Dealing with transactions

1.  I think an excel sheet is good for recording your students' payments. I don't usually keep a record of my students' payments because I don't charge weekly. Instead, I charge them for every six lessons and give them a receipt upon receiving the upfront payment (while keeping a copy for myself). I prefer this kind of payment method because it saves me from having to deal with your 4th point - awkwardness when someone does not pay. I do often receive late payments but I've never encountered a student who failed to pay the upfront fee. You should stop tutoring that person if they can't pay after 2-3 lessons. 

5. I charged $25 in my first year. Now I charge $35 (tutoring for 5 years). I'm going to increase it to $40 when land a job as a secondary teacher. For group sessions, I usually take $5 off per student. Some tutors charge more based on their VCE results but I think you should take into account other factors (my tutor charged $50 because she received a perfect study score but she really sucked at tutoring)
