I'm an Aussie/Kiwi/German in China. I don't think I'm Americocentric, but feel free to make your own reality. Economically, let's say out of 9-3PM typical school hours there are 4 productive hours. If we reduce by 25% due to 1:1 effectiveness vs. classes, 3 hours per day @ $20 = $60/day x 5 days/week x 4 weeks = $1200/month. That's really not so bad for 3 hours of private teaching per day. You could easily share it with another child/friend, so optionally divide by that factor ($600/month for 2 kids, $400/month for 3 kids). It's affordable, now, with no special circumstances, for many people. Look at what private schools charge. Here in China, for example, they start at $300/day.
