Another factor is choosiness: in school settings, teachers often have to take anyone who comes along. It's easier to be sure of earning a living with a school job, but it's harder to get a reputation as a great teacher when most of the students are average or worse.
A private teacher might take any-old-body, too, and live with mediocrity. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The teacher may be a true altruist who embraces the recognition that music brings joy to many of us (ahem) who are not destined for greatness (or even competency). But the private teacher determined to gain recognition as a great teacher always has the option of making sure that "all my students are above average" by electing to accept only the students who show the most promise in the first place. Later, the private teacher can tell an underperforming or untalented student to go away.
Of course the teacher is probably much too civilized to scream, "Get out of here and squeak like a barn rat for somebody else!"
