Terms & Conditions

Tutomate is a home tutor network built on smart matching, currently operating in Kolkata, West Bengal. We use smart matching to pair requirements from parents and students with tutors we’ve verified, on subject, class, board, locality, timing, and budget. We facilitate the introduction — we are not a party to, and don’t control, the tuition arrangement that follows.

• To submit a requirement as a parent or student, you must be 18 or older, or a parent/guardian acting on behalf of a student.
• To Free Registration as a Tutor, you must be 18 or older and able to provide a valid government-issued ID and genuine qualification documents.

• Submitting a requirement is free, always — there is no subscription or fee for parents or students at any stage.
• The information you share is used to find you a genuine match, and shown to a tutor only once we’ve confirmed the fit.
• We do our best to find a suitable tutor quickly, but we can’t guarantee a match within any particular timeframe.
• The information you give us should be accurate — it’s what a tutor uses to decide whether to reach out.

• Registration is free, and there’s no cost until you’re matched with a student.
• You must provide accurate information, including a valid ID and genuine qualification certificates. Misrepresenting your identity or credentials is grounds for removal from our network.
• Verification confirms your identity and paperwork — it isn’t a guarantee of teaching quality, and parents should still use their own judgement when speaking with you.
• We take the first month's agreed fee once your match is confirmed — after that, everything you earn is yours, always.

Once we’ve made an introduction, the schedule, fee, mode, and everything else about the tuition is agreed directly between the tutor and the parent or student — Tutomate is not a party to that arrangement and isn’t responsible for how the tuition goes, disagreements between the two sides, or either party’s conduct after the introduction. If something does go wrong, tell us — we act on reports, including removing a tutor from our network where warranted.

You agree not to:

• Provide false, misleading, or someone else’s information when submitting a requirement or registering as a tutor.
• Use contact details you receive through us for anything other than the tutoring introduction itself — no unrelated solicitation or spam.
• Attempt to bypass our verification process, or help someone else do so.

Students who take on a tutor found through Tutomate unlock free foundation classes, mock tests, and study material from a partner institution, at no extra cost. This is a value-added perk, not a guaranteed or contracted product — we may change or discontinue it at our discretion, with reasonable notice where possible.

Tutomate is provided on an “as is” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from a tuition arrangement made through an introduction we facilitated, including disputes between a tutor and a parent or student.

You can stop using Tutomate at any time by simply not submitting further requirements or registrations. We may remove a tutor or decline to act on a requirement if these terms are violated.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any dispute relating to them will be subject to the courts of Kolkata, West Bengal.

We may update these terms as Tutomate grows. We’ll update the date at the top of this page when we do, and significant changes will be communicated where practical.
