This page, Paperwork, demonstrates how an A 1 Tutors tutor must fill out the report cards and accounting sheets anywhere in the United States for several fictitious students during a particular month.

We require tutors with at least one active student during the month to send us a monthly deposit and a monthly mailing on the last day of the month. The deposit must be prepared on or before the last day of the month. It consists of an online Paypal deposit of one-half all tutoring fees collected that month. The mailing must be prepared on or before the last day of the month. It consists of several Student Report Cards, one for each active student that month. We must receive this mailing by the sixth of the following month.

Currently, we no longet accept payment by credit card. Therefore, our new Student Report Cards will no longer show the third line (MC/Visa/Amex:) and the eighth column (Credit Card Amount). If you come across any of our old , simply ignore the third line and the eighth column.

Peter Pupil -- Paid By Cash     Top Of Page

Your first student for May 1995 was Peter Pupil whose family always paid you $40.00 per hour in cash. One and one half hour lessons were scheduled for the 1st, 3rd, 8th, 11th, 16th, 19th, 22nd and 31st. Since the parents cancelled the 3rd with sufficient advance notice, it's NOT on the report card. Since the parents cancelled the 19th WITHOUT sufficient advance notice but you DIDN'T collect the cancellation fee, it's NOT on the report card. Since the parents cancelled the 22nd without sufficient advance notice and you DID collect the $40 cancellation fee, it DOES appear on the report card. Since you believed lessons would continue in June, you checked the Yes box on line 2 after the words: Will Stud Continue Next Month? Finally, you filled out the report card completely, including the totals in column 9 (Total For This Lesson) and on the bottom line (Totals).

Emilio Estudiante -- Paid By Cash Or Credit Card     Top Of Page

Your second student for May 1995 was Emilio Estudiante whose family always paid you $38.00 per hour by cash or American Express credit card. Two or three  hour lessons were scheduled for the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st, none of which were cancelled. At the first lesson of the month (May 3), you saw the credit card used to charge lessons, made sure its number and expiration date matched those we'd given you to write on line three and had the card's owner sign after the words Auth Sig:. Since you believed lessons would continue in June, you checked the Yes box on line 2 after the words: Will Stud Continue Next Month? Finally, you filled out the report card completely, including the totals in column 9 (Total For This Lesson) and on the bottom line (Totals).

Sam Student -- Paid By Check Or Money Order     Top Of Page

Your third student for May 1995 was Sam Student whose family always paid you $36.00 per hour in check or money order. One hour lessons were scheduled for the 1st, 4rd, 8th, 11th, 15th, 18th, 22nd, 25th  and 29th. On the 1st, you received check #172 for $36.00 to cover the 1st. On the 4th, you received check #175 for $36.00 to cover the 4th. On the 8th, you received a money order for $36.00 to cover the 8th. On the 11th, you received check #182 for $36.00 to cover the 11th. On the 18th, you received check #195 for $108.00 to cover the 18th ($36.00), the 22nd ($36.00) and the cancellation of the 15th ($36.00). On the 29th, you received check #199 for $108.00 to cover the 29th ($72.00) and the cancellation of the 25th ($36.00). Look closely at how the 15th, 18th and 22nd are written up. When I receive this report card, I won't conclude you submitted three separate checks, each with the number 195. Rather, I'll realize you sent just one check #195 for $108.00 (That's $36.00+$36.00+$36.00). Likewise, I'll realize you submitted just one check #199 for $108 (That's $72.00+$36.00) for the 25th and 29th). Since the parents cancelled the 15th and 25th without sufficient advance notice and you DID collect the $36.00 cancellation fee, it DOES appear on the report card. Since you believed lessons would continue in June, you checked the Yes box on line 2 after the words: Will Stud Continue Next Month? Finally, you filled out the report card completely, including the totals in column 9 (Total For This Lesson) and on the bottom line (Totals).

Lessons or various durations were scheduled for the 2rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 12th, 13th, 17th and 24th, none of which were cancelled. At the first lesson of the month (May 2), you saw the credit card used to charge lessons, made sure its number and expiration date matched those we'd given you to write on line three and had the cards owner sign after the words Auth Sig:. On the 2nd, you received a money order for $64.00 to cover the 2nd. On the 5th, you received $40.00 in cash to cover the 5th.

On the 24th, you received check #812 for $32 and were authorized to charge Mastercard $32 to cover the 24th. Look closely at how the 12th and 13th are written up. When I receive this report card, I won't conclude you submitted two separate checks, each with the number 793. Rather, I'll realize you sent just one check #793 for $80.00 (That's $32.00+$48.00). Since you believed lessons would not continue in June, you checked the No box on line 2 after the words: Will Stud Continue Next Month? You filled out the report card completely, including the totals in column 9 (Total For This Lesson) and on the bottom line (Totals). Finally, you decided to send us the cash you received on the 5th and the 10th in the form of currency rather than by check or money order.

Larry Lerner -- Paid By Credit Card     Top Of Page

Your fifth student for May 1995 was Larry Lerner whose family always paid you $34.00 per hour by Visa credit card. Two-hour lessons were scheduled for the 1st,  8th, 11th, 15th, 22nd, 25th, 28th and 29st. Since the parents cancelled the 11th without sufficient advance notice and you DID collect the $34 cancellation fee, it DOES appear on the report card. Since you cancelled the 28th, it doesn't appear on the report card. At the first lesson of the month (May 1), you saw the credit card used to charge lessons, made sure its number and expiration date matched those we'd given you to write on line three and had the cards owner sign after the words Auth Sig:. Since you believed lessons would continue in June, you checked the Yes box on line 2 after the words: Will Stud Continue Next Month? Finally, you filled out the report card completely, including the totals in column 9 (Total For This Lesson) and on the bottom line (Totals).

Fran Quitter -- Cancelled All Appointments     Top Of Page

Your sixth student for May 1995 was Fran Quitter. On your April report card, you'd checked the Yes box on line 2 after the words: Will Stud Continue Next Month? believing lessons would continue in May. Indeed, 1.5 hour lessons were scheduled for the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st. Since all five lessons were cancelled by the parents with sufficient advance notice, they don't appear on the report card and you wrote 0 as the total number of hours. However, when Mrs. Quitter cancelled the 31st, she told you Fran's lessons would resume in June. Consequently, you checked the Yes box on line 2. In doing so, however, you're obligated to submit a June report card for her in your June end-month mailing, even if she again has no lessons,

Mary Weissnicht -- Lessons Never Began     Top Of Page

Your seventh student for May 1995 was Mary Weissnicht, a new student who agreed with you to have the first lesson on May 21st. However, a few days after you'd reported to us your success in setting up a first appointment, her mother informed you she changed her mind and decided not to go ahead with the tutoring. Since a student becomes active the moment you inform us of the date and time of a planned first appointment, you had to include a May report card for her in your end-month mailing. Since she had no lessons in May, you wrote 0 as the total number of hours. Since she won't have lessons in June, you checked the No box on line 2 after the words: Will Stud Continue Next Month?
