Is there any incentive offered by your club for members to become
instructors?

In one of my clubs (Eastern US), our (few) instructors charge students $20-$30 per flight (including ground school). The trainer is a 2-33. Students typically get two or three flights per day, and they are loosely scheduled.. Instruction is primarily given in mornings jn calm conditions.

In my other club (in Britain), instruction is generally free and there are no incentives for them. There are many instructors around at every club, and they are very well trained. The trainers are types like K21 and DG505. Students typically stay at the club all day and help with operations. Scheduled flying is available (the club charges extra for this - they have one paid instructor!), but typically most cost-conscious students get instruction for free.
