  • Help – what should I do about a student who hasn’t paid and is now ghosting me?

    Posted by Guest Teacher on November 29, 2025 at 6:00 pm

    I’m looking for a bit of advice from other teachers.

    I’ve got a student who hasn’t paid for their last block of lessons and has now completely ghosted me – no replies to messages, calls, nothing.

    I’ve always tried to be flexible and understanding, but this one has really put me in a difficult situation. Has anyone else dealt with this?

    Do you chase it up formally? Write it off? Change your policies?

    I’d really appreciate any thoughts or experiences from others who’ve been through the same thing.

    Let it go …There may be a sad reason for non payment.Or they didn’t value your tuition .Personally have had situation where the student was too proud to admit they had fallen on hard times .I make it clear to all my students if they have a problem with financing just say so We can still accommodate until times get better .That’s just me I understand many tutors cannot afford to do it this way .Ohhh Hope this helps . Best regards Veronica
