Can we get the option to charge half when cancelling a lesson? My last lesson of the day has cancelled with 10 minutes notice, but only by messaging me, so to charge half they would have to cancel it, or I will have to wait till after the lesson and refund half. It’s just a bit of a pain.
Please do let me know if this is already a thing and I’m being a fool!
If the client cancels within 12 hours then it is charged at 50%.
When the tutor cancels before the lesson starts then no fee can be charged.
I thought it was that. I usually get the students just messaging me rather than cancelling. I may have to just ask them to cancel it on tutorful

Suppose what you could do is keep the lesson there, just edit it to 50% of the fee.

It’s ideal if students can do the ancelling their end.

Heather,for this I would not be letting them get away with paying 50%. 10 mins beforehand is not enough. (Tbh, even 12 hrs before is slim). I would already be in the lesson uploading materials. I would wait until the lesson time start has passed before contacting them back. They need to contact Tutorful themselves- dont feel pressurised into cancelling from your side!

Thanks, I’ll definitely keep that in mind for next time. I feel a bit tied with it, as its tutorful policy that it’s half charge if it’s 12 hours before. With students I have outside or tutorful I charge the full rate if its 24 hours or less.

what was the reason behind them cancelling? I think it’s difficult to judge how fair something is without the context. If it was an emergency I would be more inclined to say 50% is fair. If it was, say, “student couldn’t get out of bed” then maybe they should’ve been charged the full price.

She was away and they forgot to tell me. So not really one I’d usually refund.
