Terms & Conditions
Welcome to Chase Tutor. By accessing our website or using our tutoring services, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.
1. Our Services
Chase Tutor provides personalised one-to-one online tutoring across a wide range of subjects and curricula. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate students’ academic needs and time zones, ensuring a convenient and effective learning experience.
2. Booking & Enrolment
Students or parents must provide accurate and up-to-date information during the enquiry and enrolment process. Tutoring schedules, lesson frequency, and the total number of monthly hours are agreed upon at the time of enrolment.
3. Free Trial Lesson
We offer a FREE 30-minute trial lesson to help students find the most suitable tutor.
If the trial tutor does not meet the student’s learning requirements or preferences, the student may request one additional FREE 30-minute trial lesson with a different tutor, subject to approval by Chase Tutor.
This policy ensures that every student has the opportunity to find the tutor who best suits their learning style before enrolling.
4. Tutor Allocation
Chase Tutor carefully matches students with tutors based on their academic needs. Students may request a different tutor, and we will do our best to accommodate the request whenever possible.
5. Lesson Rescheduling & Cancellation
If you need to reschedule a lesson, please notify us at least 3 hours before the scheduled session (24 hours’ notice is recommended). Rescheduling is subject to a valid reason. Missed lessons without prior notice may not be eligible for rescheduling.
6. Student & Parent Responsibilities
Students are expected to:
– Attend lessons on time.
– Participate actively and complete assigned work.
– Maintain respectful behaviour towards tutors and staff.
– Ensure they have a stable internet connection and a suitable learning environment.
Parents and guardians are expected to support students in maintaining a positive and productive learning environment.
7. Professional Communication & Confidentiality
To maintain a safe, professional, and transparent learning environment, all communication between students, parents, and tutors must take place only through Chase Tutor’s designated platforms. These platforms may be used for lesson communication, sharing study materials, assignments, and academic discussions.
Students, parents, and tutors must not:
– Share or request personal contact details, including phone numbers, email addresses, WhatsApp numbers, social media accounts, or any other personal communication channels.
– Arrange private tutoring sessions, payments, or financial agreements outside of Chase Tutor.
– Discuss or disclose tuition fees, payment information, invoices, or other financial matters with tutors. All payment-related enquiries must be directed to Chase Tutor’s Finance Department.
– Engage in discussions unrelated to learning, including personal matters, political or geopolitical topics, religious debates, or any inappropriate, offensive, or discriminatory content.
Parents or guardians are kindly requested not to interrupt or engage tutors in discussions during scheduled lesson time, as this time is dedicated to the student’s learning. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding your child’s progress, lessons, or any other matter, please contact a Chase Tutor representative. If further discussion with the tutor is required, Chase Tutor will arrange a Parent–Tutor Meeting (PTM) at a mutually convenient time.
Any breach of this policy may result in the suspension or termination of tutoring services at Chase Tutor’s discretion.
8. Learning Commitment
Chase Tutor is committed to delivering high-quality, personalised tutoring through experienced and qualified tutors. Student progress is a shared responsibility between the tutor, the student, and, where applicable, parents or guardians. As learning outcomes depend on factors such as attendance, effort, and independent study, specific grades or examination results cannot be guaranteed.
