Payment Terms:

At Edook, we cater to diverse tuition requirements, which means payment terms may vary depending on the type of tuition. Specific terms will be communicated to you when assigning a tutor or student. Below are the general payment guidelines:

  1. Offline Tuitions:

    • For offline tuition, Edook collects the first month’s fee directly from parents.
    • From the second month onwards, parents can pay the full fee directly to the respective tutor.
  2. Online Tuitions & Select Offline Tuitions:

    • For all online tuitions and certain offline tuitions, Edook collects the fee each month directly from parents and pays tutors from our end.
    • In such cases, parents are not required to pay any fees directly to the tutor. Specific cases will be discussed beforehand.
  3. Payment Schedule:

    • Payment is to be made in advance during the first week of each month, after 1-2 classes of that month.
    • This is the default term for both online and offline tuitions.
  4. Account Details:

    • Payment details for Edook’s account will be provided to parents once the tuition arrangement is finalized.
  5. Tutor Payments:

    • For tutors falling under Point 2, Edook ensures payment at the start/end of each month, as discussed while assigning the tuition.
  6. Mid-Month Start or Adjustments:

    • If tuition begins mid-month or on a random date, the start date can be considered the payment date. Adjustments may also be made to align with a monthly cycle (e.g., 1st to 1st of each month).

These terms ensure clarity and transparency for all parties involved. For any specific queries, feel free to connect with us.

 Refund Policy:

At Edook, we strive to provide a seamless and satisfactory tutoring experience for our clients. Our refund policy is designed to ensure fairness and transparency in situations where a tuition arrangement is canceled. Please review the following guidelines:
 
Cancellation in the First Month:
a. If a tuition arrangement is canceled within the first month and the cancellation is initiated by the client (parents) or for reasons beyond the control of the tutor, we will refund 50% of the paid tuition fee to the tutor, towards the done classes. 
 
b. In case the cancellation is due to a fault (Punctuality issue, Inappropriate teaching, using too much of an electronic gadget during teaching hours, Bad language, etc) from the tutor’s end, the partial refund will be issued to the tutor, depending on the severity of the situation. The parent will get a full refund of the classes due by the assigned tutor if any fault is from the tutor’s side.
 
Cancellation Beyond the First Month:
If a tuition arrangement is canceled beyond the first month due to reasons beyond the control of both the client and the tutor, no refund will be possible from the first month’s paid fee. 
In normal scenarios, no short-term cancellation happens in most cases. Both parties need to fulfill the responsibilities with utmost seriousness and as per the guidelines discussed before starting the tuition. 
Tutors can check the guidelines on our tutor registration page. 
 
Change in Tutor Assignment:
If Edook needs to change the assigned tutor due to unforeseen circumstances or tutor unavailability, we will make every effort to find a suitable replacement without additional charges to the parent. If a replacement is not available, a full refund of the paid tuition fee will be issued to the parent, after deducting the fee of completed sessions.
 
Disputes and Resolutions:
In the event of any disputes or conflicts between the client and the tutor, Edook will act as a mediator to help resolve the issue. Depending on the situation and the outcome of the mediation process, appropriate refund decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
 
Refund Process:
To request a refund, the tutor or client must notify Edook within a week. Refunds will be processed within 24-48 hours, subject to any applicable deductions or fees.
 
We recommend reviewing this refund policy thoroughly before engaging in any tutoring services with Edook. If you have any further questions or require assistance, please feel free to reach out to us on the official WhatsApp number of Edook.

 

Class Rescheduling and Leave Policy:

  1. Teacher’s Absence:

    • In cases where the teacher is unable to conduct a class due to health issues, vacations, or personal reasons, the missed class must be recovered later.
  2. Student Illness (Short-term):

    • If a student is ill for a few days, the postponed classes will be rescheduled by the teacher.
  3. Student Emergency (Dire Situations):

    • In emergencies such as death, accidents, or similar situations at the student’s home, missed classes will be rescheduled by the teacher.
  4. Strikes and Natural Calamities:

    • Missed classes due to strikes or natural calamities (e.g., heavy rains, earthquakes) will be rescheduled by the teacher.
  5. Student’s Vacation or Entertainment Absence:

    • Classes missed due to vacations, birthdays, marriages, or other entertainment purposes will not be rescheduled or recovered.
  6. On-the-Spot Cancellation:
    Any changes to the class schedule or notice of absenteeism, for any reason, must be communicated at least 1-2 hours prior to the scheduled class time. Failure to provide timely notice will result in the class being considered as conducted, and it will not be rescheduled or recovered.

    This policy ensures respect for everyone’s time and allows for smoother planning and communication.

  7. School-related Cancellations:

    • Classes missed due to school exams, projects will be recovered/rescheduled by the teacher. During exam days such adjustments are natural in all tuitions.
  8. Unnecessary Class Shuffling:

    • Classes cancelled or rescheduled unnecessarily by the student will not qualify for recovery.
  9. Religious Holidays:

    • Major religious holidays, which vary across different faiths, are considered paid leaves for teachers. These include widely celebrated festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Durga Puja, and New Year. No fee adjustments or compensation requests will be entertained for these days. However, this policy applies only to significant national and cultural festivals and not all regional or smaller celebrations.

This policy ensures fairness and clarity for both teachers and students, promoting a structured and professional tutoring experience.
