As a tuition matching agency, TutorAnywhr is tasked with matching students and tutors. Hence, we may use Tutor’s information as a form of advertisement on both our online and offline marketing collaterals (e.g. our Website and social media sites).

Tutor details that we will not reveal to the public include: email address, phone number, last name, bank details, postal code, and uploaded documents.
If tutors do not wish to participate in such marketing collaterals, they will have to inform us within reasonable means, such as SMS, WhatsApp or email our Company.
We need to collect the Tutee’s geographic information such as postal code or address, in order to source for suitable Tutors. We may advertise this information on our website, mobile application, or third-party websites. We will take measures not to reveal your full address but it is not guaranteed. If you wish for your address to remain hidden, please inform us and let us know the location to use as a placeholder (e.g. a location reasonably near to your residential area).
