Tutor Administrative Fee Explained

So that every tutor knows exactly how we collect lesson fees and when each payment reaches you, here are the arrangements in full.

The third lesson's fee, paid to you in two instalments
The balance settles at your agreed share
1

How we collect fees

For each student's course, we collect the first three lessons' fees, of which the first two lessons' fees form the basis for administrative and operating costs.

2

What you are paid

Once administrative and operating costs are deducted, the remaining one lesson's fee is paid to you in two instalments, settled at the agreed share between you and Hawkeye Education.

How you are paid

When each of the two payments falls due, and how the amount is worked out

Payments are made within the timeframes below, to the payment method you nominate (FPS / PayMe / AlipayHK).
STEP 1

First instalment

Within 7 days of the first lesson, we pay 50% of the first lesson's fee.

First lesson's fee × 50%
STEP 2

Second instalment

Within 7 days of the third lesson, we pay the balance — the third lesson's fee less the 50% already paid.

Third lesson's fee in full − amount already paid
Early termination

If the student stops after the second lesson, we pay 50% of the second lesson's fee within 7 days.

Second lesson's fee × 50%

Worked examples

Three scenarios showing how the calculation works

Example 1
Lesson 11 hour$400
Lesson 21 hour$400
Lesson 31 hour$400
First two lessons2 hours
Total fees (3 lessons)$1,200
Admin fee (2 lessons)$800
First instalment (within 7 days of lesson 1)$400 × 50% = $200
Second instalment (within 7 days of lesson 3)$400 − $200 = $200
Example 2
Lesson 11 hour$400
Lesson 21 hour$400
Lesson 31.5 hours$600
First two lessons2 hours
Total fees (3 lessons)$1,400
Admin fee (2 lessons)$800
First instalment (within 7 days of lesson 1)$400 × 50% = $200
Second instalment (within 7 days of lesson 3)$600 − $200 = $400
Example 3
Lesson 11 hour$400
Lesson 21.5 hours$600
Lesson 31 hour$400
First two lessons2.5 hours
Total fees (3 lessons)$1,400
Admin fee (2 lessons)$1,000
First instalment (within 7 days of lesson 1)$400 × 50% = $200
Second instalment (within 7 days of lesson 3)$400 − $200 = $200

Things to note

1

All lesson fee and administrative fee calculations follow the lesson rates we publish.

2

If a student withdraws partway, changes class, or any special circumstance beyond the above arises, the administrative fee and the tutor's due payment will be handled separately under our established policy.

3
