While Novicate Academy provides professional and knowledgeable tutors to students, we do not guarantee specific student results. The result of a student is dependent on many factors,including their study habits, work ethic, schooling experience, teaching methods and engagement at school.
While Novicate Academy is dedicated to providing the best tutoring by hiring only the best tutors possible to help support and guide the student, our tutors should not be viewed as a replacement for laziness, nor the providers of a guaranteed result. Novicate Academy hereby highlights that the Company will not be legally responsible should results not be deemed desirable by a Client.
On the Novicate Academy website, the term ‘screened’ refers to tutors sending through a mock tutoring video for usto review prior to being onboarded. We review these videos to ensure passion and ability to teach. The term ‘qualified’ refers to a past Year 12 graduate who has attained the study score for their respective subject. ‘Qualified’ should not be confused with having earned a teaching degree unless otherwise stated by the tutor in their profile.
