fair notice, a fee that fits, a way back
Drawn for this page. A good policy says how much notice, what a late change costs and how a session is made up.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with a policy code and the date it takes effect.
  2. Enter your rate and the notice you need.
  3. Choose the fees, makeups and exceptions.
  4. Say what happens when you cancel and how families tell you.
  5. Copy the policy into your agreement and share it before the first session.

What the builder is for

Clear beats strict

Families accept a fee they understood in advance. A policy that names the notice, the fee in dollars and the exceptions avoids most arguments, and applying it the same way to everyone keeps it fair.

Leave room for illness

A fee that applies to sick children encourages families to send them anyway. Most tutors waive it for illness and emergencies and rely on notice for everything else.

What this is not

The builder writes plain policy text; it is not legal advice. Put the policy in your written agreement and give families a copy.
