About Paid Lessons: Rates, Travel Rules & Receipts

Once our office confirms your student's enrollment after the Free Trial Lesson, you can begin conducting regular Paid Lessons. Review our nationwide fixed fee table, transportation difference rules, and official receipt procedure below.

1. Official Paid Lesson Fee Table (60 / 90 / 120 Minutes)

All paid lessons are calculated in 30-minute units (¥1,500 per 30 minutes for 1-on-1; ¥2,000 total per 30 minutes for 2-on-1 pair lessons), with a minimum lesson duration of 60 minutes. The student pays 100% of this fee directly to you in cash at the end of each lesson:

Lesson Format	60 Minutes	90 Minutes	120 Minutes	Per-Student Breakdown
1-on-1 Private Lesson	¥3,000	¥4,500	¥6,000	1 student pays ¥3,000 per 60 min (¥1,500 per 30 min).
2-on-1 Pair Lesson (2 Students)	¥4,000 total	¥6,000 total	¥8,000 total	Each student pays ¥2,000 per 60 min (¥1,000 per 30 min × 2 students).

2. Transportation Fee Rules & Travel Difference Calculation Example

🚉 Rule A: Inside Your Registered Stations (¥0 to Student)

When a lesson takes place at any train station or area listed on your tutor profile, you must pay your own transportation cost (¥0 charged to the student). Therefore, please only select stations on your profile where you are willing to travel at your own expense.

🚆 Rule B: Outside Your Registered Stations (Fare Difference Only)

If a student specifically asks you to travel to a station outside your registered stations for a Paid Lesson, the student reimburses only the round-trip train fare difference between your nearest registered station and the requested station.

📌 Concrete Calculation Example (Out-of-Area Travel Difference):

Suppose you live near Station X, and you have registered Station A and Station B as your available teaching stations on your profile. A student asks you to hold a Paid Lesson at Station C (which is outside your registered stations, located one line beyond Station B):

• You cover your own travel up to your nearest registered station (Station B).
• The student reimburses only the round-trip train fare between Station B and Station C (for example, ¥160 one-way × 2 = ¥320 round-trip), paid in cash together with the ¥3,000 lesson fee.

• Always agree on this exact fare difference amount with the student before the lesson day so there is zero misunderstanding!

3. Issuing Official Lesson Fee Receipts to Students

Some students receive corporate language-training subsidies from their employer and require a signed receipt for each lesson fee paid. Because the student pays the lesson fee directly to you, you (the tutor) must sign the lesson fee receipt when requested.

(Our headquarters issues receipts for the student's admission and monthly membership fees via https://faq.atoc.biz/sup/receipt.html.)

4. The 8 Golden Rules of Paid Lessons (Compliance Checklist)

1. Wait for Office Confirmation: Never conduct Lesson #2 before receiving our Enrollment Confirmation Email.
2. Strictly Fixed Rates: Always charge ¥3,000/60m (1-on-1) or ¥4,000/60m (pair). Never negotiate higher or lower fees.
3. Pay-As-You-Go Only: Collect the fee at the end of each individual lesson. Never ask for bulk upfront payments.
4. Separate Café Drinks: Always pay for your own beverage at the café counter during paid lessons too.
5. No Prep or Material Surcharges: Never charge extra "preparation fees" or "curriculum fees".
6. Full 60-Minute Instruction: Ensure the student receives the full scheduled lesson time (arrive 5–10 minutes early).
7. Same-Day Cancellation Rule: If a student cancels on the lesson day, the fee is 50% of 1 hour (¥1,500) + incurred transport.
8. Monthly MyPage Login: Log in to your Tutor MyPage monthly to keep your account active.
