tutor time pn

2mmama

Originally I was a fan of Tutor Time also, no complain on their teachers, curriculums n environment. I did recommend to friends to study there.

My daughter was there since 1 year old, 4 years ago
I continued to register my younger son last year in playgroup n nursery

Everything was fine until the new registration policy of this coming September new term!

Be careful of their tricky way of asking the deposit!
Clever parents pls take notice!

I will say thanks to all teaching staff

So did the Dept of Education say that Tutor Time have broken their rules?

已交有關當局調查
(大家知道政府工作要時間）

同時我收到校長電話，話9月冇位比我個仔讀N班（即使交左2個月留位費）

Can you please provide more information on your current situation?  

Which campus are you referring to?   What class is you child in and what class did you register for?  

So you paid the deposit, but still questioned the school's deposit policy and asked the Dept of Education to look into it?   

By saying the school is now returning the deposit back to you. Are you implying that the school found out you complained to the govt and so rejected you child on purpose?

It's a long story

To be simple:

I have a boy who is now studying PN class in Tutor Time (sulfolk)

For coming 9/2013 PN new registration, they asked a deposit of 2 months tuition fee which is debited by another private company. I paid and had some queries because it seemed that not a common practice.

Then I checked with Social Welfare Dept and they started to investigate the case. A few days later, I received a call from the centre director and she said though I paid and registered, they don't have any place for my boy in cominng 9/2013.

BTW, if what Tutor TIme did about the new deposit is nothing offend the regulation, why don't they answer my query directly ?

The school director just asked me not to register their school and even kicked my son out of the campus

Why does TT ask parents to pay deposit not to school direct but to another company instead ?

I do not understand

請問知唔知tutor time今年留位9月份N班，現在要交2個月學費$15800給一間私人有限公司，有冇問題？ ...

Regard to the two months deposit, $7,900.00 is the first month of tuition, and the other $7,900.00 is security deposit, it is for the final month of enrollment.

No ar. The 2 months deposit is all for secure the registration only. Not any part for tuition fee
That's why I felt doubt and asked for government regulation guide.
You check carefully

If what you said is true, then I won't hv any query

下？留位費唔係會响學費扣除架咩？$15600 比咗冇得當學費架？

2mmama

Debit note 寫明，唔讀要事先申請退回按金，要交晒所有學費，冇欠學校錢，先退返deposit

hksunshine

But TT is a private school, does the gov't regulations on deposit apply to them ?

2mmama

細細間補習社都受教育處監管，
咁大間學校一定要註冊
They are under social welfare dept registration

除非無牌經營，咁仲嚴重！

就算做生意，都要有良心呀
