Policies listed below are for student user accounts. Pricing and billing information listed is for consumer accounts (accounts created by a student or parents that are not linked to a school district).
Hourly Billing
Hourly rates are charged to student accounts that are not part of a monthly plan (see below). Students are charged in 15-minute increments, after a minimum of 60 minutes. The hourly rate for tutoring and test prep is posted prior to scheduling each session and is available at www.tutapoint.com/pricing. The billing card on-file will be charged immediately after the tutoring session and a receipt will be emailed to the email address on-file. There is no monthly fee or service fee for students billed hourly.
Cancelling Confirmed and Pending Tutoring Sessions
A student may cancel a confirmed tutoring session up to 4 hours before the tutoring session is to begin without any penalty or charge. To cancel a previously scheduled tutoring session, log into your account and click on the Cancel button next to the listed session. Students are also advised to cancel pending (not yet confirmed) sessions 5 hours in advance if they wish to reschedule. If a pending session becomes confirmed within 45 minutes of its start time, it cannot be cancelled.
Missed Sessions
Students that fail to log-in for a confirmed tutoring session will be charged.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
The satisfaction of our students and parents is our priority. If you are not satisfied by an interaction you had with TutaPoint or one of our tutors, please contact us immediately and we will provide another tutoring session.
Scheduling Session
TutaPoint will make every effort to assign a qualified tutor to each session request. It is possible that certain requests will not be filled and TutaPoint cannot guarantee that requested sessions will be filled. To increase the likelihood that a request is filled, please try to schedule requests at least 24-hours in advance and do not select a specific tutor.
