a signed promise about what stays private
Drawn for this page. Families share a lot with a tutor; a short signed agreement says what happens to it.

How to use it

  2. Enter your business name and who works with the student.
  3. Choose what information is covered.
  4. Set the rules for the school, recordings and records.
  5. Print the agreement for the family to sign.

What the builder is for

Why a written agreement

FERPA governs schools, not private tutors, so a family’s privacy with a tutor rests on the tutor’s own promise. Writing it down, with the family’s choices about the school and recordings, prevents misunderstandings later.

The limits

No confidentiality promise is absolute. Tutors may be required or allowed by law to report suspected abuse or neglect, and anyone may act to prevent serious and imminent harm. Say so up front, and check the reporting law where you work.

What this is not

A plain-language template, not legal advice. Have an attorney look at your standard agreement if you run a larger business or work with schools under contract.
