Frequently asked questions
Q: What would be the total payout for a trial class I taught where the learner ended up subscribing to weekly tutoring?
A: Example: The total payout would be $15—a $7.50 flat rate for the trial class, plus the $7.50 conversion bonus for the student subscribing.
Q: Do I need to submit an invoice through Remote for each pay period?
A: Nope! Our payment team automatically generates invoices for each pay period. These include all the payable items.
Q: What would be the total payout for a trial class I taught where the learner never subscribed to weekly tutoring?
A: The total payment would be $7.50 or $5.00. The conversion bonus is only paid if the student subscribes.
Q: When will I receive the payments for my conversion bonuses?
A: Monthly payments are made within the first 3 business days of the following month. Each month, you’ll receive payments for:
- All subscription classes taught
- All trial classes taught
- Any conversion bonuses earned
Q: If I teach a trial class in April and the learner subscribes in May, when will I get the conversion bonus?
A: The conversion bonus is paid the month the student subscribes. In this case, you’d receive the bonus with your May payment, issued in the first 3 business days of June.
Q: If I teach a trial class, but the learner gets assigned to a different tutor later, will I still get the subscription bonus?
A: Yes! As long as the learner attended a trial class with you and later subscribed, you’ll receive the bonus. You were the one who introduced them to Dojo Tutor, and we recognize that!
Q: What are class reports, and when do I receive them?
A: A Class Report is sent two business days after each pay period. It includes a record of all classes you taught during that period.
Q: What if a class is missing from my payment?
A: If a class wasn’t credited, you can dispute it using the dispute link in your Class Report. This link is sent at the end of each pay period.
