Terms of Service

Wild Cats (“we”, “us”) operates wildcats.school, an online marketplace connecting families in Scotland with independent tutors for National 5, Higher, Advanced Higher and CfE-level tutoring.

We're a booking and payments layer over independent tutors — we don't employ tutors, and we don't deliver tuition ourselves. Every tutor on the platform is PVG-verified before they can be booked; see our safeguarding policy for what that means in practice.

Sessions are booked and paid for through the site, by card, via Stripe. Tutors set their own rate within published bands. You can cancel or move a session up to 24 hours before it starts at no charge; later changes may not be refundable, since the tutor has held that time for you.

Tutors are self-employed and not our employees. We vet them (PVG, references, GTCS where claimed) and set the platform's code of practice, but the teaching relationship is between the tutor and the family.

Sessions happen only through the platform's own video links — see safeguarding for why. Don't use the platform for anything unlawful, and don't attempt to take a tutor relationship off-platform to avoid fair use of the service.

We do our best to vet tutors thoroughly and keep the platform reliable, but we can't guarantee a particular tutor, teaching outcome, or exam result. To the extent the law allows, our liability is limited to the amount you've paid us in the 12 months before a claim.

We may update these terms as the service develops. Meaningful changes will be announced, not made quietly.

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland.
