonova2. Going rates are 10 to 20 times minimum wage. It's scary to imagine what sorts of people you'll get for minimum wage. All this being said, If it's well organized and non-for-profit I would be interested in volunteering to work one on one with students. I am a strong believer that mentoring is a great way to train inexperienced programmers. I imagine most of us have, at one point or another, ended up helping someone with their Math assignment at the local coffee shop. It would be nice to provide the same help to inexperienced programmers with the same casual relationship.
