Paying your tutor can be a real inconvenience for everyone involved; tutors feel awkward chasing up payments, and parents hate having to do a bank transfer every time their child sees a tutor.
It's such a hassle! Here at KIS Academics, we wanted to make life easier for everyone! So we decided to do things a little differently.

How to pay your KIS Academics tutor?
Your first time meeting any KIS Academics tutor is always going to be a free, 30 minute study skill consultation.
During this session, you'll get to meet your tutor and build an individualised tutoring program for the year. No credit card details required, no lock in contract, no obligation to continue if you're not satisfied. It's as easy as pie 🥧

Afterwards, KIS Academics uses a centralised system to make lesson payments easy as well. All payments are automated to occur after your lesson and with complete flexibility. Cancel, reschedule and extend lessons as much as you like - we can keep up!
How does the Payment system work?
After your first paid session, your tutor will submit your lesson date and time to KIS Academics so we have it on record. You'll be emailed an invoice which you can pay online (just like buying something off Amazon!).
Here's what one of our invoices looks like:
You'll be sent an email with an invoice after every first session you do with a new tutor.
For every session after that, your tutor will submit a charge to KIS Academics with the time and date of the lesson. Once they've done that, the invoice will be sent. Finally, approximately 1 hour after your lesson was completed, the fee will be charged automatically and you won't have to lift a finger. The receipt will be automatically sent to your email inbox so you'll be notified of every payment that goes through.

What are the benefits of KIS Academics' Payment Method?
Here are a couple of awesome benefits to our payments process:
- With all payments automated to occur after your lesson, and with complete flexibility, there are no lock in contracts or packages. This means that you can cancel, reschedule and extend lessons as much as you like - we will keep up! 🙌 Plus, no more entering your card details every time, annoying bank transfers or awkward conversations!
- Our payments processor - Stripe - is used by some of the biggest companies in the world (Amazon, Zoom, Google and even the US Stock exchange!). They're like a better version of Paypal! You can rest assured that every payment you make with us is guaranteed to have maximum security. 🔐
- We think that getting charged BEFORE a lesson is a little bit weird and not that convenient for you. KIS Academics will never charge your card before a lesson. We keep detailed logs of the days and times lessons occur so everything is recorded, and you'll only ever be charged afterwards ✅
- You'll receive a receipt after every lesson as confirmation. You'll never be charged without us notifying you, and you can keep track of how much you're spending on tuition 💳
- We provide stellar customer support. If you ever have questions about tutoring, online programs or payments, our admin team will be there to help in the blink of an eye. Our inbox at [email protected] is always open 💌
