I'm sure enough money will reveal her 'happy place'
it does with me.
I haven't refunded yet - mainly because I'm annoyed and have other things going on..

Remember, it's your business so lessons are done on your terms, not theirs.
Only once did I have to take parent to small claims court, but they paid straight up after being served - legal fees were more than the original lesson fee!

The Q was posed to ascertain the numbers that do and any 'softners' on how to work it so the punter doesn't run...
So while it might not have helped you, I hope it's reassured others.

I'm my own teacher. As I never showed up for lessons, I ended up firing myself. It could be why I don't progress but I was fed up getting let down, sat there waiting to teach guitar when my student would be watching Netflix or jamming on the one string banjo.
The jokes on him now, he's still shit.
I don't doubt he would do his best to be flexible (eg reschedule) if unforeseen circumstances arose but wouldn't whinge if he stuck to the letter.
You don't think if I wanted to make something for completely selfish purposes... I couldn't have just made the video and made no mention of this forum?
You know how you'll get more responses to your question? If people like me actually make an effort to keep people joining this forum.
What have you done for the community recently? Other than make someone who gives a lot of time want to go elsewhere.
I started these videos because people on this forum had been real nice to and about me, so I decided to make this site the one I championed.
What was your thread being used for? You own purposes? You need to ask people if they charge for people wasting their time? One might argue that your thread is even more pointless than my video.

I try to push blocks as much as I can (I offer 5 and 10 lesson bookings) but more than half do it by the lesson so there's a big risk of them missing a week and you losing that money. Thing is I play in a band and sometimes need a spare evening to rehearse or do a gig, so I need a bit of flexibility. Otherwise I'd do a flat fee for 4 lessons (monthly). This eliminates the problem and makes sure you get the same money each month until further notice.
Sometimes if a lesson has been missed and I have an hour free I'll make it a 2 hour lesson the following week, or move the lesson day they didn't show up on, recently someone didn't show on a Weds evening so I rescheduled to a Thursday night.
I've had to use the Musician's Union a few times to chase up missed lessons and had some success, also when students don't give me 4 weeks written notice and haven't paid up, had a couple of nasty encounters there.
