The Freelancer OS forTutors
Contracts that cover scheduling and cancellation for tutoring. Invoices parents and students actually pay. Tax guidance for term-time income.
Common Startup Problems
Becoming self-employed should be filled with excitement, and not a mad scramble for contract and invoice templates, or worrying about tax or how to look professional.
Cancellation policy confusion
Students cancel last minute. Parents reschedule without notice. Without a clear cancellation policy in a signed contract, tutors lose income every week with no recourse. It adds up fast over a school year.
Invoicing parents and students
Who do you invoice — the parent or the student? How do you track weekly sessions across multiple clients? Most tutors cobble together invoices in a spreadsheet and chase payments over WhatsApp. It's unprofessional and exhausting.
Tax on term-time income
Tutoring income peaks in term time and drops in holidays. That irregular pattern makes it hard to know what to set aside. Most tutors either overpay to be safe or underpay and face a January surprise.
