GETTING STARTED

How do I register as a tutor?

• Click here and we will guide you through the process, step-by-step.

Upon registration, am I considered an employee of MyLearningFriend.com?

• No. MyLearningFriend.com provides only tuition matching services for tutors. Tutors are solely responsible to pay for all taxes on income earned, and handle all other responsibilities related to tutoring.

• However, as a tutor using our services, you will receive perks from us such as the "Teach More, Earn More" privilege, only available exclusively at MyLearningFriend.com.

• Tutors are also free to consult the MyLearningFriend.com Team for tutoring advice.

Why do I need to have my e-mail address verified?

• We need to assure that certain communications from MyLearningFriend.com, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the MyLearningFriend.com Newsletter will be able to reach a valid and existent user and designation.
• If you did not receive your verification mail, please check your bulk mail (junk mail) folder as the mail could have been automatically filtered. You may also login to your account with your username and password and request for the mail to be resent to your e-mail address.

What is the purpose of the Questionnaire during my tutor registration?

• The short questionnaire is to allow you to strengthen your tutor portfolio. Please be noted that the questionnaire can be made available to parents upon specific request to assist them in deciding on a more suitable tutor for the job.

• Therefore, we would advise you to take the questionnaire seriously and answer responsibly because tutors who have completed our questionnaire allows us the opportunity to understand you better, which in turn will increase your chances of getting positive feedbacks should our opinions be sought by the parents.

REGARDING PAYMENT

Do I need to pay for registration?

Do I need to pay MyLearningFriend.com once I have accepted the tuition offer?
