Set your hourly rates

Your default rate, a student's own rate, and why a new rate never changes sessions already on your calendar.

For tutors. Updated October 2026.

Where to find it

Settings, then Preferences, then Default hourly rate

A student's own rate is on their page under Details, and in their family's Invoice settings.

Steps

  1. In Settings, then Preferences, type your Default hourly rate and press Save changes.

    Every student without a rate of their own is charged this.

  2. To give one student their own rate, open their page, go to Details, type an Hourly rate and press Save changes.

  3. Or, on a family's page under Invoice settings, tap a student's rate in Hourly rates, type the new one and press Enter.

    Students on your default rate are marked default there.

  4. To put a student back on your default rate, clear their Hourly rate and save.

An example

Your default rate is AED 200 an hour. Sara and Omar have their own rates, and Lucas uses the default:

Sara Al Mansouri, her own rate
AED 220 an hour
Omar Al Mansouri, his own rate
AED 150 an hour
Lucas Chen, your default
AED 200 an hour

Good to know

  • Each session copies the rate when you add it. A new rate is used for sessions you add from then on; sessions already on your calendar, past or upcoming, keep theirs.
  • A weekly schedule keeps the rate it was made with, for every session it adds. To use a new rate, open one of its sessions, press Stop weekly schedule, and add it again with Repeat weekly.
  • To charge a different amount for one session only, type a total for it: Charge your own price for one session.
  • Invoices list each session at the rate it was booked at. One total, the layout with a single line, leaves rates out.
