...and sometimes miss lessons? I want to be fair, especially in the current economic climate, but as of six months ago, being made redundant I chose to teach full time, having only done it in my spare time before. Some students book a lesson, then because of work, or other things that come up, they miss the lesson. I did'nt mind before, but now the financial impact is too high. Also because I teach 1-2-1 and am slowly building my groups and school work, I think things will be better later and do not wish to punish students who could train elsewhere. I don't think these times are for 'old school thought'..in that the student can decide to train or not with you, the 'master' is not so revered in the west as in the east. That said i have many good students, but do not charge much for 1-2-1 (£20 per session compared to £45-60 in my area) and so, I want to survive so I can teach, but also my students to keep coming enough for me to sustain the school. How to manage this without feeling I am punishing them for missed lessons? I don't charge if they make it up within the week. but am wary I sending such a statement to all in case they take it the wrong way. Thank you.
