Will parents pay for a whole half-term up front?

Most prefer it. One payment, a held slot, a plan with an end point, and no weekly faff. The tutors who struggle to charge up front are usually selling 'hours of maths' rather than a named package with a held Tuesday slot and a progress report at the end. The packaging does the persuading.

What about students who cancel or fall ill?

A make-up-lesson policy handles it: one make-up slot per half-term, used within the term, communicated at enrolment. Fair to families, protective of your diary, and it kills the death-by-reschedule pattern that hourly tutoring invites.

I am full. What would I even gain?

Full at what price, with what certainty? A waiting list lets you raise prices with evidence, prepaid terms end the chasing, and the re-enrolment flow means September fills in July instead of the first week of term. Full and structured beats full and fragile.

Does this work for tuition centres with multiple tutors?

Yes, and the payoff is bigger: slot scheduling across tutors, one payment system, and progress reports as a standard product across the team. The same structure, more chairs.

Tutors and tuition centres

Stop selling hours. Sell the term.

Hourly tutoring means re-selling every week and chasing payments in term-time chaos. We set up termly packages with a held weekly slot, prepaid by Stripe or GoCardless, the September re-enrolment flow that fills the timetable before it starts, and the progress reports that make parents stay.

Sound familiar?

The problems we keep seeing.

Tutors come to us fully booked and strangely broke; the structure is the problem.

Every week is a fresh negotiation about next week
Payments arrive late, in cash, or after a chase
September and January surges overwhelm, then vanish
Parents drift away silently between terms
No waiting list, so a leaver is lost income for months
Your qualifications and results are invisible online

What we build

Fixed-scope fixes, priced up front.

Each of these is a defined piece of work with a clear price and a clear finish line, not an open-ended retainer. Start with the one that hurts most.

Self-serve booking and payment

Requests at results moments (grade improved, exam passed, place won) when parents are proudest and most specific.

Three ways to fix this

Do it yourself, have it built, or have it run.

Same system either way. The only question is whose evenings it costs.
