Hi. By all means you should increase your fees though I think it’s always a good idea to let the parents know before hand. I normally give them 3 months’ notice and tell them what it will be(the cost). If you communicate with parents by letter, it would be nice to put this in a letter. I personally don’t travel to people’s homes as I find it difficult, so well done to you. After Christmas is a good time to start new fees as it’s a new year and term. Giving notice now gives the parents/carers time to plan and gives you an indication of who is sticking with you next year. I have found that when your students make progress and you are dedicated, raising the fee does not tend to be an issue.
Good luck!
