Independent Contractor Application

Please complete the following form.

Tutors are hired as independent contractors with Intuitive Tutors. Intuitive Tutors and the tutor will work together to meet the requirements of the Tutoring Agreement between Intuitive Tutors, tutors, and clients.

Tutoring Agreement:
Intuitive Tutors agrees to tutor the student for the subjects listed below, and if needed with other subject matter that the tutor is comfortable with; and agreed to by the client, Intuitive Tutors, and the tutor. We will help with study skills, clarifying/teaching information pertaining to these subjects, and test preparation.

Intuitive Tutors agrees to keep an open line of communication with the client to discuss items that can enhance the tutoring sessions, as well as, if a particular time, place, or commitment is not working for the tutor or client. We encourage the client to keep an open line of communication with Intuitive Tutors in expressing expectations, and working together to ensure that the student is successful in completing and retaining their coursework (i.e. share grades, assessment results, major/minor life changes that might affect the client's ability to receive information, etc.)

We ask that clients complete ALL client surveys to ensure communication is current on all ends.

Intuitive Tutors will provide tutors either in-person or online, all of whom have undergone and passed a background check.

Cancellation Policy:

Client must cancel 24 hours prior to the start of a session, if not, the client will be charged for the full session. Cancellations must be confirmed through Intuitive Tutors and the individual/s responsible for session payments.

No-shows will be charged for the full amount of the scheduled session.

Repeated no-shows can and will result in the client being removed from the official schedule.

Tutors/Contractors
Tutors must cancel 24 hours prior to the start of a session, and must not cancel more than twice within a given school semester. Clients are only added to a tutors schedule, if/when the tutor agrees to take on a client for both subject matter and scheduling. If a particular schedule, tutor pairing, or another aspect of the sessions are no longer acceptable please communicate directly with Intuitive Tutors administration. Tutor must cancel directly with Intuitive Tutors.

Communication Policy:

Scheduling, billing, and all other business matters should be handled directly with Intuitive Tutors administration at 832-305-6273 or [email protected]; tutors are unable to assist with these matters. Clients should not seek educational advice on assessment of disabilities, educational advancements, or any other information from tutors, that is not specifically within the scope of assisting with homework, study skills, and test preparation. Intuitive Tutors is not responsible for comments made by tutors or clients when it does not pertain to the subject matter covered during the tutoring session.

Intuitive Tutors will only communicate with parents and clients 18 years old and up; unless we have explicit written permission on file from the parent of a particular student allowing us to communicate directly with a student or another individual on the parent's behalf.

All communications between Intuitive Tutors and students under the age of 18 will include the parent as well (i.e. a group message or cc'd).

Recording of online sessions
All sessions are recorded to ensure the safety of all participants. Recordings are not shared and are for internal use only. If students would like screenshots of the session for their notes, they can ask the tutor to take screenshots and Intuitive Tutors will email them to the parent and/or student. Recordings are not allowed to be paused or stopped at any time during the session.

Tutors/Contractors
Tutors should not attempt to communicate directly with clients, on scheduling, billing, or other business matters, outside of the specific session and the content covered during the session. Tutors should not give educational advice in alignment with our Communication Policy.

Dress/Appropriate Screen Policy:

All students, tutors, and any other person that appears on screen or during an in-person tutoring session should be dressed appropriately to ensure respect of all participants and a professional business environment. The viewpoint and/or background of in-person and online sessions must be professional as well; recordings of online sessions will be viewed periodically to ensure all participants are in accordance with this policy.

Homework Policy:

For online sessions students or parents should submit their school or tutoring homework 24 hours in advance to [email protected] and the subject or body of the email should have the student and tutor's names.

If materials are submitted less than 24 hours in advance of the tutoring session, Intuitive Tutors will do our best to ensure the tutor receives the material.

We encourage parents and/or students to email homework that was received from their school as soon as possible, even if it is less than 24 hours before the session, if the student would like to review the material with the tutor. We will always do our best to get the information to the tutor before the session starts.

Clients can text Intuitive Tutors at 832-305-6273 to inquire about materials submitted to our office.

Tutors/Contractors
Intuitive Tutors will email tutors completed homework assignments before sessions or upload them to the student's Teachworks profile with the date uploaded, when available. If the tutor would like to assign homework from a specific file, website, or other format, the information should be noted in the “Flagged Section” of the session report and the document or links emailed to [email protected]. If the tutor would like to assign homework, but does not have a particular document or website, please share the topic in the “Flagged Session” of the session report. Intuitive Tutors will find practice material for the student, and email a copy to both the client and tutor. All documents and screenshots should be sent to Intuitive Tutors and in the subject and/or body of the message please indicate which student the material is for.

Late Policy:

If a client is more than 15 minutes late, without having communicated with Intuitive Tutors, the session will be considered a no-show, and charged accordingly.

Tutors/Contractors
If Intuitive Tutors communicates technical difficulties or that a client is trying to sign in within 15 minutes of the start of the session, we expect that the tutor will wait for the client to sign in, and stay in communication with Intuitive Tutors administration.

Minor Policy:

All sessions with minors are required to take place with an adult that is 18 or older present and aware of the session taking place.

Notices:

Clients and tutors should give two weeks notice of all schedule changes, when applicable.

Intuitive Tutors reserves the right to make and alter schedules, the tutor pairing, and policies, as needed to best fit the client, tutor, and business needs.

Intuitive Tutors retains the ability to discontinue the relationship/agreement with any client or tutor, as needed.

Online Platform Policy:

Intuitive Tutors utilizes the Zoom platform for all online sessions. All parents, students, clients, and tutors should follow the Zoom use guidelines as well as Intuitive Tutors policies when using the platform. Any and all misuse of the platform will be taken seriously and will be addressed accordingly.

Teachworks is our online scheduling platform. All parents/clients have an online account which has a calendar of sessions, their students profile information, invoice and billing information, and where they can request sessions. Parents will receive reminder communications and reports for each session. Students are allowed to have a teachworks account, if the parents give written permission for Intuitive Tutors to contact the student via the Teachworks platform. The student will be able to see the calendar, request sessions, and receive session reports after each session. Tutors will use the platform to complete session reports, view student profiles, calendar events, and to update availability. Any and all misuse of the platform will be taken seriously and will be addressed accordingly.

Payment Policy:

The tutor can NOT and will NOT receive any form of payments on behalf of Intuitive Tutors. All billing and payment concerns must be handled with Intuitive Tutors directly.

All billing invoices and receipts will be emailed to the client's email address on file.

Clients will receive an invoice following the session, and payments are due upon receipt. The invoice payment should be paid no later than 24 hours upon receipt, as late payments are in violation of the Payment Policy.

If the client pays the invoice late this could result in cancellation of future sessions. Repeated occurrences of paying late, by more than 3 days, will result in payments being due 24 hours PRIOR to ALL scheduled sessions and/or cancellation of future sessions.
