I also agree they should be well paid, and am friends with quite a few teachers of different instruments (unfortunately the only guitar guy I'm friends with lives too far away). But I would also add that there are quite a few out there who are not highly skilled professionals, and you should always check for qualifications. I think ?20 for half hour, or ?30 - ?35 for an hour is fair.
