tutors privately, but to make all arrangements for a tutor's
services through Tutoring Match.
Tutor Fees, Fee Policy
& Rates
Hourly rates for In-home tutoring are set by the tutors and can
be viewed by clicking on Find the
Tutor. Most tutors offer a range of rates, discounts or package
deals. All tutors have agreed to keep their private fees equal to
the fees they offer through Tutoring Match. Each tutor will assess
a student request and respond with a bid.
Payment
Procedures & Methods
In-home tutorial services are invoiced, charged and emailed on a
monthly basis at the end of each calendar month to the credit card
on file or with a personal check. PayPal will be coming soon.
While all tutors set their fees, Premium (free members) do not
collect any service fees directly. All their payments go through
Tutoring Match. Please do not offer to pay them directly unless
they are
+Plus & Professional Member tutors (in-home and online) have
the option of using Tutoring Match's Payment & Billing Services
or not. They may choose to have you pay them directly. Their
profile will have a yellow background and indicate their payment
preference.
Any billing questions should be referred to Maribel Galindo,
bookkeeper and bursar.
No-Risk First Session
If the student, parent or the tutor
decides after the first session that the tutorial is not a good
match, we do not charge for that first session; otherwise, a charge
applies.
Cancellation Policy
To cancel a tutorial session, you need
to notify the tutor at least 24 hours in advance; otherwise, you
will be charged the tutoring fee for that session.
Tutor
Agreements
Tutoring Match's tutors are
independent contractors who have entered into a contractual
relationship with Tutoring Match.
Our tutors comply with the National Tutor's Code of
Ethics, Tutoring Match's Non-Compete
Agreement, Confidentiality Statement and Fee
Policy.
Recommendations & Referrals
If you would like to recommend or
refer your Tutoring Match tutor to another student, parent, friend
or organization, you agree to put them directly in contact with
Tutoring Match rather than with your Tutoring Match tutor. Tutoring
Match will then make the tutoring arrangements with the other
party.
Our tutors have agreed not to solicit
or tutor students referred to them, directly or indirectly, by a
student (or his/her parents, school, teacher, psychologist, etc.)
if that student is presently or has been previously tutored through
Tutoring Match unless the referral is processed through Tutoring
Match.
Responsibility
A parent or other responsible adult
should always be in the house during a tutoring session. Our tutors
are not authorized to transport students.
Termination of
Service
Each of us may terminate this
agreement at any time upon prior notice to the other party;
however, in either case, you are responsible for any balance due,
which Tutoring Match will charge to your credit card if such
balance is not paid by check at the time of termination. Likewise,
any credit balance due to you will be sent to you by check or
credited to your card. Late payments will result in a 5% additional
charge.
