Obviously, I'd be willing to give some time as a teacher here. However, I won't be teaching basic harmony, basic musical knowledge, or counterpoint. My own involvement is more geared towards compositional technique, ie: craft. The application of what I've previously written in my mini-guides and in some of my lengthier reviews.
Continuing among that vien, what about a "master class" like setting with team assignments. Students of a teacher can pair up and critique each other's works in depth before the session with the teacher.

This way the teacher can concentrate of advancing the composition skills of the class. The format would be similar to a competition with critiques and reviews, except for it will have lessons to guide the class along with teacher reviews.

I remember taking a similar type of lesson in a small group of eight. This type of setup would not require much teacher hours. However, it would require active engagement by the students to review each others' works based upon the lesson plan.

Perhaps this is the direction we should go, less a one-on-one lesson (which would be horrendously difficult over the interweb), but more of a masterclass, group-type setting:

Teacher presents some material on an assigned topic, students ask related questions...more of a group discussion. This would work well, I think, especially for history/styles based lessons.

?! I dunno.

Sounds like an idea worth considering.
