Online freelance teachers lack a transparent, student-accessible system to track prepaid lesson balances and cancellation policies, leading to disputes and misunderstandings.
Existing tools like Google Calendar and Calendly track scheduling but not lesson balances or cancellation policies in a way visible to students. No lightweight solution exists that combines a student portal with balance tracking, invoice reconciliation, and policy enforcement.
Workarounds Described
- adds a counter in Google Calendar events to track lesson balance
- uses negative counter when student owes lessons
Implied Software Gaps
- Student-accessible lesson balance portal with auto-logging of scheduled lessons and cancellations
LessonLedger
LessonLedger is a lightweight cloud-based portal for freelance online teachers to manage prepaid lesson packages. Students can log in to view their lesson balance, see how lessons are consumed, and understand cancellation policies. It syncs with Calendly and Google Calendar, and automatically applies cancellation rules to avoid disputes.
- Set prepaid lesson packages (e.g., 10 lessons) and track remaining balance per student
- Student portal showing real-time lesson saldo, invoice history, and consumption log
- Auto-apply cancellation policy (e.g., 72h notice) and adjust balance accordingly; notify student
- Integration with Calendly and Google Calendar for automatic lesson logging
