For Passion or for Money?

Haha.. someone left the following comments:

"Just a question, Do you teach Taekwondo for profit or it's the passion that drive you to teach."

The following is my answer to the great chap who asked me the above question:

This is the biggest challenge i faced running the club. Money. Can any organisation be runned without cashflow? the answer is NO. But am i teaching Taekwondo for profit? You can judge for yourself....

For one semester, 3 months, the charges are S$45.00 per student. This works out to be S$15.00 per month. Rental of premise for class is 35% of the fees collected, excluding admin and equipment costs. The remaining is shared by two instructors.

65% of S$15.oo per month = S$9.75 per month.

One month = 4 week @ 2hours each = 8 hours per month.

Profit per hour = S$9.75 / 8 = S$1.22 per hour.

Profit for one instructor = S$1.22 / 2 = S$0.61 per hour.

Now, can anyone tell me is this for profit? :) You decide......
