A SIMPLIFIED OVERVIEW OF OUR TERMS

GENERAL

We merely provide a forum for tutors to advertise and be found, the tuition itself remains a domestic arrangement between the client and the tutor. All lessons subsequent to the initial one are arranged solely by the tutor and the pupil/parent. All tutors work on a self-employed basis; none are employed by Top Class Tuition. It is therefore the responsibility of the tutor and his/her client to make/provide/obtain any further criminal records checks desired/necessary.

We recommend that pupils under the age of 18 are supervised and state that they remain the full responsibility of the parent/carer in their home. Tutors are not able to obtain their own DBS checks (the new name for CRBs) for this sole purpose as tutoring is not listed as a regulated activity but is rather seen as a domestic arrangement. Many of our tutors do, however, hold DBS checks from other positions where these are obtainable. For your clarity, all tutor profiles tell you whether or not a criminal record check is held by the tutor.

Any lessons arranged, for children under the age of 18, outside of the home (i.e. in a public place such as a library) is at the full and sole discretion of the parent/carer.

Top Class Tuition is not responsible for any actions/arrangements carried out beyond the organisation of an initial meeting between the client and the tutor. All subsequent arrangements should be made solely between the tutor and the client. We will, however, be happy to offer our assistance to either party wherever we can.

Times and dates can be arranged between you and the tutor assigned to you. We are flexible and pretty pleased with the positive and at ease relationship we have with our pupils and their parents. As such, there are no charges for cancellations, providing they are made 24 hours before. The full price will be charged for no-shows, when no cancellation has been made, or if the cancellation is made on the day of the lesson.

The venue at which tutoring takes place is your choice. Most people prefer this to be at their home, but some rather it be carried out at a local public place, such as a library.

Any text books required can be obtained by the tutor. However, they should be reimbursed for the cost of these as this does not count as part of the fee.
