I should inform Learning Smart about cancellation of lessons but do I need to inform about makeup lessons / additional lessons as well? Should lessons on public holidays / eve of PH be changed to an alternative date?

Will Learning Smart be taking commision for every lesson in addition to the one time agent fee for the first two lessons?

Yes, the parents will be quoted an additional $5-10 ON TOP of the amount we will be paying you as commission fee to learning smart.

Is it right to say that I can only teach the subjects that I am hired for?

That is the expectation. However, if you wish to teach more than the subjects you have registered for, you can discuss this further with us.

Are lessons conducted online or face to face?

This would depend on the parent/student’s preference.

What should I do if the parents are unreasonable, or if I am in any uncomfortable situation with the parents.

Please inform Learning Smart immediately for mediation.
