How to track tutoring hours
How independent tutors can log lessons and deduct prepaid hours without spreadsheets taking over the week.
2026-08-12
Quick answer
Log each completed lesson with date, duration, and student, then deduct from the prepaid package immediately — not at month end.
Why delayed logging fails
If you wait until Sunday night, memory softens. Parents ask about remaining hours. You reconstruct the week from chat history. Same-day logging is the whole system.
A minimal lesson record
- Student
