Sharing information with third parties

Clients: After clients have registered with us we will share the broad requirements of the assignment on an anonymous basis with our tutor pool so that relevant tutors can apply for the job. If a tutor applies for a job, PASS Tutors may send a link to that tutor’s profile to the client. If a client chooses to proceed with a tutor we will pass on the specific registration and student details to the tutor so that the tutor knows where the tutoring will happen, so that the tutor can prepare for the assignment and the tutor can contact the client to arrange lessons. Other than sharing information with our tutor pool on the basis outline above we will keep your personal information confidential within our group of companies and not pass it on to any 3rd parties unless we are required to do so by law.

Tutors: The information that you provide to PASS Tutors forms the basis of a tutor profile. This includes the following information: a photograph, the subjects that you teach, your teaching experience, personal biography, your personal teaching approach, and testimonials. This profile will be published on the PASS Tutors website only if you have ticked the “I would like my profile published on the PASS Tutors website.” You can untick this at any time to remove your profile from the Pass Tutor’s website. PASS Tutors may share your profile with prospective clients. We will pass on your contact details to clients for jobs that you have applied for or for jobs that you have expressed an interest in. Other than sharing information with our clients on the basis outlined above we will keep your personal information confidential within our group of companies and not pass it on to any 3rd parties unless we are required to do so by law.
