How to grow your payments app with tutors and coaches
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Tutors and coaches often teach many students for small fees and spend too much time chasing payments. A simple way to send a payment request and see who has paid can win them over quickly.
Understand how they get paid
Ask a few tutors and coaches:
- Do families pay per lesson, per week or per term?
- How do they remind people who have not paid?
- What do they do about cancelled lessons?
- How do they keep records?
Make paying easy for parents
A payment link sent after each lesson or at the start of term, with the student's name and the amount, removes awkward conversations.
Show them who has paid
A simple list of paid and unpaid students is often the feature tutors love most.
Grow through their network
Tutors know other tutors, and every parent who pays sees your app. One happy tutor can bring many more.
