🔹 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

Understand how payment works for paid tutoring at Acadia University, including who manages the fees and how students arrange payment.

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

• Faculty-recommended tutor: A peer or graduate student endorsed by instructors for their academic strength

• Independent payment: A direct financial arrangement between student and tutor, not managed by the university
