    How to fire/replace customers in a proper way

    QUESTION 
    I understand and maybe it's the only rational way. BUT I think it's pretty rough. Some could write bad ratings on my profile. Since I increased my prices, the demographics of the parents of my students have changed, so it won't be affordable to pay twice the price (private lessons are pretty...

    INTRO 
    For that, most of my students are interested in physics lessons. But so far, I prefer just being the best tutor in maths in France first before spreading to new directions. My niche is that I focus on the two last years of maths in high school and make sure that the students get the studies...
