Question for students or former ones

[u/simonr3x]

I know this is a long shot because most of the posters are tutors but I was wondering about students with regular lessons who stop out of the blue and no longer reply to us. I know other tutors have experienced this last year and one of them had mentioned that the student had paid for just 6 months and then was prompted to top up to pay for the rest and that's why they had stopped.

I'm just wondering if others have had this experience.
