TutorsLink Policies

Transparency is at the heart of everything we do

💰 Refund Policy

We want every student to feel confident booking on TutorsLink. If you are not satisfied with a paid session, you are entitled to a full refund within 48 hours of the session taking place.

  • Refund requests must be submitted within 48 hours of the session end time.
  • To request a refund, reach us on Discord or Instagram with your booking reference.
  • Refunds are processed within 5–7 business days back to the original payment method.
  • Demo (free) sessions are excluded from this policy as no payment is taken.

📅 Cancellation Policy

We understand that schedules change. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair to both students and tutors.

  • 24-hour notice: Cancel at least 24 hours before a session with no penalty and a full refund.
  • Late cancellations: Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the session may incur a 50% charge to compensate the tutor for their reserved time.
  • No-shows: Failing to attend a booked session without notice will forfeit the full session fee.

📊 Commission Structure

We believe tutors should keep the majority of their earnings. Our commission model is designed to reward loyalty.

  • First month: TutorsLink retains a 40% commission on all session earnings.
  • From month 2 onwards: 0% commission — tutors keep 100% of every session fee.
  • Payouts are sent monthly, by the 5th of the following month.
  • Tutors can track earnings in their profile dashboard at any time.

🤝 Community Guidelines

TutorsLink is built on mutual respect. All users — students and tutors — are expected to uphold these community standards.

  • Treat everyone on the platform with respect and professionalism at all times.
  • Harassment, discrimination, or abusive language of any kind is strictly prohibited.
  • Tutors are expected to respond to student enquiries within 24 hours.
  • All sessions should be conducted in the spirit of genuine learning and education.
  • TutorsLink reserves the right to remove any user found to be violating these guidelines without prior notice.
