<p>Hi, I’m tutoring a high school student, and this is my first tutoring job so I’m really excited but I was wondering…how do you ask them to pay after the lesson? What’s a good way to bring it up? </p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>
<p>is this private tutoring?</p>
<p>gun point works the best for me, but the downside is that they never show up for the second session.</p>
<p>just kidding. But you should have made arrangements with the parents.</p>
<p>pay should be discussed before you agree to tutor. naturally, once the session’s over, you can remind them, but it’s likely that they’ll be ahead of you on that.</p>
<p>Yeah, this is private tutoring. The parents and I are actually emailing back and forth making arrangements right now, so I should mention it now before the lesson starts? For those of you who tutor for pay, do you guys ask them to pay in cash?</p>
<p>I’ve done private tutoring and usually the parents pay without needing to be reminded. If they need a push, say something like “Before we make arrangements for our next session, it would be great if we could figure out a pay schedule.”</p>
<p>And yes, for private students I took payment in cash. If you don’t really care, tell them to pay you with whatever method they prefer.</p>
<p>I would just wait and see what happens. My guess is that the parent will have money for you at the session.</p>
