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.

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.

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.

A parent or other responsible adult should always be in the house during a tutoring session. Our tutors are not authorized to transport students.

There is no minimum or maximum number of sessions required.
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. 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.
