Sound familiar?

  • Sets tuition against the centre next door rather than against the cost of a class and the results produced.
  • Deferral and refund rules aren't written down, so each case becomes a negotiation.
  • Discounts for whichever parent asks, and parents talk to each other.
  • Afraid to raise tuition, believing parents will move their child immediately.

After reading, you can

Help a centre owner set tuition and refund policy clear enough to stop case-by-case negotiation.

Each chapter answers one question

  1. Chapter 1: How can I discount without knowing what a class costs?

    What does one of my classes cost for a full course?

    If you do not know what a class costs, every discount is a blind discount.

  2. Chapter 2: Pricing off the neighbours, whose game am I playing?

    What are my fees telling parents?

    Set prices by the neighbours and you are competing on someone else's field.

  3. Chapter 3: Is case-by-case flexibility really the kind choice?

    When parents ask to pause or get a refund, what is my rule?

    An unwritten policy turns every case into a negotiation, and each one is harder than the last.

  4. Chapter 4: What does every discount teach parents about my price?

    Who am I giving discounts to, and why?

    Every discount teaches parents that the listed price is not the real price.

  5. Chapter 5: Does holding tuition steady actually protect quality?

    When did I last raise fees, and on what basis?

    When fees never rise, quality slowly falls, because teacher pay and costs do not stand still.
