How can a tutor get parents to pay penalties for last-minute cancellations, and steer their kids away from asking invasive personal questions?
Your first problem is an administrative headache you could avoid by offering your services as a contractor through a larger tutoring business that has solid billing policies and the means to enforce them. But you would probably be taking home a smaller cut of your earnings, and you might not enjoy the same flexibility and control you have over your schedule.
You can always implement a grace policy for the rare true emergency, and you can head off predictable conflicts by contacting parents before holiday seasons to offer them the chance to reschedule without losing their deposit. In this way, you’re reminding everyone that your time is a finite commodity with a specific value.
