🔹 How do I pay for tutoring sessions 🔹 Do I pay the tutor directly 🔹 Is there a payment system for academic support 🔹 Does Acadia handle tutoring fees

Tutoring payments are arranged directly between you and the tutor — Acadia University does not manage or process any tutoring fees.

Here’s how it works:

• 💳 You’ll discuss rates and payment method with your assigned tutor (most charge around $20/hour)

• 🧾 Payment can be made by cash, e-transfer, or other method agreed upon by both parties

• 📄 Before starting, you’ll be asked to review and sign a Tutoring Agreement Form, which outlines expectations and responsibilities

• 🧑‍🏫 Tutors are faculty-recommended and approved by the Tutoring Coordinator, but they operate independently when it comes to payment

Tip: Always confirm the rate and payment schedule before your first session to avoid any confusion later.

📘 Helpful Definitions:

• Tutoring Agreement Form: A document outlining expectations and responsibilities for both student and tutor
