Risky
I got a new client who asked me to teach their year 11 child, 2 hours every week. I said okay, I took him through the enrolment process and they loved it (including a 30 minute free consultation). I sent him an invoice for the whole month. He said he can't pay it all upfront. He will pay it on Monday on a weekly bases. Monday comes, the student is ready but the father has not paid. You messaged and called him but he does not pick up. It is possible the father forgot and will pay on Tuesday. What would you do and why? Vote and leave a comment !!!

Reschedule because number 1 time is money! You can find a different student willing to pay on time and take it professionally and seriously. Rather than someone whose parents are not consistent. How do they expect you as the tutor to be consistent?
Guys, I just cut 3 hours from my work schedule whilst making the same amount of money
Basically, I was cut 3 hours a week from my week by cancelling a 2 different group class. How ? I merged two different groups whilst keeping the price the same. The group classes still fell below the maximum 5 students which is good. The other 2 hours I promoted as free but unfortunately the take up wasn’t as I expected so I decided to stop doing 2 hours and start doing 1. Moved a few students around and that’s it. Try this in your business 👍

Great move!
Anyone Taken Time Off to Build Their Tutoring Business?
“Asalamu Alaykum everyone, I’d love some advice from those who have scaled their tutoring business.I’m currently in a position where I’m considering taking 6 months off from full-time work (after my PGCE) to focus fully on building my tutoring income and systems. For those who’ve done something similar:– Is taking a 6-month period to focus solely on scaling realistic?– Did stepping away from full-time work help you grow faster?– Any mistakes or tips you’d share? I want to make a strategic decision, so any insights would be hugely appreciated.

@Muna Muhidin Thank you so much! I completely agree with you. I don't think I have heavy financial commitments so you're right it is the best time to take those risks. I appreciate that.
Sundays are my hardest day
I do 6 hours of tutoring on Sunday. Almost back to back from 11 until 7 with a few breaks in between. My mother often suggest that I should spread them out across the week (since I am free on wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays). I always say "I prefer to be completely free some days than to be half free every day" Which do you prefer ?

Definitely more days off! Might have to use that strategy myself

I was going through the same process mentally good to know that it's normal! That's a great idea.
