1 How is the fee for tutors calculated by TutorZone?
TutorZone will charge an intermediary fee based on the tutor’s first two weeks of tuition or half of a month’s fees within the same month (whichever is higher).
2 How can I increase my chances of being selected?
Tutors should carefully assess whether the “Subject” options in the “Tutor Registration” section match their qualifications and include available teaching times and locations in the comments.
Please provide a detailed self-introduction, such as which subjects the tutor specializes in, teaching experience, etc., to assist the AI system in making an accurate match and assessment.
Maintain a good teaching record to avoid complaints from parents or termination of services.
3 When will I receive the contact information of parents/students?
The day before the lesson, TutorZone will notify both parties’ contact information via WhatsApp.
4 If a case is accepted via WhatsApp and then cancelled, is a fee required?
If a tutor has confirmed acceptance of a case but cancels before the lesson begins and before receiving the student’s contact information, they must pay the agreed-upon first lesson fee along with a HKD 200 administrative fee. If the tutor has confirmed acceptance of a case, received the student’s contact information, but cancels before the lesson starts, they must pay the agreed-upon first two lessons’ fees along with a HKD 200 administrative fee. The payment must be made within 72 hours.
5 Will the fee be refunded if the tutor is unsuitable?
If a tutor’s services are terminated after the first lesson, TutorZone will refund 10% of the tuition fee for the lesson as travel expenses. If the tutor’s services are terminated within the following two weeks, TutorZone will refund half of the tuition fees for the lessons attended. After service termination, the tutor must notify the organization’s staff via WhatsApp within 12 hours, or they will be required to pay the full administrative fee. If the service is terminated after two weeks, TutorZone will deduct the full administrative fee.
6 What are the requirements for selecting a tutor?
TutorZone requires tutors to provide a university degree or higher as proof of academic qualifications, along with relevant credentials. Art/skill/language/sports tutors must possess the appropriate qualifications (such as awards or certificates). Tutors must allow parents to verify their teaching background when necessary to ensure the quality of instruction.
7 How secure is the service provided by TutorZone?
TutorZone strictly adheres to the Hong Kong Privacy Ordinance to ensure the safety of both tutors’ and students’ personal information. No contact details or personal information will be disclosed without mutual consent.
8 How do I choose the right tutoring subject?
You can choose the appropriate cases based on the tutor’s most experienced and confident subjects, location, and availability, and provide public exam results for that subject for parents to verify (if needed).
9 What is the fee structure for the tutoring referral service?
The fee for the tutoring referral service is based on the tutor’s qualifications, teaching subjects, and lesson duration.
