There are two key communication used by our office members, when engaging with our tutors. |
Student Briefs — a form of communication to share student background, school or university and specific challenges faced and/or highlighted by our students.
Intro Emails — an exchange of student contact details with the tutor. A template email for an introduction to be done by the tutor to our students. Introduction emails normally lead to placeholder discussion on scheduling details.

Below are Commonly Asked Questions
How does payroll work?
All tutoring events and duration are recorded via Teachworks. Total hours and wages will be automatically calculated.
How do I get paid? and how frequently do I get paid?
Every tutoring hour you conduct will be recorded in our system. At Tutor Lim, payroll is released every fortnight. At the start of the week, after the closure of the previous fortnight. Timesheet closure usually happens on Wednesday/ Thursday. Tutors will get paid on the following Monday/ Tuesday.
What type of employment am I under?
It varies for all tutors. By default, you will be engaged under casual employment. Under casual employment, all tutors are classified as 'independent contractors' rather than 'employees'. For part-time or full-time employment, information will be shared during onboarding and tutors will be advised accordingly by our staff members. Employment type depends on how active you are within the organisation.
If I am put on trial, do I still get paid for my first lesson?
Yes! As long as you passed your trial session, the hours conducted will be included in the first time payroll.
How do I qualify as a tutor?
To qualify as a tutor, you will have to go through all onboarding steps.
What if I fail my first trial lesson?
If you fail your first trial lesson with your appointed student, you will not be accepted into the community. Depending on the scenario, you may be given a second opportunity (To evaluate case-to-case). The candidate who is unsuccessful in his/ her first trial usually fails to complete one (or more) of the following items:
1. Fail to create rapport with the student.
2. Fail to come prepared for the lesson.
3. Fail to deliver the lesson or unable to answer any questions being asked by the student during the lesson.
