In Minnesota, a Contract or Agreement with a Tutor is a legally binding document that outlines the terms and conditions agreed upon by the tutor and the student or their parent/guardian. It serves as a written record of the responsibilities and expectations of both parties involved in the tutoring relationship. Here are some important points to consider when drafting a Minnesota Contract or Agreement with a Tutor: 1. Parties: Clearly state the names and contact information of both the tutor and the student (or their parent/guardian if the student is a minor). 2. Scope of Tutoring Services: Define the subject(s) or skill(s) to be taught by the tutor. For instance, if a tutor specializes in math, specify whether they will provide assistance in general math, algebra, geometry, calculus, or any other specific areas. 3. Frequency and Duration of Sessions: Specify the number of tutoring sessions per week or month, along with the duration of each session (e.g., one hour). Also, mention the preferred days and times for tutoring. 4. Location: State where the tutoring sessions will take place. It could be at the student's home, a library, or any other mutually agreed-upon location. 5. Fees and Payment Schedule: Clearly outline the financial arrangements between the tutor and student/parent. Mention the hourly rate, total fees for a specific period (e.g., one month), and how payments should be made (e.g., cash, check, online transfer). Additionally, include the due date for the payment. 6. Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy: Specify the notice period required for canceling or rescheduling a tutoring session. Determine whether the tutor is entitled to compensation if proper notice is not given. 7. Commitment Period: If there is an expected duration for the tutoring relationship, mention it in this section. For example, the parties could agree to a contract covering one semester, a school year, or a specific number of sessions. 8. Material and Resources: Clarify the responsibility of providing study materials, textbooks, or other necessary resources. Specify who will bear the cost of such materials. 9. Confidentiality: If the student will be working on sensitive or personal information with the tutor, include a confidentiality clause to ensure the privacy of the student's data. 10. Termination: Outline the circumstances under which either party can terminate the agreement. For example, a termination clause might state that the contract can be ended with written notice by either party or specify certain breaches that can lead to immediate termination. Types of Minnesota Contract or Agreement with Tutor include: 1. Individual Tutoring Contract: This type of agreement is made between a tutor and a single student, focusing on providing personalized instruction based on the student's unique needs and goals. 2. Group Tutoring Contract: This agreement applies when a tutor is providing instruction to a group of students simultaneously, allowing for shared expenses and cohesive peer learning dynamics. 3. Online Tutoring Agreement: This type of contract pertains to tutoring sessions conducted virtually, typically via video conferencing platforms, between the tutor and student(s).
