Private Tutoring Agreement

The Private Tutoring Agreement is used by private teachers to outline the relationship between them and their client. This document is used when someone, called a private tutor, will provide extra lessons or tutorials to the student. Some people need tutorials for different subjects or topics.

For example, a law undergraduate might need extra lessons outside their regular school hours to prepare for tests or exams. Other times, a person might not be a student at any institution but require tutorials to gain skills in a desired subject. For example, a person can hire a tutor to teach them English or French to gain language proficiency.

Note that the document will be signed by the parent/guardian of the student if the student is a minor (someone below the age of 18). However, if the student receiving the tutorial is 18 years and above, they can sign this agreement. This is because some private lessons are designed for primary and secondary students who have not attained the age of 18.

Under this agreement, the student will receive lessons on their desired course or subjects, and the tutor is highly-skilled in the course or topic they are hired to teach. This agreement requires specific information, such as a detailed description of services the tutor will be providing and the tutor's fees, as well as the inclusion of general provisions such as intellectual property ownership, dispute resolution mechanism, and other miscellaneous provisions.
