Absolutely no idea how much to charge why not start at the lower end (say £10 for an hours tuition) and increase if you get high in demand.

I'd aim it at jewellrey makers who are maybe looking to expand or try something new.

However will this actually work as online tutoring? I'm imagining that it's quite reliant on being able to see and check the work?

I've done online tutoring. I cannot really see it working for a practical subject. Do you mean teaching the history and theory of it?

I worked for an online school and we used a live system of headset and microphone, and "whiteboards". We didn't use webcams so there was no way of seeing people. We'd have a number of people in the virtual classroom and I believe it was quite expensive for the school to use this system.
