About the template
What this tutor quote template covers and why parents commit to quarterly blocks
Tutor quotes lose bookings when 'lessons from $ X per hour' is the only line. The template below shows session count and length, block discount for prepaid terms, materials fee, travel, and any exam-prep extras.
Parents prefer quarterly blocks for cash flow predictability. Quoting a 10-week or term-based block at a small discount lifts attach rates and reduces no-shows.
What to include
Every private tutors quote should have these lines
Use it as a checklist when you build your quote from scratch, or pull the QuoteGenio template that already has them.

Common mistakes on private tutors quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Hourly rate as only line
Better: Block pricing with discount converts better than hourly. Parents prefer prepay for predictability.
Mistake: Travel surcharge silent
Better: State the radius and per-visit surcharge so in-home rate makes sense vs the studio rate.
Mistake: Materials hidden in hourly
Better: Practice papers and workbooks are real cost. Quote separately or include explicitly.
Mistake: Cancellation policy missing
Better: State '24-hour notice or session forfeit'. Without it, no-shows ruin scheduling.
Mistake: Online vs in-person rate not stated
Better: Online lessons typically 10-20% cheaper (no travel). State both rates explicitly.
Mistake: Exam-prep premium silent
Better: Exam-prep period (April-June) often commands 15-25% premium. State clearly so parents commit early.
