FAQ's
Why are platform fees higher on single lessons in Lesson Blocks?
Lesson Blocks use a sliding fee scale designed to reward long-term commitment. Single lessons carry the highest fee, while large blocks (e.g. 40 lessons) carry the lowest.
Why do Lesson Offers exist?
Lesson Offers were created to solve the issue of high effective fees on one-off lessons. They allow teachers to offer single or short-term bookings at a fixed, predictable platform fee. They are also suitable for teachers who wish to customise prices per student and implement their own cancellation policies.
When should I use a Lesson Offer instead of a Block?
Use a Lesson Offer when:
A student wants to book lessons one at a time
You’re offering a trial lesson
You want bespoke pricing or terms
A student isn’t ready to commit to a long block
Can I use both Lesson Blocks and Lesson Offers?
Yes. Many teachers use:
Lesson Blocks for ongoing students
Lesson Offers for trials or short-term arrangements
Who sets cancellation and refund terms?
Lesson Blocks follow standard platform terms - 24 hours notice
Lesson Offers use terms set by the teacher
Do I always receive the price I set?
Yes. Your take-home amount is fixed. Platform fees are applied on top and vary depending on the product used.
Why do Lesson Offers include transport fees?
Including transport fees ensures:
Clear, all-in pricing for students
No separate charges after purchase
Better alignment with the fixed platform fee model
