I Don’t Know How Much to Pay Each Tutor, As Their Schedules Always Change!

If you run a tuition centre or enrichment academy, this might sound familiar. With classes changing weekly, varying student headcounts, and multiple tutors, keeping track of tutor commissions can be a headache.

The Problem: Manual Tracking Gets Messy

Most centres still calculate tutor payments manually, either by using spreadsheets or handwritten records. But when tutors teach multiple classes or when class sizes change, even a small error can cause overpayments, underpayments, or confusion among your staff.

Let’s face it. When schedules shift weekly, keeping the numbers consistent is tough.

SimTrain Eco Fix: Automate Your Tutor Commission

With SimTrain Eco, you can finally say goodbye to guesswork.

The system automatically calculates each tutor’s commission based on hourly rates or invoice-based commissions, depending on how your centre pays tutors.

There are two simple ways to handle commissions:

1️⃣ Hourly Commission

This method pays tutors based on the preset number of students attending per class hour.

Example:

• 1–3 students → RM35/hour

• 4–7 students → RM80/hour

If a tutor teaches 6 students in a class:

• Weekly Commission: RM80

• Monthly Total: RM80 × 4 weeks = RM320

No manual calculation needed — SimTrain Eco tracks attendance and applies the correct rate automatically.

2️⃣ Invoice-Based Commission

Some centres prefer linking commissions to the total billed amount.

Example:

• Commission rate: 20%

• Each student’s monthly fee: RM300

• Total students: 7

The system calculates:

• RM300 ÷ 4 weeks = RM75 (weekly billed amount per student)

• RM75 × 20% = RM15 commission per student/week

• 7 students × RM15 = RM105 weekly commission

• Monthly Total: RM105 × 4 weeks = RM420

The Result: Clarity for You & Confidence for Tutors

No more confusion or back-and-forth checking.

Tutors can view their earnings transparently, while centre owners can easily verify totals. It saves time, reduces disputes, and helps your team focus on what matters most — teaching.

Conclusion

Whether your centre runs hourly classes or fixed-fee sessions, SimTrain Eco takes the stress out of tutor commission management. Automate your calculations, ensure fairness, and keep your tutors happy — all from one platform.
