All materials used in lessons by TUTTEE teachers and subsequently distributed to students (worksheets, textbook copies, other documents, etc.) remain the intellectual property of TUTTEE Academy. TUTTEE students agree not to reproduce, distribute or share any lesson materials with other parties without the prior written consent of TUTTEE Academy.
TUTTEE teachers are only permitted to teach and provide educational service at TUTTEE Academy. TUTTEE students agree not to solicit or make private arrangements with teachers for tuition or contact teachers directly outside of lesson hours. All scheduling and payment related issues are handled by TUTTEE’s administration staff.
TUTTEE's employees are not allowed to give their phone numbers or email addresses to, or to meet with parents and students outside of TUTTEE premises. Teachers who have resigned are not permitted to contact or provide lessons to TUTTEE students within 10 months of resignation. If you would like to contact a teacher, please approach our front desk staff or email info@tuttee.co
To ensure that private lessons / private groups are conducted effectively, it is paramount that students and parents communicate clearly and early with our staff if there are any topics and specific areas that they would like to focus on. It is the student’s responsibility to provide such information upon enrolment or before the first lesson. TUTTEE does not bear any responsibility for a lesson not matching the student’s expectations if he or she fails to provide such information. If teachers are not informed which syllabus or materials to use, they will prepare lessons to strengthen core content using their own materials.
TUTTEE operates on a “first-come first-served” and confirmation-by-payment policy in allocating teaching schedules and reserves the right to release any reserved lessons that have only been verbally confirmed or that have passed the confirmation deadline. Full payment must be received prior to the indicated deadline. All lesson enquiries and bookings should be made through the front desk. Students should check emails regularly for announcements and notifications from TUTTEE.
Students are required to enroll in all lessons for the entire month or module, subject to the course type. We do not accept lesson-bylesson booking. Mid-course enrolment is allowed provided that the student enrolls in all the remaining lessons for the month or module. Our courses, regardless of the type (e.g. modules, private lessons), are designed to be continuous and we recommend that students attend at least one month of lessons or more for any individual subject for maximum benefit.
For same-month bookings, students must pay for all lessons no more than seven working day after the issue of monthly invoice and academic report.
For bookings in subsequent months, lessons must be confirmed within three working days or before our pre-assigned deadline (whichever occurs first). Students must pay for all lessons no more than three working days after the issue of the monthly invoice and academic report . For booking all types of lessons in subsequent months, regular timeslots will be reserved only if a student books at least three classes in the same month with the same teacher and timeslot. During boarding and peak holiday periods, regular timeslots may be adjusted based on course arrangement needs.
Lessons reserved with TUTTEE are non-transferable. Once a student’s name is confirmed at the time of booking, only that student may attend the booked lessons. Trading or switching lessons with friends or family members is not permitted. TUTTEE reserves the right to discontinue a student's enrolment at any time due to late payment or disruptive behaviour in class.
TUTTEE does not offer make-up classes or refunds for missed classes due to a student’s inability to attend for reasons such as school activities, field trips, schedule conflicts, or sickness (unless a doctor’s note is provided and the make-up lesson is rescheduled to an available timeslot within 7 calendar days of the corresponding lesson). Parents and students are responsible for checking their schedules carefully before scheduling. Otherwise, the lesson will be forfeited. And rescheduling must be confirmed with TUTTEE.
The time, date and teacher of the rescheduled lesson is assigned by TUTTEE (we will arrange an appropriate teacher of the same subject specialisation; we regret that rescheduling times will be limited and final).
Lesson scheduling is offered at the complete discretion of TUTTEE.
Rescheduled lessons must be confirmed on the same day of request made.
Assignments are an integral part of a student’s learning experience. Students are expected to complete all assignments, including assigned readings and homework. Parents are responsible for making sure the student completes all assignments at home. TUTTEE reserves the right to use students' work, without prior consent, for educational or promotional purposes.
Plagiarism is a serious breach of academic honesty and school rules. Students are expected to submit assignments and work that do not constitute plagiarism; students whose work is found to contain plagiarised material will face serious consequences. It is against TUTTEE’s mission and policy for students to plagiarise. Therefore, TUTTEE and TUTTEE’s teachers will not be held responsible for any cases of student plagiarism.
A progress report will be provided at the end of each term for students who attend four or more lessons.
All lessons at TUTTEE will be cancelled upon the hoisting of a Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal of 8 or above, or if the Black Rainstorm Warning is raised. Classes will resume two hours after the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal is reduced to a lower signal or if the Black Rainstorm Warning is cancelled or replaced by the Amber or Red Rainstorm Warning during our opening hours. No make-up classes or refunds will be granted due to weather or other acts of nature beyond our control.

TUTTEE shall not be liable for any loss, damages, charges or expense, whether direct or indirect, which may be incurred by parents and students arising from or in any way connected with TUTTEE Academy.
