Faith in this idea: Give me (or any competent teacher) five children to focus on, and I will ensure they are educated much better than most of their peers.
If we needed to take home a salary of $60,000 (equivalent to a 5-year Seattle teacher with an MA), then the per-child cost would be about $15,000, accounting for the need to pay taxes as a small business. Unless we ran as a nonprofit with the parents as board-members.
Alt model: A dozen kids with a co-instructor (paid $30,000) = $10,000 per kid, or about $7,500 if nonprofit.
This is assuming no costs. Work from home? No van?
If six kids per instructor, and 2*1.5 hour individual chunks per kid, half our time would be spent in individual sessions and half in group activities. That means the kids would spend half of each day either working on individual projects, or on team projects without direct supervision, or just enjoying group activities.
If we had a van ($1000/mo for payment and insurance), we'd charge and additional $1000 per student.
It would also be great to have
(a) a nice space to spread out for games and activities
(b) a battery of nice computers for online learning, projects, and games
(c) a yard/farm for outdoor activities, although field trips might suffice
