Differentiate Tutoring Inc. · 3398 McKinley Beach Ln. 101, Kelowna BC V1V 0C5, Canada · Incorporation number BC1573628 (“Differentiate”, “the platform”), and you, the tutor.
Last updated: 2026-08-15.
You are an independent, self-employed professional. This agreement makes you a supplier on the Differentiate platform. It does not create employment, agency by you for us, partnership, or any social-insurance relationship. In particular:
You appoint Differentiate as your disclosed commercial agent for the limited purpose of concluding tutoring contracts with clients on the standard rate card (§4) and collecting payment in your name and on your behalf.
Client payment to Differentiate discharges the client's debt to you. Funds collected for you are recorded on a per-tutor ledger and paid out under §5.
Admission requires proof of your IB results, or equivalent, for every subject you offer, and an interview. You warrant that your credentials and profile are truthful.
You will conduct sessions punctually and professionally; provide the post-session progress update and session file through the platform; treat all client information as confidential and use it only to deliver sessions; and observe that most students are minors — no contact with students outside the platform's channels, no one-to-one communication unrelated to tutoring, and immediate reporting of any safeguarding concern to Differentiate.
You are paid €28 for every hour you teach. A 60-minute session pays you €28; a 90-minute session pays you €42.
Sessions are offered to clients at the platform's standard rate card, currently €58 per 60 minutes and €85 per 90 minutes. Differentiate's commission is the difference between the price the client pays and what you are paid, plus any payment-processing costs the platform bears. It therefore varies from session to session and is shown, per session, on your monthly statement.
Discounts and promotional codes are Differentiate's decision and come out of Differentiate's commission. They never reduce what you are paid for an hour taught.
No session, no commission: fully refunded sessions carry none, and you are not paid for them either.
Changes to your hourly rate or to the rate card are announced 30 days ahead; continued use is acceptance.
The commission is invoiced to you monthly (§5) and set off against your payout.
As the commission is a service supplied from Canada to your business, the reverse-charge mechanism applies where you are in the EU — you account for any VAT due on it in your own country.
Published availability is offered for booking. Once a session is booked you honour it; if you must cancel, do it at the earliest moment through the platform — the client is fully refunded, and repeated tutor cancellations are grounds for removal.
Where a client cancels inside the free cancellation window or does not attend, the fee remains due to you and is paid out normally.
You will provide and keep current: legal name, residential address, date of birth, tax identification number, VAT identification number if you have one, and your VAT status — small entrepreneur (§19 UStG or national equivalent), VAT-registered, or established outside the EU.
This data controls what your clients' receipts say, what your statements say, and what Differentiate must report to tax authorities under platform-reporting rules (EU DAC7 and their Canadian equivalent). You consent to that reporting; it is a legal obligation, not a choice.
If you exceed your national small-entrepreneur threshold, you must update your status before your next session.
You are responsible for the sessions you deliver. Differentiate is responsible for the platform. Neither party is liable to the other for indirect loss.
You indemnify Differentiate against claims arising from your breach of §3 (truthfulness, confidentiality, safeguarding) or your failure to meet your own tax obligations.
Nothing limits liability for intent, gross negligence, or injury to life, body or health.
For client personal data you receive through the platform, you act on Differentiate's documented instructions, use it only to deliver sessions, keep it confidential and secure, and delete it when the relationship ends.
Your own data is handled per the privacy policy.
Either side may end this agreement with 14 days' notice. Differentiate may end it immediately for material breach, including any safeguarding violation, which ends it on the spot.
Booked sessions at the end date are either delivered or refunded. Sections 5 (final statement), 7 (reporting), 8 and 9 survive.
This is a business-to-business agreement governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada.
Mandatory provisions of the law of your place of business — including any that protect self-employed persons — remain unaffected.
