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

    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:)

    The invoice that is late is for 4 lessons missed over the course of a month (I teach 2 children out of the family), but there is another invoice for one more missed lesson in February, but that isn’t due until the beginning of next month.

    The parent has text me back saying that payment will be made tomorrow, but now having the cheek of trying to reschedule tonights lesson to monday – I’ve told them there will be no reschedule until the payment is made. So just got to see what happens tomorrow!

    They used to be really good in terms of paying – they would pay in cash at the start of the lesson, then this all changed as of December, they’ve become very sporadic and I am barely seeing the students (they keep cancelling an hour before the lesson so I am still charging for lesson) I’m considering making them move to the ‘pay monthly’ scheme so that there is less chance of this happening again, and I get payments for the full month in advance. I have spoken to the parent about the regularity of the lessons and they’ve said they want to carry on with them.

    I’ve had to write off earnings before, with both students and other teachers I have worked with in the past (but thats a whole other story lol)

    Just glad to know that what I’m doing is right!

  • Hi Alice,

    I unfortunately had problems with my neighbours in regards to teaching at home (it was more because they didn’t want me to work from home but it’s a long story!)

    I would definitely recommend speaking to any neighbours that would be affected and perhaps look at any parking solutions if any neighbours complain about parking. I would also check the deeds to your house as I found out that most don’t actually let you run a business from home!

    Hope this helps!:)

  • I had one 2 years ago I believe, I remember he picked the voucher up for his wife on Christmas eve and it wasn’t long before that he enquired about the vouchers:)

    Not had any enquiries for them this year though but hopefully there will be a little boost for the New Years Resolutions in January:)
