IT Trainer Registration

Here you can join First Tutors: I.T. and create an IT trainer profile. Before writing your profile, please consider:

  • Some trainers receive enquiries on the same day of joining us, whilst others wait before a client expresses an interest.
    Please sign up if you are available for at least three months of training.
  • Remember that your profile is the only thing clients will know about you, so emphasise your strong points and think about your audience and which information is relevant to them.
  • Check your spelling and grammar to ensure you create the right impression.
  • Give clients a sense of your personality when writing about your approach to training.
  • Avoid capitalised names and other such gimmickry, as this will be removed and means your profile will be taken offline for a period during this process.

  • 2 Our Services

  • 2.1 The Website and our Services are provided to help individuals and families access private tuition, and to help private tutors to offer their services to such individuals and families. The Website and our Services are not provided to education-related companies, agencies, schools and other organisations (together, Organisations). By registering, you are confirming that you are not an Organisation and that you will not use the Website or our Services to seek or provide education-related services on behalf of any Organisation. We do, however, welcome enquiries from Organisations wishing to work with us and any such enquiries should be directed to us using our contact details as set out on the Website.
  • 2.2 Our Services include the following (for full details of each Service, please see the Website):
  • (a) Our standard service whereby Tutors may register their details with us and Tutees may browse registered Tutors and request (and, where the Tutor accepts, obtain) a Tutor's contact information for the purpose of setting up a Tuition Arrangement (Standard Service).
  • (b) A streamlined version of our Standard Service whereby Tutees can purchase access to a Tutor's contact details at the outset, without the need to wait for the Tutor's acceptance (Quick-Buy Service).
  • (c) A subscription service for Tutors whereby they can access information about the tutoring market in their area (Market Information Service).
  • 2.3 Our Standard Service and our Quick-Buy Service are services for the provision of Tutors's contact details. The relevant Service is fulfilled once those contact details have been provided.

  • 3 Provisions that specifically apply to Tutors

  •   If you are a Tutor, the following provisions in this paragraph 3 apply to you. If you are not a Tutor, those provisions do not apply to you.
  • 3.1 You promise to us that you are at least eighteen years of age and can (and will on request) provide any references, CRB checks or proof of qualifications as claimed in your profile.
  • 3.2 You shall accept full responsibility for the prices quoted for your services on the Website and for collection of all fees due to you from any Tutee.
  • 3.3 In responding to feedback from Tutees posted on the Website, you shall not be personally abusive about a Tutee or anyone else.
  • 3.4 You acknowledge that Tutees are entitled to submit feedback in relation to you, your profile and your tuition services. Tutees can submit scores out of five and written comments. You cannot control whether or not scores submitted by Tutees will be published. You are, however, entitled to determine whether or not comments in relation to you should be publicly viewable. When a Tutee submits a comment via the Website, you will be sent a message showing the score and the comment. You must then approve or decline the comment within three weeks. If you decline it will not be made publicly viewable. If you do not take any action within such three weeks, where the score is three out of five or above, the comment will be published in full or, where the score is two out of five or less, the comment will not be published.
  • 3.5 You acknowledge that we retain the right to remove or edit feedback where we see appropriate in occasional cases. We do not intervene with Tutor/Tutee disputes in relation to feedback left on your profile but you have the option to reply to the feedback and also to contact us regarding any query you may have.
  • 3.6 You shall secure payment from your Tutees for services provided pursuant to a Tuition Arrangement directly and shall not seek to recover any payment in relation to your tuition services from us.
  • 3.7 You acknowledge that you are not an employee of ours or any of our affiliated companies and you accept full responsibility for all Income Tax, National Insurance and other taxation or employment-related responsibilities arising in connection with your involvement in any Tuition Arrangement.
  • 3.8 You acknowledge that your details may be provided to a Tutee via our Standard Service or our Quick-Buy Service, but that Tutees are under no commitment to undertake any Tuition Arrangement simply by virtue of them having obtained your details from us via those Services. If you only wish your contact details to be available via the Standard Service (i.e. in cases where you have accepted a request), you can switch off your availability for Quick-Buy Service customers through your account settings.
  • 3.9 You acknowledge that your Tutor profile and some details entered by you on the Website will be publicly visible and may appear in search engine results. If you do not want such information to appear in search engine results you should deselect the option in your account settings in which case we will use reasonable endeavours to try to avoid such information appearing in search engine results but in any case we are not responsible for search engine results provided by third parties.
  • 3.10 If you subscribe to our Market Information Service, the following provisions apply:
  • (a) Tutors can subscribe online by clicking the subscribe button in their member's area. Tutors will be charged for the Market Information Service via online payment, with a subscription payment for the chosen subscription period to be charged in advance from the date at which the subscription commences. The amount of the payment and the length of the subscription period will be clarified during the subscription process. If you wish to continue to receive the Market Information Service at the end of the subscription period, you will have to subscribe for additional subscription period(s).
  • (b) When you subscribe for the Market Information Service, a binding contract is formed between you and us on these Terms. The Services we provide under that contract include the making available of market information, in exchange for your payment to us of the subscription payments. That information is made available to you immediately after you subscribe for the Market Information Service and you acknowledge that, from that point, if you choose to cancel your subscription to the Market Information Service, you will not be entitled to a refund for the subscription payment you have paid in advance for the period following your cancellation, except in the circumstances described in paragraph 9.4.
  • (c) You agree not to publish or disclose to others the market information that we make available to you via the Market Information Service, except in confidence to your professional advisors or as may be required by law or by the decision of a court or other body with authority.
  • (d) You agree not to share your login details for the Market Information Service with others, or otherwise to enable others to access the Service via your account. If multiple people within your organisation would like to have access to the Market Information Service, you should arrange for a separate subscription for each of those people.
  • (e) Due to relevant technical constraints, your use of certain features of the Market Information Service may be subject to fair use restrictions. When using the search and graph functions of the Market Information Service, for best results, you should try to limit your requested search and graph parameters to the information you really need. If you try to use those functions to access a very broad set of information over a large geographical area, the information may not be made available due to fair use restrictions.
  • (f) If your access to the Standard Service is terminated, some of the features of the Market Information Service may not be fully available to you or may not function in the same way as they would whilst your access to the Standard Service continued. For example, searches and graphics for information about your pricing relevant to the pricing of other Tutors may not be fully available because, when your access to the Standard Service is terminated, your pricing information would no longer be listed.
  • (g) If we terminate your access to the Market Information Service due to your breach of these Terms, you shall not be entitled to a refund for any subscription fees paid by you in advance for the period following such termination.

  • 4 Provisions that specifically apply to Tutees

  •   If you are a Tutee or if, as a Tutor, you enjoy Tutee-level access, the following provisions in this paragraph 4 apply to you.
  • 4.1 Each time you opt to purchase a Tutor's contact details (whether through the Standard service or through the Quick-Buy Service), a binding contract is formed between you and us on these Terms. The Services we provide under that contract include the gathering of information about the Tutor in accordance with paragraph 4.2 and the provision of the Tutor's contact details, in exchange for your payment to us. We begin providing our Services immediately after you opt to purchase and you acknowledge that, from that point, you shall not be able to cancel your purchase and request a refund, except in the circumstances described in paragraph 4.4.
  • 4.2 Before we provide a Tutor's contact details to you, we will have collected certain basic information submitted by the Tutor in relation to their identity, experience, training, authorisations and/or qualifications (Credentials). Whilst we may request that Tutors make available full details of their Credentials, due to the number of Tutors using our Services, it is not reasonably practicable for us to check each Tutor's Credentials on your behalf, and we cannot do so. For this reason, we cannot guarantee that the information submitted by the Tutor is accurate and we shall not be responsible for any failure of the Tutor to provide to you satisfactory evidence to support the statements on the Tutor's profile as to the Tutor's Credentials. You should always check carefully all relevant information and documents in relation to a Tutor before you choose to enter into a Tuition Arrangement with the Tutor and you should verify the Tutor's Credentials (e.g. by checking identification) yourself before entering into any Tuition Arrangement.
  • 4.3 Before we supply a Tutor's contact details to you, you may be required to submit and confirm information in relation to yourself, your tuition requirements and the terms on which you would be prepared to engage a Tutor to provide tuition services. You agree to supply such information and consent to it being shared with potential Tutors.
  • 4.4 In the extremely unlikely event that none of the contact details we provide to you in relation to a Tutor were accurate and up to date at the time we provided them to you, you shall be entitled to a refund of the fees paid by you to access that Tutor's contact details. If you think you are entitled to a refund, please contact us with full details of the reason for the refund request. You will first need to alert us to this by giving Feedback via our feedback process to the Tutor so that your claim can be verified. You must submit your refund claim within a reasonable period of time following purchase.
  • 4.5 Where you have used the Standard Service to purchase a Tutor's contact details, in the event that the Tutor is not then available in the manner that was suggested by the Tutor via the Website and the Service when you purchased the Tutor's contact details, you should contact us to inform us and should submit feedback on the Tutor explaining the problem. Provided that you have done so, and without prejudice to paragraph 8.7, we shall then, at no additional cost to you, use our reasonable efforts to try to help you to source an alternative Tutor to provide equivalent tuition services.
  • 4.6 You hereby confirm that you are not less than eighteen years of age. Any person seeking to use the Website or our Services who is less than eighteen years of age must arrange for a parent or guardian to register with us on their behalf and that parent or guardian shall be the Tutee for the purposes of these Terms.
