Money in, money out
Students pay Ridly Academy. When a lesson is taught, the tutor earns 80% and you keep 20%. You pay tutors every Friday for the lessons they taught.
Held for lessons not taught yet: $0. This money is not yours or the tutor's until the lesson happens, because the student can still cancel.
