Frequently asked questions

What should an online tutoring agreement include?
It should identify the tutor, client, and student; describe the subject and schedule; state the online platform and technical requirements; and include payment, cancellation, recording, privacy, confidentiality, termination, and dispute resolution terms.
Can online tutoring sessions be recorded?
Yes, but the agreement should clearly state whether recordings are allowed, who may record, what consent is required, how recordings may be used, and how long recordings may be retained or shared.
How should missed or cancelled sessions be handled?
The agreement should specify the required advance notice, whether late cancellations are charged, when makeup sessions are available, and whether prepaid fees are refundable or credited.
Does a tutor guarantee academic improvement?
Typically, no. A tutoring agreement should state that the tutor will provide professional educational support but cannot guarantee specific grades, test scores, admissions outcomes, or academic results.
