Platform Terms for Tutors

This platform is operated by Learning Bridge LTD, a company registered in England and Wales. The platform currently trades under the Mr Moussally brand. Mr Moussally is an Edexcel Examiner and qualified secondary maths teacher.

By applying to teach on the platform you are entering into a self-employed engagement with Learning Bridge LTD and agreeing to represent the platform's quality standards in every session you deliver.

You provide your services as a self-employed independent contractor. You are not an employee, worker, agent, or partner of Learning Bridge LTD, and nothing in these terms creates an employment relationship, partnership, or joint venture between us.

• You are responsible for your own tax, National Insurance (or the equivalent in your country of residence), and any business registration your jurisdiction requires
• You are not entitled to holiday pay, sick pay, pension contributions, or any other employee benefit
• You decide your own availability and set your own rates above the platform minimum
• You may teach elsewhere, including for other platforms, provided you meet the commitments you have already accepted here
• You are responsible for your own insurance — see your Tutor Agreement

Because teachers on this platform are based in more than one country, your own tax and self-employment obligations depend on where you live. If you are unsure how these terms apply to you, take your own professional advice before signing your Tutor Agreement.

The platform retains a commission (a percentage of revenue) as a platform fee, and you keep the majority of what you earn. Commission is agreed individually — your exact rate is set out in your Tutor Agreement, and you can see it any time on your Finance page.

We may change your rate only on at least 30 days' written notice(Clause 5 of your Tutor Agreement). A change never affects work you have already done: every course and lesson booking keeps the commission rate it was created with, so your past earnings are never recalculated.

• The commission applies to group session revenue
• The commission applies to private (1-to-1) lesson revenue
• The commission applies to course enrollment revenue

Payouts are calculated monthly. Minimum rates are set in the platform configuration and you may not advertise sessions below these minimums through the platform.

You set your own rates above the platform minimum. The platform will never change your advertised rate without your explicit consent.

You are paid in pounds sterling (GBP). Your earnings are shown in GBP throughout your Finance dashboard, and that GBP figure is what you are paid.

Some lessons are agreed and charged to the parent in another currency (for example UAE dirhams for a family based in the UAE). Where that happens, the amount is converted to GBP and your GBP earnings are based on the amount actually received after currency conversion, recorded at the time the payment is taken. Because exchange rates move, the GBP figure for a lesson priced in another currency is fixed when the payment is collected, not when the lesson is booked.

By joining the platform you confirm that you:

• Hold a recognised UK teaching qualification (QTS, PGCE, BEd, or equivalent)
• Are a practising or recently practising secondary school teacher
• Have an accurate and up-to-date Enhanced DBS certificate (see §4)
• Will deliver sessions on time and to a professional standard
• Will not mislead students or parents about your qualifications or experience
• Will keep your profile information accurate at all times
• Will give at least 24 hours' notice for any session cancellation
• Will follow the platform's content quality standards when creating notes or questions (reviewed by Mr Moussally before publication)

All tutors must hold a valid Enhanced DBS certificate before delivering their first session to a student under 18. This is a non-negotiable requirement with no exceptions.

You are responsible for maintaining your Enhanced DBS. The platform may request a copy of your DBS certificate at any time. If your DBS expires or is revoked, you must notify Mr Moussally immediately and you will not be permitted to deliver sessions until a valid certificate is in place.

The platform operates a safeguarding-first policy. Any safeguarding concern — however minor — must be reported to Mr Moussally immediately. Do not attempt to resolve safeguarding concerns independently.

Mr Moussally reserves the right to suspend or permanently deactivate any tutor account where a safeguarding concern is raised, with immediate effect and without prior notice, pending investigation.

The platform provides a messaging service between you and the parents of students you teach. You may reply to any parent who contacts you, but you may only start a new conversation with a parent whose child you already teach. Students have no access to messaging — you cannot message a student directly through the platform.

Messages are not private from the platform. All messages are stored, and Mr Moussally may read them where necessary to investigate a safeguarding concern, resolve a dispute, respond to a report of misuse, or comply with a legal obligation. Messages are not read routinely.

Do not use messaging to share personal contact details in order to arrange lessons outside the platform. Doing so is a breach of section 3 (Platform commission) and may result in deactivation.

Any revision notes, practice questions, or teaching materials you create on the platform remain your intellectual property. You grant the platform a non-exclusive licence to display your content to students enrolled in your sessions or courses for as long as you are active on the platform.

All new content is subject to a review process before it is visible to students. Mr Moussally or a designated reviewer may request edits to ensure accuracy and consistency with platform standards. You will always be consulted before any substantive change is made to your content.

If you deactivate your account, your content will be removed from student-facing pages within 30 days. Content already embedded in completed session logs (for the student's own records) will not be removed.

You must give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule any session. Cancellations within 24 hours without a genuine emergency reason may result in a platform warning or, in repeated cases, deactivation.

If a student does not attend a session and you have not been notified in advance, the session is still payable to you at the agreed rate.

If you cancel a session, the student is entitled to a full automatic refund for that session. You should also offer to reschedule at no additional cost.

The full cancellation and refund policy for students is at /terms.

Either party may end this engagement with 30 days' written notice (email is sufficient), subject to the completion of any sessions already booked by students. Neither side needs to give a reason.

The platform may deactivate your account and remove your listings immediately and without prior notice in any of the following circumstances:

• A safeguarding concern is raised against you
• Your DBS certificate is found to be expired, invalid, or revoked
• You provide false information on your application or profile
• You breach these terms in a material way
• A student or parent complaint is upheld following investigation

In all other cases we will give you 7 days' written notice before deactivation takes effect, and will tell you why.

Deactivation ends your access to the platform. It is not a disciplinary process and does not imply any employment relationship — see section 2.
