In the U.S., there are different levels of certification; level I, II and III. Although it's possible to attain higher levels of certification, once an instructor moves past level III, they are typically not giving lessons to the public, but rather other instructors. For the purposes of this question, level I instructors usually teach children and adult beginners. Level II teaches beginners through high intermediate and level III instructors teach beginners through advanced. For teaching a group lesson, level I instructors make about $12/hr (this is for a CA resort), level II $14-16/hr and level III $16-20/hr. Keep in mind, these wages vary from resort to resort as well as state to state. For teaching a general request private lesson, usually saved for level II and III instructors, their wages are increased a bit and if a customer request a specific instructor for a private lesson, the instructor usually recieves a percentage of cost of the lesson: % often depends on length of private lesson and years of experience that the instructor has. And, off course, depending on the level of service and satisfaction, customers can tip accordingly.

wow the instructors at my hill are getting ripped off, they get 10 an hour for group lessons and 15 for private lessons. Most of the time they only get 3-4 lessons a day.
