Free Coding Tutor
Service Agreement
One 'quick question' at midnight turns into a free twelve-hour shift that burns out your hardware and your bank account. Without a signed paper, these kids will charge back their tuition and leave you bankrupt for their own incompetence.
Pro Contractor Tip
Staple a 'Payment Milestone' clause to the front so you get cash in hand before you ever touch their keyboard.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Coding Tutor, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
My student keeps dragging the session out past the hour, how do I stop it?
Clock-out time is non-negotiable; having an 'Overtime Rate' in writing makes it clear that if the meter is running, they're paying for the extra gas.
What if they say my code fixes didn't get them an 'A' and try to sue?
You're a tutor, not a miracle worker; use an 'Outcome Disclaimer' to prove you're paid for the labor, not the grade, protecting you from a lawsuit when they slack off.
They want to pay me after the project is done, is that okay?
Only if you like working for free; a 'Retainer Requirement' ensures you have skin in the game and their check cleared before you waste a single breath.
