Tutor Terms of Engagement
​
General
Once a tutoring position has been confirmed, you are entering into a contract between you (the tutor) and the client (the student, or the students parent/guardian). Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited acts as an agent on behalf of the tutor and the student. Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited is only responsible for finding students and an appropriate teacher for the specific subject and is not responsible for the content of lessons and the teaching methods.
The terms of contract entered into with the client shall be in the form provided unless otherwise agreed by Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited.
Private Arrangements
In consideration of providing you with students, you are not permitted to make private arrangements for tuition with clients introduced by Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited or with new clients introduced by your current or previous Cambridge Maths Tuition clients. Should you breach the obligation, you will be liable to account for all sums received by you from the client/new client without deduction and Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited shall be entitled to obtain an injunction against you to prevent further breaches. This obligation shall continue notwithstanding termination of the Agreement.
Any work referred to a tutor by a client of Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited must be billed through Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited on your behalf.
Profiles
Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited requests that your profile be up to date, this includes a photo. We ask that you check that your profile in Tutor Cruncher includes all the subjects (and levels) you would like to teach. If this is not up to date then you may not hear about available jobs or be able to register for them.
Environment
You and the client are responsible for finding and agreeing on a suitable environment in which tuition can take place.
Payment
Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited will agree the fee structure with the client and this must not be changed without written authority of Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited.
As part of the service, Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited will invoice the parents for your fee. Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited invoices clients on behalf of tutors, based on the lessons recorded in Tutor Cruncher. Your payments will be processed via Stripe, and paid to your bank account directly.
Please ensure that you check that the lessons confirmed in Tutor Cruncher correctly reflect the lessons undertaken each month prior to 1st of the following month. If there is incorrect information on them your payment may be delayed. Payments will only be made once the invoices have been paid by the client.
Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited recommends that tutors keep a signed record of all lessons taught (or cancelled with less than 24 hrs notice) and expenses agreed with the client (signed by client after each lesson). We do not need to see this but if a client disputes hours that are invoiced, we will be unlikely to be able to pay tutors if this record has not been signed.
You will not be paid directly by the client. Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited sends an invoice to the client, on behalf of and as an agent for you (the tutor), at the beginning of each calendar month to cover the previous month's tuition. Our payment terms are 14 days. You will not be entitled to receive your fee until Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited has received payment from the client. If Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited does not receive payment in reasonable time, tutors may obtain written permission for a Director of Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited to contact or to invoice the client directly.
You must not accept any payment direct from the client without the written permission of a Director of Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited. Should you do so, all sums received by you will be immediately payable to Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited and shall be actionable through the Courts without further notice to you.
You undertake to Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited that you will duly pay the tax and national insurance contribution which are due from you whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere in relation to the payments to be made to you by Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited under this Agreement and further agree to indemnify Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited in respect of all and any income tax and national insurance contributions which may be found due from on any payments made to you under this agreement together with any interest, penalties or other fees thereon.
It is understood that you are not VAT registered. You must inform us if this is not the case or if this changes.
Expenses
All expenses (books, travel, etc) must be agreed with the client before you add them to your account. If you buy books, please keep receipts so you can return them to the shop if the client does not want to buy them. Any expenses incurred by you without the agreement of the client will not be reimbursed to you.
Cancellation policy
Both the client and the tutor must notify the other in advance of any holiday commitments they may have and any changes to the tuition timetable necessary because of illness. An alternative date will be arranged. Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited has a 24-hour cancellation policy with the client so that Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited can charge them if they cancel the lesson at short notice. You need to have agreed this and the chargeable cancelled hours with the client before Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited will charge for them. The tutor must notify Cambridge Maths Tuition Limited as soon as possible and within 24 hours of the time of the original lesson in case of a late cancellation to claim the charges.
