1
First lesson paid
The first tutor is the right match.
You continue with the tutor
The trial becomes your first paid lesson because you are happy to continue with that tutor.
Do not pay for the wrong first tutor.
Try a tutor before you commit.
Your first Erudite lesson is protected by our satisfaction guarantee. If the tutor is not the right match, you do not pay for that unsuitable trial and we will help find someone better suited.
If the tutor works well and you choose to continue, the trial becomes your first paid lesson. There is no long-term contract and no need to decide before your child has met the tutor.
Example outcomes
What you pay depends on whether the match works.
The guarantee is not a hidden fee or a sales condition. After the first lesson, you decide whether to continue with the tutor or ask us to adjust the match without charging for the unsuitable trial.
2
Third lesson paid
It takes more than one attempt to find the right tutor.
You only pay once the match works
If the first two tutor trials are not right, we keep refining the match. When the third tutor works and you continue, that lesson is billed.
3
No payment required
You decide tutoring is not right for now.
You can stop without paying
If the trial shows tutoring is not what your family needs right now, there is no payment required for that first unsuitable lesson.
How it works
One trial lesson, then a real decision.
The trial is designed to answer the question parents need answered: can this tutor help my child learn?
- Step 1
Book one trial lesson
Tell us the year level, subject, lesson format, goals, and any tutor preferences before we match.
- Step 2
Meet the tutor
The tutor works with your child and gets a practical sense of learning style, confidence, and knowledge gaps.
- Step 3
Decide after the lesson
If the fit is right, you continue and the trial is billed as your first lesson.
- Step 4
Rematch if needed
If the tutor is not right, the lesson is on us and we help arrange a better match.
Plain English terms
What the tutoring guarantee covers.
The guarantee is for the first tutor-fit decision. It gives your family room to try a private tutoring lesson, give honest feedback, and continue only when the match is worth keeping.
The short version
You pay for the trial when you choose to continue with that tutor. If the match is not right, the unsuitable first lesson is on us.
Applies to your first suitable tutor match
The guarantee reduces the risk of starting while we find the first tutor your family is happy to continue with.
Feedback helps us rematch well
Specific feedback about teaching style, personality, subject level, or schedule helps us adjust the next match.
Continuation means the trial is billed
If you are happy with the tutor and choose to continue regular lessons, the trial lesson is payable.
Regular lessons follow normal policies
Once you have chosen to continue with a tutor, future lessons follow Erudite's pricing and cancellation terms.

If you need a tutor for your kids, Erudite Tuition is great! I've used them for almost 2years as i felt due to covid my kids education went down hill:-( I love that are able to come to my house and tutor both of my kids @ the same time(yr 3 & yr 5 students) my kids love their tutor Deveka and the company itself is really good. I've never had an issue with either one. I've recommended this company to friends and family and will continue to do so. Great work guys. Thanks heaps😁

Jerry was outstanding! Found my younger sister a primary school tutor asap and we have been very pleased with her ever since. They really do a good job of finding a tutor which matches the students learning style. 15/10!

Jared was fantastic. Patient, dedicated, engaging. We really felt that he was as invested in our daughter doing well on her OC test as we are. She loved him. We couldn't recommend him more highly. Thank you.

Common guarantee questions
Know the terms before you book.
Parents should know when payment is required, when it is not, and how tutor rematching works.
What counts as not satisfied with the trial lesson?
It may be the tutor's teaching style, subject fit, communication, level, rapport with your child, or a sense that tutoring is not right for your family yet. Tell us honestly and we will help with the next step.
Do I pay if I want to keep the tutor?
Yes. If you are happy with the tutor and want to continue regular lessons, the trial is treated as your first paid lesson.
Can I try more than one tutor?
Yes. If the first tutor is not the right match, we can arrange another trial and keep refining the match until you find a suitable tutor or decide not to continue.
Does the guarantee mean every future lesson is free if I change my mind?
No. The guarantee is about beginning safely and finding the first suitable tutor match. After you choose to continue with a tutor, normal lesson and cancellation policies apply.
Will the tutor know this is a trial?
Yes. Tutors understand the first lesson is about teaching and fit. They arrive prepared to teach, learn how your child works, and help you decide whether the match feels right.
