Teachers who do not collect tuition monthly set another term, such as a semester or a quarter. Find out how your child's teacher does this. Some teachers allow weekly payment if you make arrangements in advance. Most parents who begin with weekly payment soon change to monthly because of convenience. If this concerns you, be sure to call references when you are looking for a teacher .
Many teachers have a late-pay penalty fee.
This fee will be applied systematically to everyone who is late. If your child's teacher has such a fee, do not ask for an exception. Know where tuition payment is to be placed. If you do pay in cash, ask for a receipt. Most teachers prefer checks, because they're easier to track, so if you have a choice, please pay by check.
