Tutoring & Live Sessions

What technology do I need for a live session?

We recommend a laptop or desktop with a camera and microphone for the best experience. A stable internet connection in a quiet environment is essential.

Our platform offers high-quality live audio and video through LiveKit, screen sharing for presenting slides or external tools, and whiteboard capabilities.

What happens if a session is missed?

If a tutor doesn't show up within 30 minutes, the session is cancelled and funds are automatically refunded to your wallet. If you miss a session as a student, the tutor's time is compensated based on our cancellation policy.

Assignment Gigs

What are Assignment Gigs?

These are specific tasks or homework help projects students can post for expert assistance.

How do assignment requests work?

You post a request with your requirements and deadline. Tutors bid or claim the gig. Once you accept a tutor, the payment is held in escrow until the solution is submitted and reviewed.

How do I submit an assignment for review?

To submit an assignment request: 1) Go to the Dashboard and click 'Get Assignment Help'. 2) Click 'New Request' and fill in the details (the system will suggest a minimum offer). 3) Click 'Submit', upload your instruction files on the next page, and click 'Publish'.

Can I request revisions on an assignment?

Yes, you can request revisions if the submitted work doesn't meet your original specifications. Tutors are required to address these before funds are released from escrow.

How does the platform ensure academic integrity?

Gigs must follow local institutional ethical guidelines, and the platform strictly prohibits any form of academic dishonesty.

Marketplace & Resources

What subjects are covered?

We cover a wide array of categories, including Academic (Math, Science, History, Literature), Programming & Technology, Business, Language, Creative Arts, and Technical & Vocational subjects.

How do I access my purchased materials?

On the Dashboard, click 'My Library'. All purchased digital products, study bundles, and recorded sessions are stored there and available for immediate download once the PayChangu payment is confirmed.

Can I get a refund on digital downloads?

Sales are generally final due to the instant nature of digital products. However, if a download is significantly misrepresented, you may open a dispute for a review and potential refund.

Wallet & Payments

What forms of payment are accepted?

Supported payment methods are Airtel Money, TNM Mpamba, and Bank transfer.

How does the escrow system work?

When you pay for a session or gig via PayChangu, Tutordue holds the funds securely. The tutor is only credited once the service is delivered, ensuring your money is protected.

What happens if I'm not satisfied with a session?

You can open a dispute immediately after a session ends. Under the platform guarantee, payment is held and only released once the service is confirmed as delivered. Our support team will review complaints and lesson logs to determine if a full or partial refund is warranted.
