Some parents might have lower tuition budget and thus, looking for tutors with lower tuition rate. By doing so, you increase the chance of securing more of such tuition assignments, as well as building up you experience as a tutor.

Tutors are to commit at least a minimum period of 1 month if there is no commitment period stated. However, some parents will request tutors to commit a couple of months till the student takes his final examination. For such cases, it will be mentioned in the SMS. Only tutors who can commit to such assignments within that period are advised to apply.

We expect our tutors to be responsible by adhering to the requested length of commitment. We will not hesitate to blacklist any tutors who do not keep their commitment.

Upon confirmation of tuition assignment, the tutor are not allowed to cancel it or fail to show up on the day of the first lesson. If such act is committed, tutor must compensate us a sum of $50 as administrative charges.

If the tutor initiate the termination of the tuition assignment due to acceptable reasons, he/she is required to give an advanced notice of at least 3 days before the next lesson to both BrightTutor and client. A certificate of proof would also be needed to verify the acceptable reason given. 

50% of the fees for all the lessons conducted will still need to be paid to BrightTutor as commission. Parents will pay the tuition fees for all the lessons conducted, directly to us. We will disburse the amount accordingly to the tutor within 7 days after payment from parents. 

However, if for unacceptable reasons or unethical behaviours, BrightTutor might not disburse any payments to the tutors.
