What to include on a tutoring invoice

• Your name and contact
• Student and parent details
• Sessions with dates, hours and subject
• Your hourly rate and any materials
• Total, amount paid and terms

Session billing, packages, and the cancellation problem

Tutoring bills by the session at an hourly rate set by subject and level — test prep and advanced STEM command the most. The two structural choices: invoice after the fact (weekly or monthly, listing each session) or sell prepaid packages (e.g. 10 hours at a small discount), which fix your cash flow and commit the student. Either way, the policy that decides whether tutoring is profitable is cancellation: a 24-hour notice rule with a charged late-cancel fee, printed on every invoice. Parents are usually the payer while the student is the client — invoice the parent, describe the student’s sessions.

Typical tutoring rates (US)

Subject, level and credentials set the band:

• K-8 general subjects: $25–$60 per hour
• High school math/science: $40–$90 per hour
• SAT/ACT and test prep: $60–$150+ per hour
• College-level and specialized subjects: $50–$120 per hour
• Prepaid package: 5–10% discount on 10+ hour blocks, paid up front
• Late cancellation (<24h): 50–100% of the session fee

Invoicing that works for parents

• List each session as a dated line: date, subject, duration, rate — parents want to see what they bought
• Bill on a fixed cycle (weekly or 1st of month) rather than per session
• Track package balances on the invoice: “Hours remaining on package: 4 of 10”
• State the cancellation policy in the footer of every invoice
• Add a small travel fee for in-home sessions beyond your base radius, as its own line
