Terms and Conditions

The rules and responsibilities for using Tuition Lanka.

Last updated: April 23, 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the TuitionLanka platform, available at www.tuitionlanka.com ("Platform"). TuitionLanka is operated by SOFTVIL TECHNOLOGIES (PVT) LTD (Registration No: PV102511).

1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the TuitionLanka platform, available at www.tuitionlanka.com ("Platform"). TuitionLanka is operated by SOFTVIL TECHNOLOGIES (PVT) LTD (Registration No: PV102511).

By registering on, accessing, or using the Platform in any capacity whether as a tutor, a parent, or a visitor you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.

2. Nature of the Platform

TuitionLanka is a tutor matching platform. Our role is limited to:

  • Accepting tutor registrations and verifying their qualifications through a manual review process
  • Accepting tutor requests from parents and matching them with suitable verified tutors
  • Facilitating the initial connection between parents and tutors

TuitionLanka is not a tutoring agency and does not employ tutors. We do not supervise, direct, or control the tutoring sessions that take place between tutors and students. Once contact details are shared following a confirmed match, TuitionLanka's role in that engagement ends, except as described in these Terms.

3. Eligibility

To use the Platform, you must meet the following requirements:

All Users

  • You must be at least 18 years of age
  • You must provide accurate and truthful information when using the Platform
  • You must not use the Platform for any unlawful or unauthorised purpose

Tutors

  • You must be at least 18 years of age
  • You must hold valid qualifications or credentials relevant to the subjects and grades you wish to teach
  • You must submit supporting documentation for verification as required by TuitionLanka

Parents / Guardians

  • You must be the parent or legal guardian of the student for whom you are requesting a tutor
  • You must ensure that the information you provide about your tutoring requirements is accurate

4. Tutor Registration and Verification

Tutors register on the Platform by completing the registration form and submitting supporting verification documents. By registering, tutors agree to the following:

  • All information provided, including personal details, qualifications, experience, fees, and profile content, is accurate, current, and not misleading
  • Submitted verification documents are genuine and belong to the registering tutor
  • Tutors will promptly update their profile if any information changes

TuitionLanka will review submitted documents manually. A tutor will be designated as a Verified Tutor upon successful completion of this review. TuitionLanka reserves the right to reject any registration, remove verification status, or suspend an account if submitted information is found to be false, misleading, or in violation of these Terms.

Registration on the Platform is free of charge for tutors.

5. Tutor Profiles and Session Fees

Tutors are responsible for setting and advertising their own per session fees on their profile. By listing a fee on the Platform, tutors confirm that:

  • The fee is accurate and reflects what they charge for a tutoring session
  • They understand that the first session fee will be collected by TuitionLanka and not paid directly to them, as described in Section 7
  • From the second session onwards, all fees are settled directly between the tutor and the parent

TuitionLanka is not responsible for any disputes arising from fee arrangements made directly between tutors and parents from the second session onwards.

6. Parent Tutor Requests

Parents may submit a tutor request by completing the request form on the Platform. Upon submission, TuitionLanka will review the request and suggest a list of matching verified tutors based on the parent's stated preferences, including subject, grade, medium, location, class type, and fee range.

The parent will then select one tutor from the suggested options. The match is confirmed upon receipt of the first session payment as described in Section 7.

7. Payment Terms

7.1 First Session Payment

Upon selecting a tutor, the parent is required to pay the first session fee of that tutor to TuitionLanka via bank transfer, prior to receiving the tutor's contact details. This payment represents the tutor's advertised per session fee for the first session and is retained by TuitionLanka as our service fee.

The tutor's contact details will be shared with the parent only after TuitionLanka confirms receipt of the payment.

7.2 Non Refundable Policy

All first session payments made to TuitionLanka are strictly non refundable. By making a payment, parents acknowledge and accept this policy.

7.3 Tutor Replacement

If, after completing the first session, the parent is not satisfied with the assigned tutor, they may request a replacement. In such cases, TuitionLanka will suggest a new set of matching tutors. The parent may then select a new tutor and the full process including a new first session payment will begin from the start.

No credit, carry forward, or waiver of the first session payment will apply from a previous selection.

7.4 From the Second Session Onwards

TuitionLanka is not involved in any fee arrangements from the second session onwards. All payments, scheduling, and agreements between the tutor and parent from that point are the sole responsibility of the respective parties.

8. Tutor Conduct and Responsibilities

  • Not misrepresent your qualifications, experience, or identity to parents or students
