Tutor’s Responsibilities

⦿ The Tutor should carry out the tutoring services in a professional manner with due skill, diligence and care.

⦿ The Tutor is responsible for the content of lessons. These are to be carried out with proper preparation in accordance with a particular course of study, and in accordance with the Client’s instructions and/or relevant exam syllabus.

⦿ Although Prepclass Tutors has some teaching resources and may be able to support Tutors by providing suitable materials, Tutors should be aware that they are responsible for providing all reasonable teaching materials.

⦿ Provided the Client gives clear prior consent in writing, the Tutor may obtain educational resources such as textbooks on behalf of the Client/Student. Prepclass Tutors must be informed of any such arrangement to obtain educational resources. Tutors are reminded that in accordance with section 6 of this agreement, they agree not to accept funds directly from the Client for any reason.

⦿ Tutors are responsible for keeping their logbook up to date. This is a standard record of all lessons taught, which is to be signed by the Client after each lesson. If you are late in submitting these time sheets (see section 6 for details) or there is incorrect information on them, your payment may be delayed. If a Client disputes hours and the Tutor does not have a signed time sheet for the hours in question, we will be unlikely to be able to pay the Tutor for those sessions.

⦿ The Tutor will write a lesson plan for the Student prior to their first lesson with the Student, and submit it to Prepclass Tutors prior to the first lesson so that it can be checked and approved. The Tutor will carry out an assessment on the first lesson. Within 24 hours of the first lesson the Tutor must write a detailed critical analysis of how the Student did on the assessment, particularly focusing on areas of strength and weakness and what should be worked on during the course of tuition and submit to Client and Prepclass Tutors.

⦿ If the Tutor ceases to work with Prepclass Tutors during a course of tuition, or ceases to work with a particular Student, either at their own behest or the behest of the Client, and the Student is continuing with their course of tuition from Prepclass Tutors, the Tutor will draft a final report. This report will describe the work that the Tutor has done with the Student, and the work that remains to be done. It will describe the Student’s areas of strength and areas of weakness. The aim of the report will be to enable a new Tutor to pick up where the old Tutor stopped.

⦿ Tutors are expected to be responsive when contacted by Prepclass Tutors. If you persistently fail to respond to communication from Prepclass Tutors (via email or telephone or both) then we reserve the right to remove you from our database.

⦿ We also reserve the right to remove you from our database for breaching this agreement in any way, including but not limited to breaching section 11 (truthfulness of information given to Prepclass Tutors). In addition we reserve the right to remove you from our database due to unreasonable, inappropriate or rude behaviour such that we feel we are unable to act as your agent.

Private Arrangements

⦿ In consideration of Prepclass Tutors providing you with Students, you are not permitted to make private arrangements for tuition with Clients introduced by Prepclass Tutors or with new Client introduced by Prepclass Tutors’ Clients. Should you breach this obligation, you will be liable to account to Prepclass Tutors for all sums received by you from the Client/new Client without deduction and Prepclass Tutors shall be entitled to obtain an injunction against you to prevent further breaches. This obligation shall continue notwithstanding termination or completion or other discharge of this Agreement.

⦿ Any work referred to a Tutor by a Client of Prepclass Tutors must be billed through Prepclass Tutors on your behalf. Prepclass Tutors is willing to negotiate on commission for new Clients referred to you by our Clients but Prepclass Tutors must process the billing and bookings must be through Prepclass Tutors.

⦿ The Tutor will not provide or agree to provide any services or carry out any work for the Client or the Student other than the Tuition, save with the prior consent of Prepclass Tutors.

Payment

⦿ Prepclass Tutors will agree the fee structure with the Client and this may not be changed by the Tutor or the Client without written authority of Prepclass Tutors.

⦿ Prepclass Tutors collects fees due from Students/Clients after a completed session (8, 12, 16, 20 as the case may be) and passes them on to you, net of a commission. Payments will only be made after payment has been received from the Client.

⦿ You will not be paid directly by the Client. You will not be entitled to receive your fee until Prepclass Tutors has received payment from the Client. If Prepclass Tutors does not receive payment in reasonable time, Tutors may obtain written permission from Prepclass Tutors to invoice the Client directly.

⦿ You must not accept any payment direct from the Client without written permission from Prepclass Tutors. Should you do so, all sums received by you will be immediately payable to Prepclass Tutors and shall be actionable through the Courts without further notice to you

⦿ Completed and signed logbook must be submitted to Prepclass Tutors monthly here https://bit.ly/2J0Nk IF, after your last tuition session or in any event by 4pm on the following day, for the lessons during that month (e.g. for a 3 times a week session, class dates should be submitted on the12th session for the month). If we receive correctly completed class date records on time, payment will be made to you promptly.

⦿ If you submit your class date late, you will not be paid until the next Payment Month.

Cancellation Policy

⦿ The Tutor will provide to the Client notice of any proposed holiday dates and request the same from the Client, in order to schedule lessons at a convenient time for both parties. The Tutor must notify Prepclass Tutors of the schedule agreed.

⦿ In the event of cancellation of a scheduled lesson, Prepclass Tutors must be informed and an alternative date will be agreed between Client and Tutor. The notification of Prepclass Tutors of the cancellation and alternative Session date will speed up administration and prevent delays to your payment.

⦿ Tutors should be aware that Clients must give notice of cancellation of any session more than five hours before the session is due to begin. If notice is given by that time, there is no charge to rearrange the session, and the Tutor is not paid for a session that has not been taught.

⦿ If notice is given within five hours of the start time of the session, there are two options. If the Tutor views the reason for cancellation as being unavoidable, and they choose not to charge for the session, then Prepclass Tutors will not charge the Client for the Session on behalf of the Tutor. If the Tutor does not deem the reason for cancellation to be unavoidable, or requires payment nonetheless, Prepclass Tutors will charge the Client for the Session on behalf of the Tutor and will pass on the Tutor’s fees net of commission as usual.

Liability

⦿ The Company shall have no liability to the Tutor for any loss, damage, expenses, payments or injury which the Tutor may incur arising from the security or state or condition of any premises in which the Tuition is provided or from any act or omission of the Client, the Student or any third party occurring on any such premises or otherwise during the course of or in connection with the provision of the Tuition.

⦿ The Company shall have no liability for any loss or damage arising directly or indirectly from any act or omission of the Tutor.
