In most cases, one LS is used for one student. However, you can also use 1 LS with 2 or more students at a time. There are some circumstances that 1-3 family members (like mother and children, etc.) will take your lessons with different lesson schedules and might ask you to use 1 LS for the family. The parents can cover all of their lesson expenses with one payment this way.

C4.1 If the Student Sent Payment before the End of the Contract
Some students are new and haven't done reading Student's Manual, therefore some of them might sent payment already before the lesson contract ends. By then, here's what to say to your student in a polite manner:
1. Inform students that it's fine if it's only their first time to experience EIGORU.2. Inform them that you will then make a new Lesson Sheet with a new starting and ending dates of contract.3. Inform them that they should NOT pay the lesson fee if:✱ it's NOT yet the end of the contract✱ you haven't sent the Step3-Request Mail4. Kindly remind them that they can pay the lesson fee once you send the Step3-Request Mail and that they must fill-up the Step3-Form.

C7. The Lesson Sheet Must be saved as 2003 Excel Version
You must save the sheets, LS and IS, as 2003 (.xls) excel files and NOT as 2007 (.xlsx) files. Numerous Japanese students have the 2003 (.xls) version of Excel. The 2003 version cannot read files saved in the most recent formats featured in the 2007 version and above.

The LS automatically calculates and displays the total lesson fees.4. Do not forget to double check each consumed lesson minutes per lesson date.5. The LS always calculates the total lesson minutes and total student’s lesson fee correctly as long as there are no broken formulas in the cells.
C9. Payment for the Tutor’s Additional Tasks
C9. Payment for the Tutor’s Additional Tasks
When you are asked by your students to do extra tasks (e.g. making special materials for that student only, heavy translation work, etc.), you can ask them to accept additional lesson minutes for the additional work before you begin the task. On this case, you can add the title of "additional work minutes for xxxxx" in the lesson sheet.For example, YY/MM/DD: additional work minutes for making materials: 25 minutes
In any case, you and the student must agree on the following;1. You must write the "additional work minutes for xxxxxx" on the lesson sheet2. Ask the student how many minutes you should write in the LS before starting the task.For example, Some students are preparing for exams (entrance exams, TOEFL, IELTS) and may need you to prepare special materials and or modify their existing materials with other explanations and/or rewording, etc. These are just some examples of situations where you can tell your student that preparing these materials requires payment for the extra time consumed.

H. Japanese Bulletin Board System (BBS)Dissatisfied students will not only post their complaints to EIGORU School but they will use popular blog sites to post their complaints, bad reviews and worst case scenario.
WARNINGS!!! Japanese are well known for being very proactive with internet blogging and they have many resources to use including Japan’s very famous BBS sites. This is Japanese Online Communities' Bulletin Board System (BBS). All the students from different Japanese Online English Schools are reporting their complaints to BBS. Once the angry student posts a bad report in BBS, almost all the Japanese students can read and be updated to it. Therefore, those readers will get a bad idea or bad image about EIGORU School which will affect ALL of us in EIGORU!
If you are careless in regards to your students, it will affect EIGORU more than you might believe. You could defame EIGORU and YOURSELF (they might also post your photos as an example).
I. Precise answers for the old and same reasons which are NOT acceptable. Almost all students who file complaints about EIGORU tutors file them for the same basic reasons described above like tardiness, absence without notice, schedule abuse, etc. Below are precise answers for typical excuses. ✱These excuses are not accepted by EIGORU neither by students.
1. The Spam folder in your email account is not dangerous on its own. It is a folder not a FILE so, please do not try to tell us that you are afraid of opening your Spam folder. We know technology and this is not a valid excuse. So you MUST OPEN and CHECK IT AS ALWAYS like your Inbox folder.
2. A tutor was not in her workplace would never be a valid excuse. We are very aware that almost all Filipinos/Filipinas carry mobile phones with them at all times. Moreover, expenses for your mobile phone credit/load balance are much cheaper than in Japan. Definitely, you can TEXT Ms. Nancy wherever and whenever you are.
✱Awareness on EIGORU Manual and prevention for any violation are better than to get deduction!
✱We thank you for understanding and observing our rules and policies.
J. Teachers who are NOT attentive to the student during the class.There's a Penalty Deduction of 100 PHP for the 3rd-time report about not focusing during the class or doing other things on the computer.
✱The teacher must professionally teach students online, be attentive to the student and never do other stuff during the class.✱Other stuff such as social media sites and applications include Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, blogs and other sites as well as other unnecessary activities which are irrelevant for the online class.
NOTE: If there are more than 3 reports regarding this matter, we will then stop all the teacher's classes, charge appropriate penalties (salary deduction from final invoice) and be dismissed from EIGORU.
On the other hand, it is rare to receive complaints from the students. However, even if these complaints are rare, they can still give a bad impression to other students and visitors and that might degrade EIGORU's good standing and that WILL absolutely affect all of the tutors at EIGORU.
