a “Pay Now” button. Just follow the instructions from
our email.
You may also make direct deposits to our Aa

New Forms
We have streamlined your monthly paperwork by
combining Form #001 (Monthly Record) and #003
(Student's Monthly Progress Report). This new form is
called #013, Monthly Record and Progress Report.
Now you will no longer need to fill out two separate
forms to record the amount the client paid and the
student's monthly progress.
For tutors with multiple students, Form #002
(Monthly Invoice) has been prepared as a Microsoft
Excel spreadsheet so you can report all your students
on one form.
When you accept your first new student, we will
email you the forms. If you would like them now,
please contact us and we will be happy to send them
to you.

First Session Policy
If an initial assessment is required then the tutor will
go to the client’s home and discuss their
expectations and goals. It’s up to the tutor to
provide an assessment of the students’ level. Tutors
will be paid one half hour of the total one hour
tutoring rate.
|
|
|
Cancellation Policy
If the client cancels with less than 24 hours' notice
they will be charged one half hour of the one hour
tutoring rate. If the teacher arrives at the client’s
home and finds out the lesson is cancelled then the
client must pay for one full hour of tutoring.
After accepting a new assignment please make sure
that you have the updated Client Enrolment Form
with the new policies.

Bookkeeping and Accounting
We must apologize for being behind with our
bookkeeping. We have run into a few glitches with
setting up Heather, our bookkeeper, with remote
access so that she can work from home. In July and
August we got caught up on March, April and May.
We expect to be totally on track by mid-September
or October, as long as no technical problems come up
again. Thank you for your patience.
