Tutoring contract template

A tutoring agreement clarifies scheduling, cancellation, and payment so both the tutor and the parent/student know what to expect.

Scope and subjects covered

Specify subject(s), goals (e.g. grade improvement, test score target), and session format.

Scheduling and cancellation policy

Require minimum cancellation notice and define a late-cancellation or no-show fee.

Session location/platform

State whether sessions are in-person, at a library, or via video call, and what's needed (whiteboard app, shared documents).

Progress reporting

Note how/whether you'll update the parent on progress (e.g. brief notes after each session).

Materials

Clarify who provides textbooks, practice tests, or worksheets.

Payment terms

Specify rate, billing cadence (per session vs package), and accepted payment methods.

This is general guidance, not legal advice. Consider having a local attorney review your final agreement.
