The terms used in this policy follow the definitions provided in the Heylama Terms of Service.
In case you do not accept this Tutor Policy in its entirety, you’re not authorized to offer tutoring services on the Heylama Platform. To publish your tutor profile, hold tutoring lessons and receive your earnings, you must accept this Tutor Policy in full.
This Tutor Policy serves as a guideline for Heylama Tutors and attempts to set the expectations for what constitutes ethical, open-minded, and professional behavior and communication. Heylama tutors and students come from all over the world, and we strive to ensure to build a learning environment that promotes tolerance towards all cultures and backgrounds.
If you decide to teach on Heylama, you hereby agree and acknowledge that you accept this tutor policy and that your relationship with Heylama is limited to being a registered user of the platform and an independent, third-party tutoring service provider and not an employee or partner of Heylama for any reason.
