Because we love our students, we teachers do so much for them outside the regular lesson time for which we are not usually compensated -- but when students cancel a lesson, they want a refund or a make-up lesson.
Taking the advice of many of my teacher friends, I've decided to change from a pay-by-the-month policy (for the number of lessons per month) to a monthly tuition.
I decided how much I wanted to charge per lesson and divided it by the number of weeks I teach during the school year. The tuition makes bookkeeping easier for the students and ensures me of a steady income.
