About Tutoring Invoicing

Tutoring invoices are typically simple and session-based, but there are important nuances: a distinction between one-on-one and group session rates, whether you charge for materials or resources you prepare, and your cancellation policy for no-shows. Tutors working through agencies or platforms need to be clear whether the invoice goes to the parent, the student, or the platform. Independent tutors should also include their qualifications or subject specialisms on their invoice header to reinforce credibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should tutors invoice per session or per month?
Both models work. Per-session invoicing is simpler for occasional or irregular tuition. Monthly invoicing — listing each session date and duration — works better for regular weekly tutoring and is more convenient for parents who need to track spending. Monthly invoicing also reduces your admin overhead.
How should a tutor handle no-shows and late cancellations?
Include a cancellation policy in your terms — typically 24 or 48 hours notice required, with a 50–100% charge for late cancellations. Include this as a named line item ('Late Cancellation Fee') on the invoice. Having it itemised makes it feel policy-based rather than personal, and clients are less likely to dispute it.
Do tutors need to charge VAT or GST?
In the UK, private tuition in a subject taught in schools by an individual tutor is exempt from VAT — this exemption does not require VAT registration. In Australia, private tutoring is generally subject to GST once turnover exceeds $75,000 AUD. In the US, educational services are generally exempt from sales tax in most states.
Should tutoring invoices include the student's name?
Yes — include both the payer's name (parent or student) and the student's name on the invoice. This is especially important when parents are paying for a child's tuition, as it clarifies who the service is for and makes it easier for parents to track education-related expenditure for tax credit purposes.
