I - Preamble
The contact details of the teachers are never sent to the students except in the case where the teacher accepts the lesson requests and indicates that they want to send their contact details to the student to organise the first lesson.
All the pages of the site are secured by the HTTPS protocol and the navigation between the pages is encrypted.
No bank card data is ever kept by Superprof, apart from the last 4 digits.
Superprof does not sell or rent any information or data about its members.
After consulting the listings, students can get in touch with tutors they have selected.
They then send a lesson request containing a message to all tutors who seem to match their request. These messages must not contain any means of contacting the student other than through the Superprof site, i.e. neither a telephone number, nor a URL, nor an email or postal address.
Connecting with one of the selected teachers will cost the student $69/month (Student Pass) and its costs will give them the possibility of contacting as many teachers as they wishes during their subscription. The subscription renews automatically and without obligation.
The student can cancel their $69/month subscription at any time from their account.
If several of the teachers selected are available, the student will only pay the price of the $69 Student Pass and can thus choose the teacher they prefer.
The student can only be reimbursed in the event of the teacher's unavailability. Depending on the case, proof may be requested in order to proceed with the reimbursement. We would like to point out that if the request for reimbursement in the event of the teacher's unavailability is accepted, the deactivation of the Student Pass remains the responsibility of the member, who is invited to follow the termination procedure to cancel the renewal of the service fees.
If the lesson request is initially accepted and then declined for ethical and legally sanctioned reasons (such as the explicit request to substitute the student during an exam or complete writing of assignments), Superprof will not respond favorably upon request for reimbursement.
As a tutor on Superprof :
You acknowledge that it is not authorised to engage in any activity which constitutes or facilitates cheating or plagiarism by a student.
As a student on Superprof :
You acknowledge that it is not authorised to enquire about the engagement of or to engage tutors to complete assignments, write papers, take quizzes or otherwise do work on your behalf. In addition, you agree not to use Superprof for any reason that violates the academic honesty policy or other conduct policies of your school, university, academic institution, or workplace.
All new tutors to the platform are required to offer students a free first session, which will be communicated explicitly in their ad ("1st lesson free"). Failure to respect this policy may lead to your ad being temporarily suspended or removed indefinitely from the platform. The duration of this free session will be set at 1 hour by default but can be modified. The session must be at least 30 minutes and the specifics of what is included in the free session should be laid out clearly to students before booking the class. Only tutors who have reached at least Super Tutor status can opt out of this policy. This requires at least 4 recommendations and 1 review, an uploaded diploma/qualification, and a response time of fewer than 24 hours.
