Question Do you have to possess ATPL to be PPL level instructor?

Hi,
Was wondering whether you must possess an ATPL to be a flight instructor upto PPL level or whether you may simply undertake an 'instructor module' ontop of you're basic PPL.
If you don't require an ATPL rating how do's this affect the PPL rule of not receiving payment from passengers?
Do you have to be a qualified instructor to carry the public on an 'air experience/familiarisation' flight as paying pax?
Is this why some 'sightseeing' flights appear to be publisised as 'trial lessons'?
Finally, I understand training flights must fly out of licensed airfields but does this also apply to 'air experience' flights for fare paying public?
Any info would be most gratefully received as I am very confused!!
Many Thanks.....Zap
