By accessing and using Tutora ("the Platform"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service.
These terms apply to all users of the Platform, including students, tutors, and visitors.
2. Platform Description
Tutora is an online platform that connects students with university tutors for personalized learning experiences. We facilitate connections but do not directly provide tutoring services.
- We provide a marketplace for tutoring services
- We verify tutor credentials and student identities
- We may facilitate secure payments and communications
- We provide customer support and attempt dispute resolution
3. User Accounts and Registration

Tutor Requirements
- Must provide valid student ID or degree verification when requested
- Must pass our background check and interview process
4. Payment Terms
Monthly Payment Terms
- Payment for each month is due after the scheduled number of classes (typically 10–12) are completed.
- No advance payment is required; payment is due after classes are completed.
- Disputed payments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
- Tutora is a medium for connection and cannot compel payment. Tutors are ultimately responsible for collecting payment, but Tutora will attempt to contact the guardian in case of non-payment.
- Payment for demo classes is governed by the Demo Class Policy.
5. Demo Class Policy
General Policy
- Demo classes are not free of charge and must be paid at the same rate as the monthly contract.
- A maximum of 2 demo classes may be taken. After that, a contract must be established for further classes.
Unsatisfactory Demo Class
- If the tutor's performance is so poor that payment is clearly unjustified, the guardian must provide detailed reasons.
- If the tutor is found to be unacceptably poor, they may lose their opportunity to tutor on the platform.
- If a student or guardian refuses to pay for a demo class and cannot provide a valid, detailed reason, their account may be revoked from the platform.
Unsatisfactory but Payable Demo Class
- If the tutor's performance is not ideal but meets a basic standard, payment for the demo class is still required.
- Guardians are expected to pay for the skill level they select. Unjustified or random complaints to avoid payment may result in account termination.
Contract Initiation
- After demo classes, a contract must be established for further classes.
