When you register, TutorAnywhr may collect information such as your name, age, gender, race, occupation and other personal information. This is due to client’s preferences. There is no violation of Article 12 of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore.
Users who wish to register with TutorAnywhr are required to provide accurate, valid, complete, and current information about themselves as prompted by the registration form(s) provided. You agree to update your information should there be any changes in order to keep your registered information actual, complete, true and accurate. If you provide information that are not accurate or updated, we may terminate your access to the website and our services. We are not responsible for any failure in providing the services, which result from information that is not true, accurate, current, and complete.
TutorAnywhr reserves the right to use your registration information for its intended purposes. For instance, posting a tutor’s profile in public to attract clients or sending it to prospective clients directly. Your personal information would not be public. Information such as your name, password, mobile number, etc. will not be made public. To understand more, please look at our privacy policy.
When you create an account, you are the sole authorised user of your account. You shall be liable for the preservation of the secrecy of your login password, and for all activities that transpire within your account. You are liable for any actions or omission of any user(s) that access your member’s profile information that, if undertaken by you, would be deemed as a breach of these Terms. It will be your responsibility to notify TutorAnywhr immediately for any unauthorised access, use of your account and password, or any other breach of security. If you ever find out or suspect that someone has assessed your account without authorisation, you are advised to inform us immediately. TutorAnywhr Agency shall not be held liable for any loss and damage arising from any failure to comply with this terms of use.
All currency references are in Singapore dollars (SGD). You shall be responsible for payment of all levies, duties or taxes that are imposed by taxing rules for any payment or fees you may collect through using our services.
Tuition rates listed on our website are merely guidelines. The exact price for tuition services may differ depending on client’s requirements, market conditions, availability of tutors, etc. The tutors can establish rates by themselves, but the final decision concerning price shall be accepted by confirmed agreement of both parties via an official confirmation message sent by TutorAnywhr Agency.
Clients shall pay the invoice issued and inform TutorAnywhr within three days of the due date. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the transaction receipt or any other materials are kept as proof of transaction made to TutorAnywhr Agency.
If the client or tutor has any outstanding amount owed to TutorAnywhr Agency, we will try our best to ask for payment via WhatsApp messaging. However, if payment is not made after 14 (fourteen) days, a letter of demand shall be sent by mail. The account may also be referred to the lawyers or legal collectors for further recovery actions if settlement is still delayed despite sending the letter of demand. The debtor shall be liable to pay all costs (including administrative, solicitor, and client costs incurred by TutorAnywhr Agency in demanding and enforcing payment of monies due on the client or tutor’s accounts).
Tuition rates that are agreed upon should not be changed unless the client and tutor mutually agree. TutorAnywhr Agency reserves the right to claim its commission based on the original agreed upon tuition rate. In most cases, we will collect the conducted tuition fees directly from the client (sometimes, payment is also collected from the tutor) and we will then resolve any payment issues owing to the tutor. Thus, for cancelled tuition arrangements, clients are required to deal directly with the agency. If clients decide to pay the tutor directly and bypass the agency, clients shall be made liable to TutorAnywhr Agency for any commission amount that we fail to collect from the tutor, in addition to any administrative fees incurred by the agency in collecting the fees.
Typically, the commission fees that are levied onto tutors are two active weeks of tuition lessons. An active week consists of seven consecutive days from the start of a lesson. Two active weeks of tuition lessons may not constitute 14 consecutive days from the start of a lesson if lessons are skipped in the second week. For example, the first lesson falls on the 1st of the month. However, client has decided to postponed the lesson on 8th. This means that the second lesson would be scheduled on the 15th instead. Therefore, the two active weeks would be 1st – 7th and 15th to 21st of the month.
Tutors shall not collect the agency commission from the client directly. If they do so, they shall inform the agency immediately. They will then make the full payment to TutorAnywhr Agency within 3 days. Tutors who fail to follow these instructions shall be liable to pay the full amount of payment in addition to any administrative fees incurred by the agency when collecting the payment from the tutor.
TutorAnywhr Agency reserves the right to change commission due to non-fulfilment of tutor’s obligations or other reasons. Clients are liable to pay tuition fees for all attended lessons, regardless of how satisfactory or unsatisfactory the lessons were.
Refunds may be made to the client’s bank account in case of violations of terms because of the tutor’s fault, or any other reasons. Clients can be additionally charged for improper or unfulfilled payment obligation. TutorAnywhr Agency warns about this with WhatsApp messages.
If there are any disputes or concerns regarding tuition fees between tutors and clients, we will provide assistance within our reasonable means to help tutors to claim fees from the clients, and vice versa. However, TutorAnywhr Agency shall not be legally responsible for any payment disputes between tutors and clients. Clients shall inform our agency and the tutor (if the client has the tutor’s contact) if a postponement or cancellation of any lesson is needed.
In the event of cancellation of service by parents or students, TutorAnywhr Agency will not be able to provide refund to parents, students or tutors for lessons that had been conducted. Tutors are hence advised to ensure that they maintain a good relationship with the tutee to prevent any pre-mature termination of lessons.
The client may request a replacement tutor or cancel at any time after the first lesson, but will still have to pay any attended lesson fees to TutorAnywhr Agency.
The tutoring period is usually clearly stated as we arrange the tuition assignment. Tuition assignment details will be released to the tutor at the agency‘s best knowledge. Tutor is responsible to find out about the exact details and requirements before accepting the assignment. The agency does not guarantee the exact term/length of the assignment. The Client reserves the right to terminate the tutor‘s services.
The agency regrets that no tuition fees will be payable to the tutor if the parents decides not to hire after the 1st lesson. While this rarely happens, the policy is set to ensure tutor has the competency to achieve good learning experience for the assigned student. Rest assured that with your experience and responsibility as a tutor, this kind of situation would not happen.
Once lesson has been arranged, at least one lesson must be completed. If the client decides to cancel after one or more lessons for any reason, only conducted lessons need to be paid for and TutorAnywhr Agency will refund any remaining fees that has been paid in advance if applicable. However, for cancellation before the first lesson has commenced, clients will be legally liable for administrative fees no less than the equivalent of the first lesson fees which must be paid by the due date specified in the invoice. Such fees would not be pro-rated to the tutors since no lesson has been conducted by the tutor. This would instead serve as administrative fees for TutorAnywhr Agency to make such arrangements.
If the tutor decides to cancel the lesson before the first lesson has commenced, tutors will be legally liable for administrative fees no less than the equivalent of the first lesson fees which must be paid by the due date specified in the invoice. For cancellation within the two weeks commission period, any outstanding fees for the lessons conducted by the tutor will be paid to TutorAnywhr Agency in full by the due date specified in the invoice. The fees would serve as administrative fees for TutorAnywhr Agency to make such arrangements.
The tuition schedule and the date and time of the first lesson shall be fixed and adhered to. Clients are allowed to renegotiate the schedule with tutors. In case of any change in the stated schedule for the first 2 lessons, the parent/student and tutor should notify each other at least 24 hours before the start of the next lesson, and inform TutorAnywhr Agency. However, any changes in frequency of lessons in the first 4 weeks of lessons must be made known to TutorAnywhr Agency. We may adjust the commission under such circumstances and we will notify the client and tutor accordingly. In other instances for lessons that are conducted twice a week, the commission will be for the first four lessons.
TutorAnywhr Agency expects all tutors and members to conduct themselves appropriately in a professional and ethical manner.
