How to invoice for tutoring

This tutoring invoice maker opens with the lines most tutors bill for, so you edit rather than start from nothing.

  1. Add your name and contact details, then the parent or person paying. Put the student's name in the invoice details.
  2. Edit the lesson lines: write the subject and date of each lesson, set the hours as the quantity and your hourly rate as the price, and delete lines you do not need.
  3. Add a due date and your bank details, choose one of the 13 designs, and download the PDF to send to the parent.

Bill per lesson, monthly or as a package

Most tutors use one of three ways to bill. Pick the one that matches how the family books lessons:

Ways to bill for tutoring
How you billWhen it suits
Per lessonOne-off sessions, exam cramming or students who book irregularly
MonthlyA regular weekly slot, billed at the start or end of each month
As a packageA block of lessons paid upfront, often at a lower rate per lesson

Whichever you choose, keep it the same for each student. A private tutor invoice that arrives on the same day each month, with the same layout, gets paid faster than a surprise.

For a package, bill it once as a single line with the number of lessons in the description. On later invoices, add a note of how many lessons are left, so the family can see what they have used without asking.

What to include in a tutoring invoice

An invoice for tutoring services should let the parent check every lesson at a glance. This tool has a place for each of these:

  • Your name or business name, contact details and logo
  • The parent or person paying, with their contact details
  • The student's name, so the invoice is easy to match to the right child
  • An invoice number, the invoice date and a due date
  • Each lesson with its subject and date, the hours and your rate
  • Any package, learning materials or late cancellation fee as its own line
  • Your bank details and any notes, such as your cancellation rule

Listing the date of every lesson avoids most disputes. If a parent remembers three lessons and the invoice shows four, the dates make it quick to check and settle.

Teaching two children in the same family? Send the parent one invoice and start each lesson line with the child's name, so the invoice still shows who had which lesson.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tutor invoice generator free?

Yes. You can use it as often as you like with no sign-up, and the PDF has no watermark.

Is there a free tutor invoice template?

Yes. This page is a ready-made one with the lesson lines filled in: complete it online and download a PDF. It is not a Word or Excel file.

Where is my tutor invoice data stored?

In your browser, on your own device. The student's and parent's details are never sent to our servers.

Should I invoice per lesson or monthly?

Monthly is easier when you teach the same student every week. Per lesson suits one-off or irregular sessions.

How do I bill for a cancelled lesson?

Add it as its own line with the date and your cancellation fee. Make sure your cancellation rule was agreed beforehand.

Do tutors need to charge tax?

That depends on your country and whether you are registered for VAT, GST or sales tax. If you are not registered, you normally do not add tax. Check your local rule.

Who do I address a tutoring invoice to?

The person paying, usually the parent, with the student's name on the invoice as a reference.
