Teaching people directly and offering personal mentorship is the teaching model. The price is just set at a point that people are willing to pay us. It has the added benefit of keeping the bar for student motivation high. That's not the only way, as Hacker School has shown, where the tuition is free and they instead filter purely on applications. Not many websites are offering the personal touch online, and I personally think more people should. I think http://railstutors.com/ http://railstutors.com/ are an example of two guys doing it right. Judging by the success of DevBootcamp/Hacker School/Etc. have had, I think it can safely be said mentorship is a pretty effective teaching model. Our job is to make that model work online as well.
