Selling class packs

If you teach individually, selling one class at a time is a lot of admin for small money. Class packs let a student buy a block up front and book against the balance.

How it works

You create a course offering— the thing you teach — and price it at several block sizes. A student picks one and pays. Pedagio then creates a private group just for that student, named after them, and credits their class balance.

Everything a batch has — sessions, recordings, resources, chat — works the same way, but the group has one student in it.

One student, one group

The per-student group is created automatically on payment. You do not set it up, and you do not need one course offering per student — one offering serves everyone who buys it.

Step 1 — Create the course offering

1
Open Coursesfrom your admin sidebar and create an offering. The name appears in the student's group, so keep it specific: “Class 10 Maths” rather than “Tuition”.
2
Add a subject and description. Students see these before they buy, so this is where you say what a class actually covers.

Step 2 — Price the blocks

Price the single class first. It is the reference rate: Pedagio compares every larger block against it and shows the saving as a percentage, which is what makes the bigger pack the obvious choice.

Block	Example	Effective rate	Shown as
1 class	₹800	₹800	The base rate
5 classes	₹3,600	₹720	Save 10%
10 classes	₹6,400	₹640	Save 20%
25 classes	₹14,000	₹560	Save 30%

You do not have to offer all of them. Leave a block unpriced and it is not shown. Many tutors offer only 1 and 10 — a way to try, and the pack they actually want you to buy.

Two extra options

A demo price sells a single trial class, usually cheap or free. A full courseprice covers a fixed number of classes you set, or unlimited if you leave the count blank — useful for “until the exam” arrangements.

Step 3 — Decide who teaches

If you are the only teacher, you are assigned automatically and there is nothing to configure. With several teachers you have three choices:

Setting	What happens
Student chooses (mandatory)	They must pick a teacher before paying.
Student chooses (optional)	They may pick; if they skip, you assign afterwards.
No choice	You assign every student manually after purchase.

Letting students choose saves you the assignment step, but means a popular teacher can fill up. If your teachers have different availability, assigning manually is often calmer.

Step 4 — Classes get booked and used

Set your availability and students request slots against it from their side. You confirm the request and it becomes a session on the calendar.

A class is deducted when you mark attendance

Booking a slot does not use up a class. The balance drops when you mark the student present for that session. This is deliberate: a student who books and then cannot attend has not consumed a class, so nothing is lost by rescheduling.

It also means the count is only right if you mark attendance. If you skip it, students keep a balance they have already used. Unmarking someone returns the class to their balance, so a mistake is easy to undo.

Step 5 — Renewals

Pedagio watches the balance and emails automatically:

One class left — a nudge before they run out.
Balance used up — a prompt to buy another pack.

Students also see their remaining classes on their own batch page once they get low, so the renewal conversation happens before the last class rather than after it.

Packs or a batch?

	Class packs	Batch
Students per group	One	Many
Timing	Booked against your availability	Fixed weekly timetable
Payment	Per block of classes	One fee for the batch
Your time	Scales with each student	One class serves everyone
Best for	Exam coaching, music, remedial help	Regular coaching batches

These are not exclusive. A common arrangement is a regular batch plus packs sold to students who want extra 1-on-1 help before exams — see Running a batch.

Getting the pricing right

Work back from your hourly rate. Decide what an hour of your time is worth, make that the single-class price, then discount the blocks from it.
Keep the largest pack worth buying. A 25-class pack at 5% off is not worth the commitment; at 30% it is.
Do not discount so far that a full pack pays less than a batch seat. 1-on-1 costs you far more time per student.
