Coach's experience and qualifications: 

A highly certified and experienced coach will likely charge more than a beginner coach.

Your location: Lessons in big cities or affluent areas tend to be more expensive.

Your age and skill level: Lessons for children or beginners may be slightly cheaper than those for adults or advanced players.
