A season that ends in May
Most AP history students start in September with weekly reading checks and essay practice. In March and April many of them want a second session each week; add another weekday to their series, with its own time, or add single sessions in free hours of the grid.
After the exam, end the series. Past sessions and payments stay in the student's history. Going away in July? A vacation removes every lesson in those dates automatically, and prepaid money waits for the fall.
DBQ workshops for three or four students
Timed essay practice works well in small groups. Make it a group lesson, give it a name and a color such as “DBQ Sunday”, and set a separate price for each student. Payments and missed sessions are marked per student, and you can move the whole group to another day in one step.
One reminder arrives before the group lesson, not one for every student.

Homeschool families and middle school social studies
Homeschooling families often hire a history tutor for two or three children, during the day. Each child is a separate student with their own price, length and balance, even when one parent pays for all of them; add the payment to each child's balance.
The schedule can be shown as a week grid or as a list, which is handy when your daytime homeschool sessions and evening AP students fill very different parts of the week.
Your income across the school year
History tutoring is seasonal: busy from February to May, quiet in summer. The month ring shows what you earned, what's due, what's still upcoming and what you lost to cancellations, and you can compare months to plan for the slow ones.
Tap a student in the ring to see exactly which sessions make up their part of the month.
