Accounts

 

You are responsible for providing truthful and accurate account information. Your management includes any updates to your account information. Your information allows us to contact you as needed to provide you with good services. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any error or miss-delivered transaction over your failure to update your information.

 

Parents/ Students:

 

You agree always to keep your username and password safe for your usage. In no way are you authorize to share your account (referring to a parent's child's/ student account) with another person (or their child/ another student who is not the registered owner of the account) to impersonate your child to benefit from a tutoring session.
​
You accept that the application you filled out pertains to only services for the child you registered with us. If you have other children, you must fill out a solo application for each one. There are no exceptions to registering an account with us. Siblings may not use each other's accounts. You understand that accounts registered to their respective users are condition upon their service from us. Registered accounts help us identify user needs and assistance best and stay compliant with applicable laws. For these reasons, only registered users may have access to their accounts.

 

Please keep your child's account for your child's use only. Do not share it with any one else (registered or not). Breaching this agreement will result in your child's termination from the program; allowing anyone else to pose and use your child's account places yourself at liability risk. Terminated accounts may not qualify for re-enrollment at a later date. You are responsible for sharing this fact with your child (student).

​

Tutors/ Volunteers:
​
We value your time and efforts to contribute to our cause. We also understand and respect that unforeseen happens can alter plans for you at any given time. Therefore, if for any reason, you can not be available for a tutoring session you agree to do. In that case, you must follow our standard protocol to cancel it. Information on scheduling and canceling bookings, is found in our Tutor/ Volunteer handbook of regulations. 

 

You agree that you have been granted a limited license to tutor/volunteer with us. You agree to uphold the integrity and ethical values of the services to which you have consented. You may not allow anyone else to use your account. Anyone else refers to family members, friends, colleagues, and third parties not registered with us. You understand that allowing others to pose as yourself to fulfill any tutor sessions with a student you are under contract to tutor is illegal and unethical. You understand that by compromising your account in this way, you risk all legal damages associated with your account.

 

You further acknowledge that your application agreement binds you to your contract and these terms and conditions including all terms set forth in the Tutor/Volunteers Handbook of Regulations for as long as you hold a position with us.

 

As a tutor or volunteer, you have sworn to uphold the virtues of education and are considered a role model with respect and honesty to the student you are tutoring. Therefore, by allowing an unregistered/registered user to pose as yourself, you have neglected and violated your agreement with us and place yourself at liability risk. 

​

If you are sick or can not tutor the day you have a sign-up, please refer to our Tutor/ Volunteer handbook of regulations on canceling existing appointments. 

 

All Users:

 

You acknowledge that your contract only allows you to use your account. You may not allow others to access your account. We are not responsible for compromised accounts, and in doing so, you risk any damages that may occur from it. Any user that allows another user (registered or not) to use their account will be terminated immediately and not be allowed to register for service or a position with us again.

 

Impersonation is a federal offense, and we do not tolerate it.

 

Having an account with us does not guarantee an indefinite relationship with us. As a user, you understand these terms & conditions. If we believe you have breached any part of these terms, we may terminate your account with or without notice. 

 

We reserved the rights to suspend, refuse service or reinstate or suspend any accounts at any given time.

Lesson Agreements

 

Tutoring Sessions

 

We make every effort to offer our best support and accessibility to all our students. 

​

You accept that all lesson hours are forward-moving. Every student is only allowed a maximum of three hours per week. Therefore, if your child cancels any bookings, they will lose the cancel hours. Lost hours will not be reimbursed.

 

Lessons are preferred to be one on one between tutors and students. However, we reserve the right to allow conference lessons from time to time when necessary to maximize support for all students. During tutoring sessions, a tutor may give a solo lesson or permit a group lesson of no more than three students altogether. Suppose you scheduled a solo lesson, and the available tutor has other students in the study sessions. In that case, you may cancel your appointment and reschedule for another day if it is on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. If you cancel your lesson on a Thursday, it may not be possible to rebook another class for the following weekdays since the weekend is approaching, and studies need to be scheduled 24 hours in advance. All hours are forward-moving, and you may lose the hour you have refused. 

​

The Glisteners Foundation does not offer weekend tutoring currently.
