Terms of use

1. Using this website

By using CityTutor Classified, you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site. The site is operated as an independent online project; these terms do not represent a company registration or a regulated professional service.

2. What the service is

CityTutor Classified is a free classifieds noticeboard for tuition requirements. Parents and guardians may publish a requirement; tutors may browse published requirements and apply for them through the site. Applications are visible only to the parent who owns the requirement, and a parent phone number is never published.

The service is not a tutoring agency, an employer, a recruitment consultancy, a payment processor, or a marketplace that arranges lessons. It does not set fees, collect payments, supervise lessons, or verify qualifications.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or a parent/guardian acting for a student, to submit a requirement or use the contact form. The site is not intended for children to use independently.

4. Parents’ and guardians’ responsibilities

• Submit accurate information about the class, subjects, locality and timing.
• You are designated as responsible for your own data-privacy choices and for the personal information you submit. The website administrator is not designated as responsible for those choices.
• Use a phone number you are entitled to share with the platform, and understand that it is used for messages about the requirement and for moderation — it is never published.
• Do not include a child’s full name, exact address, identity documents or other unnecessary identifying details.
• Assess tutors yourself — including experience, references, safety and suitability — before allowing lessons.
• Ask for a listing to be closed or removed when the tuition is arranged or no longer needed.

5. Tutors’ and teachers’ responsibilities

• Represent your experience and qualifications truthfully.
• Apply for requirements through the site rather than attempting to contact a family directly.
• Do not pressure, harass, spam or repeatedly contact a family that is not interested.
• Never share, resell or reuse a parent’s phone number, and do not add it to marketing lists.
• Agree fees, schedule, cancellation and safety arrangements directly and clearly with the parent.

6. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

• Post false, misleading, duplicate, spam or fraudulent requirements.
• Impersonate another person, or publish someone else’s contact details without their permission.
• Harass, threaten, discriminate against or abuse any person.
• Publish illegal content, malware, phishing links or content that infringes another person’s rights.
• Scrape, harvest or bulk-collect contact information, or use automated tools to bypass rate limits, form tokens or other protections.
• Attempt to access administrative areas, other users’ data, or the database without authorization.

7. Listing review, rejection, expiry and removal

Every submission is stored as pending and reviewed manually. We may edit, publish, reject, close, expire or remove a listing. Publication is not guaranteed, and no review time is promised.

Published listings expire automatically (45 days after approval by default, as configured by the owner) and can be closed earlier. Removed or expired listings are no longer publicly visible. Repeated or near-identical submissions may be rejected as duplicates.

Reporting a listing does not remove it automatically. A report is reviewed by the site owner, who decides whether to correct, close or remove the listing.
