If you've ever reached July wondering how you're going to get through the summer before the next term's invoices come in, this episode is for you.

I'm walking you through how monthly billing actually works, why I made the switch, and what life looks like on the other side: income on the first of every month, no chasing, and about an hour of admin per month instead of calculating bespoke invoices every term.

I cover how to work out your monthly fee, how to introduce the change to families without it feeling awkward, and a Q&A answering real questions from teachers, including the one that comes up almost every time about paying during the summer holidays. I also share the tools I use to keep the whole system running almost on its own.

In this episode:

• Why termly billing creates a summer income gap, and why that's not inevitable
• The simple calculation that turns any lesson rate into a fair monthly figure
• How to introduce monthly billing to families, including what to say and what to expect
• Nine practical questions teachers have about the system, with honest, specific answers
• What life actually looks like once the system is running: income on the first of the month, no chasing, no end-of-term recalculations
