If a Customer wishes to engage a Tutor, they may submit a booking request via the Site and/or make arrangements directly with the Director via email or phone.
- Tutor Session Contract
When a Tutor accepts a booking by email, they accept and copy in
director@sensationaltutors.co.uk and a contract for a Tutor Session is formed between the Customer and Tutor (“Tutoring Contract”). Each Tutoring Contract will incorporate the provisions of both this clause and clause 9 of these Terms and any other terms agreed between the parties via the Site in respect of the Tutor Sessions (including but not limited to fees, dates, timings, location, duration, any minimum number of Tutor Sessions which must be booked, attendance, punctuality, subject matter to be covered, provision of materials, preparation for Tutor Sessions, homework assignments, parent/guardian involvement and any rules which apply on the premises where the Tutor Sessions will take place). Subject to compliance with the Tutoring Contract, Tutors must use their own teaching equipment and may provide their teaching services from such locations as are appropriate and agreed with the Customer and use their own initiative as to the way in which the tutoring services are delivered. Customers acknowledge that Tutors are responsible for managing their own schedules and we make no guarantees that Tutors will be available for a requested booking or not subsequently cancel a confirmed appointment. Please note that our role is limited to providing the Site and we are neither a party to any Tutoring Contract nor the employer of any Tutor. Customers and Tutors are responsible for satisfying themselves as to the terms of any Tutoring Contract offered or accepted and as to the suitability of any Tutor’s compatibility with any teaching requirements. We are simply an intermediary and have no control over and take no responsibility for the teaching provided by the Tutors on our Site. Users acknowledge and agree that they have no right to hold or attempt to hold us liable for a Customer’s or Tutor’s actions, inactions, errors, delays, failures or omissions. Tutor Sessions can be cancelled by either the Customer or Tutor by email or by phone at least 48 hours in advance of the session. You should also notify us by phone or by email to
director@sensationaltutors.co.uk. If less than 48 hours’ notice is given by the Customer, the Customer is still liable to pay any fees due to the Tutor for any session booked. If less than 48 hours’ notice is given by the Tutor, the Tutor will arrange a mutually agreeable time to rearrange the session, and if no time is suitable, refund any fees paid in advance for the cancelled session.
If you are a Tutor: To register as a Tutor you must provide us with your current Disclosure and Barring Service (“DBS”) certificate and any other information or documents we may reasonably request to verify you, your teaching credentials and eligibility. We may undertake appropriate background as Complete Background Screening (CBS), DBS and qualifications checks. The information you provide must be true, accurate, current and complete. If any of the information provided to us by Tutors is misleading, incomplete or inaccurate then we reserve the right to close the Tutor’s account and disable their profile on the Site with immediate effect and without liability. Before being able to register, Tutors will also be required to attend an interview and we may determine in our sole discretion whether the Tutor meets the requisite standards. Tutors shall ensure that their profile displays accurate details regarding the fees charged for Tutor Sessions (inclusive of any VAT charged). Tutors shall otherwise comply with the provisions set out in sections 17 and 18 of these Terms. Tutors shall use best endeavours to respond to emails from the Director in relation to Customers or potential customers within one (1) Business day, and shall provide Tutor Sessions with all due care and skill and in compliance with these Terms and all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and standards of best practice. Tutors should plan sessions in accordance with the needs of the individual students. All planning should be documented. Unless agreed otherwise, this should be sent to the parents after every session. The Director, upon occasion, will request these documents. The Tutor agrees to share these with the Director upon request within 48 hours. Tutors shall ensure that the Customer has paid no later than 48 hours before the first session in each month is due to start. If payment has not been made at least 48 hours in advance, the Tutor may contact the Customer by email to request payment and shall cc the Company in the email. Tutors will be fully responsible for paying any and all tax including any national insurance contributions arising from carrying out any Tutor Sessions. If the Company has to pay any such tax or national insurance contributions, the Tutor will reimburse us in full, any money that we have to pay, and any fine or other punishment imposed on us because the tax or national insurance contributions were not paid by the Tutor.
If you are a Customer To request and book a Tutor Session you must register as a Customer and pay any invoice sent to you for sessions on behalf of your Tutor for the month ahead and no later than 48 hours before the first session in each month is due to start. If payment has not been made at least 48 hours in advance, the Tutor’s or the Company may contact the Customer to request payment. The Tutors reserve the right to not attend if payment is not made accordingly. Whilst we interview Tutors and check that they have a current Disclosure and Barring Service certificate prior to accepting their application to register on this Site, we do not guarantee that a Tutor will meet your requirements or expectations. We only verify Tutors as far as we are reasonably able to by undertaking appropriate checks. If at any stage you have concerns about the competence, qualifications, suitability or performance of any Tutor please contact us immediately at director@sensationaltutors.co.uk and we will take reasonable steps to investigate. Where a Tutor Session takes place at the Tutor’s premises, the student must either be accompanied by the Customer or some other responsible adult nominated by the Customer, or the Customer must be contactable by the Tutor by mobile phone for the duration of each Tutor Session. Where a Tutor Session takes place at the Customer’s premises, the Customer or another responsible adult must be on the premises throughout the Tutor Session. The Customer must inform the Tutor before the student attends any Tutor Session of any medical or other condition affecting the student which might be or become relevant in relation to that Tutor Session. The Tutor will complete planning documents for the sessions. These will be shared with the Customer. The Customer agrees that these can also be shared with the Director, upon request.
- Fees and Payment
No fees are payable in order to register on the Platform as a Tutor or Customer. We provide an illustrative guide to the pricing of Tutor Sessions based on the Tutors’ training and experience in order to help Customers to match their requirements. However Tutors remain free to determine their hourly rate. This rate will be specified in the Tutor’s profile. Any reimbursement of expenses, including but not limited to travel expenses, hotel costs and subsistence incurred by the Tutor in the provision of a Tutor Session, must be agreed between the Tutor and Customer in advance and dealt with directly between the Tutor and Customer. In consideration for the provision of its Services, the Company charges the Tutors a commission equal to 25% of the total Fee (exclusive of 20% VAT) paid by the Customer for each Tutor Session arranged/booked via our Site or directly with the Company (“Commission”). Tutors will be notified of any changes to the Commission from time to time and any such changes shall only apply to future Tutor Sessions and shall not apply to any Tutor Sessions previously booked and paid for). You agree to provide us with accurate information we may request from time to time about the number, length and fees for Tutor Sessions provided. We may verify this information with Customers. We reserve the right to remove Tutors from the Site and notify Customers as to the reason why, should we be provided with false information by Tutors in relation to sessions. Further action may also be taken, as detailed below. Any payments to Tutors for Tutor Sessions (“Fee(s)”) must be made at the time of making the booking when an invoice will be sent by email to Customers by the Company on behalf of Tutors for 100% of the Fees for the sessions for the month ahead. Payment of the Fees must be made 48 hours in advance of the first Tutor Session of the month. If Tutor Sessions cancelled more than 48 hours in advance, this amount will be deducted from the following month’s invoice, or refunded as appropriate. An invoice will be issued to the Tutors for the Commission and any agreed expenses (plus 20% VAT) and the payment to the Company from the Tutors should be made within 24 hours of any payments made to the Tutors by the Customers. In the event that Fees are not paid on time, the Customer may be charged interest on the overdue sum at the rate of 4% per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until payment is made in full to the Tutor of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest due together with the overdue sum. In the event that a booked Tutor Session is cancelled by the Customer with less than 48 hours notice, or if the student fails to attend a Tutor Session, full payment for that Tutor Session shall still be due and paid. If the Customer is a consumer within the EU (meaning the parent/guardian of a student who receives services from a Tutor comprising one or more Tutor Sessions for the individual student’s personal use and for purposes wholly or mainly outside the purposes of any business), the Customer may for any reason cancel a booked Tutor Session during the 14 day period after it has been accepted and the Tutor will refund the payment(s) to the Customer within 14 days of receiving the notice of cancellation. However, if the booking includes any Tutor Session on a date which is before the end of that 14 day period (and the Customer has expressly requested the Tutor to provide any such Tutor Session in that 14 day period and the Tutor does so), the Customer may not cancel that requested Tutor Session and the Customer must pay for it in accordance with this section 9. If a Customer requests that a booking be cancelled in this way, they must confirm this clearly in writing (including via the messaging facility on the Site) any way convenient to You.
- Bypassing the Company
All communications between Customers and Tutors must take place via the Site, email or text message and all payments for Tutor Sessions must be made via bank transfer following receipt of an invoice or by cash payment. Users agree to immediately notify us of any offer or suggestion to circumvent the site in breach of this section. Where we suspect or have knowledge that a user has engaged or is engaging in such circumvention techniques, we may take such action as we deem appropriate, including but not limited to immediate account deactivation and/or account/profile deletion including all the information on it. Neither Customers nor Tutors shall, during their registration on the Site or for a period of 6 months after its termination or expiry, employ, contract the services of, or solicit or enter into any business transactions or agreements with any person who is or was engaged by or introduced to them via the Site with a view to or having entered into a Tutoring Contract.

All information you provide to us is stored on our servers and we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and management procedures to safeguard and secure the data we collect. Any payment
transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have
chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Site, you are responsible for
keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the
European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work
for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of
your enquiries, the processing of your payment details and/or the provision of support services. By
submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps
reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated as securely as it would be within the EEA and
under the GDPR. Such steps may include our entering into contracts with any third parties we engage
and the use of Commission-approved Model Contractual Clauses. In addition, we limit access to your
personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need
to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of
confidentiality. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally
required to do so. You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal data when it is transferred outside
Europe (including a copy of the standard data protection clauses which we have entered into with
recipients of your personal data) by contacting us as described in the “Contact” paragraph below.
We have extensive controls in place to maintain the security of our information and information
systems. Customer files are protected with safeguards according to the sensitivity of the relevant
information. Appropriate controls (such as restricted access) are placed on our computer systems.
Physical access to areas where personal data is gathered, processed or stored is limited to authorised
employees. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we
will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data
transmitted to the Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information,
we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We will only keep this information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the original legitimate
purpose for collecting the information and/or for as long as we have your permission to keep it and/or for
any periods of time which are prescribed by law or regulation. To determine the appropriate retention
period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the
potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which
we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and
the applicable legal requirements. YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will get your
express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third parties for marketing purposes.
You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by contacting us at the Company Address or at our
email address director@sensationaltutors.co.uk or by unsubscribing using the links contained in the
marketing emails. See also the “Opting out” paragraph above. You have the right to access information held about you and to ask for a copy of such information.
Please contact us for more details at the Company Address or at our email address at
director@sensationaltutors.co.uk. Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
● Withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. Please note,
however, that we may still be entitled to process your personal data if we have another
legitimate reason for doing so. E.g. we may need to retain personal data to comply with a legal
obligation.
● Request access to, or deletion or correction of, the information that we hold about you.
● Be informed of what data we hold and the purpose for processing the data, as a whole or in
parts.
● Be forgotten and, in some circumstances, have your data erased by ourselves and our affiliates
(although this is not an absolute right and there may be circumstances where you ask us to
erase your personal data but we are legally entitled to retain it).
● Correct or supplement any information we hold about you that is incorrect or incomplete.
● Restrict processing of the information we hold about you (for example, so that inaccuracies may
be corrected). Again, there may be circumstances where you ask us to restrict our processing of
your personal data but we are legally entitled to refuse that request.
● Object to the processing of your data.
● Obtain your data in a portable manner and reuse the information we hold about you.
● Challenge any data we use for the purposes of automated decision-making and profiling (in
certain circumstances). As above, there may be circumstances where you ask us to restrict our
processing of your personal data but we are legally entitled to refuse that request.
● Complain to a supervisory authority (e.g. the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”) in the
UK) if you think any of your rights have been infringed by us. We would, however, appreciate
the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the
first instance. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).
However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. You may revoke your consent for us to use your personal data as described in this privacy policy at any
time by emailing us at director@sensationaltutors.co.uk, and we will delete your data from our systems.
