The hour was priced for one. Someone else wants to sit in. Say what
that does to the time and the bill before they show up. Extra-person text is about session size, not a vague “busy day.”
This is a second student, not a helper on a house job.
When to use this
Tutoring / session grew — extra kid or adult joined.
Ask about fee or time before the next session.
Not Extra work for home repairs.
Be clear so nobody is surprised on the invoice.
Second student, extra fee
Same hour. Another person. Name the add-on.
Hi Jordan — if a second student is joining Thursday, that’s an extra $30 for the hour. Same material is fine. Say if they’re coming.
It will go slower
You’re willing. The session changes.
I can take one more in the session. It will go a bit slower. If that’s alright, have them bring their own packet.
Once free, then billed
A sibling sitting in once is different from a standing two-person rate.
The slot is priced for one. A sibling can sit in this once at no charge; after that I’ll need to bill for two.
Same rate this time
Goodwill once.
Hi Jordan — no extra charge for the second kid today. For next time, sessions with two are priced higher — want to keep that format?
Need longer block
Time, not just money.
With two students, we’ll need 90 minutes instead of 60 starting next week. Does that still work on your side?
How to send it
Copy one message, swap in the real name and time, and send from your own phone or email.
Keep it to a few sentences. If they need a different topic, use a Related link below instead of mixing two subjects in one text.
