Students Owing Some Money (All Teachers)
-
I have had a student in the past who transferred money in advance for her lesson but then failed to attend and kept cancelling 3 weeks in a row giving me literally one day’s notice. She then requested for the payment to be transferred back to her due to her not being able to attend any more lessons, which I stupidly did. I also have another student (a young girl) whose mum drops her off and then goes shopping and gets back late which means her daughter stays well over her scheduled time. Once she was late 15 mins and my next student had to wait in the car as it would have been utterly irresponsible of me to let a young girl wait outside for her mum. Last week, the mum was late 25 mins! My lessons are half hour so her daughter practically got another lesson for free because again I didnt have the heart to let her out and make her wait for her mum in the cold. Her mum did apologise but the thought of perhaps paying me for another lesson never crossed her mind. It’s experiences like that which make me feel utterly disheartened about this profession. Rant over! :))))

Are you with ISM or someone similar? They can help deal with these situations. I would call them and ask for their advice. They may be able to take action on your behalf x

Yes I’m with ISM, I’ve just checked my bank account and they’ve paid up so I will definitely be in touch with them should this happen again:)

Just an update: they’ve paid! …until one months time when no doubt the next invoice will be late!:)

Listen. Simple as it is. Just get paid up front. There you are:)
