Check again.

I was referring to the normal fees she charges, as quoted on her website.

To earn a thousand quid, at her normal rate, without the generous intervention of a local government subsidy form Hyndburn B.C., she'd have to teach 333 people, at £3.00 per half hour class, to earn the equivalent amount of £1,000.00.

Your maths assume that each person is only getting one half-hour long lesson.

However

She is teaching 200 people - divided into 6 groups. Each of those six groups is getting six hour long lessons.
@ £3 per half hour (so £6 per hour)

200 people x 6 lessons each x £6 per lesson = £7,200
