1   Following registration Thistletrain shall inform you, in confidence, of the details of the person (client) seeking tuition.  At this time you must inform Thistletrain if you wish to accept or refuse the tuition.

2   If you accept the tuition you must immediately contact the client and arrange a time for weekly tuition consisting of hourly sessions. 

NOTE: Thistletrain offers home tuition to our clients – We do not arrange tuition in the tutor’s home.

When you accept the tuition from Thistletrain, we shall immediately inform the client, in writing, of your name and telephone number, the subject and level you will tutor, and details of the hourly fee.

3   Thistletrain has advised the client, that the tutor will not - under any circumstances - teach a student without a parent, guardian, relative or friend being present.  Tuition can only occur in a communal living area (i.e. Kitchen Dinning Room etc). Any tutor who does not adhere to this will be removed from our register

4   Payment:
The client will pay you directly at the end of each session of tuition.  The amount you will be paid depends on the type and level of tuition.  When you are offered the tuition you will be told the rate of pay.

Note (a)   the tuition can be terminated at any time by the client, and in such cases no further monies will be paid to you, nor will you give a rebate of any monies paid. 
Note (b)   there will also be no payment due for cancelled tuition sessions, no matter how little notice is given.  However, clients are informed that the tutor, with the full consent of Thistletrain, will terminate frequently cancelled tuition sessions.

5 Administration:
An administration charge, for the initial organisation and ongoing management of the tuition is payable by you to Thistletrain. When you are offered the tuition you will be told the administration charge. We shall invoice you for this no later than 4 weeks from the date of referral of the client.

6 Employment status:
Tutors are classified as self-employed and are therefore responsible for their personal earnings in relation to HM Inspector of Taxes, Department of Social Security and HM Customs and Excise where appropriate. 
You are advised to consult a suitably qualified adviser if you have any queries regarding this matter.  Please note your personal affairs are NOT the responsibility of this agency.
