Dear Mario,
six three hour classes adds up to eighteen hrs of tuition. Now if you divide the course fees for woodcarving by eighteen this gives you an hourly rate of £9.72 which includes all materials and tools. If in future we decide to run a course in basic arithmetic we will be sure to let you know!!
