Are you an individual tutor looking for business insurance? We're ready to help.
General liability, professional liability, property, and data security.
See if you are a fit for our competitive pricing.
If you drop your student's laptop during a tutoring session, they can bring a lawsuit against you. General liability can cover both the lawsuit and settlement.
If a parent accuses you of failing to prepare their child for a test, they can bring a claim against you. Professional liability can cover both the legal fees and potential damages of the claim.
If the property used for your business is damaged in a fire or stolen, you can be covered for its replacement.
If your computer is hacked and your client's information is stolen, most states require that you notify each client in writing. Cyber liability can cover the costs and guide you through the process.
Set appropriate expectations - Tutors may be sued by parents whose child fails an important exam. Due to this risk, it is valuable to discuss your role by setting reasonable expectations and goals with all the parties involved. Do not make promises that cannot be upheld.
Tailor your lessons to the individual - What works for one student may not work for another. Listen to the feedback your students provide and make the appropriate adjustments. By assessing your students individually and maintaining flexibility in your tutoring style, you will increase the likelihood of a positive outcome.
Be prepared - Preparation can maximize the time spent with a student. It is valuable to have a working knowledge of the topic you are discussing with your student. Create an agenda to structure each meeting.
Know your role - Tutors have been sued for completing students' assignments, assisting with take-home exams or commenting on other instructors. You are responsible for helping the student through the learning process rather than doing their work for them.
Stay safe - When conducting one-on-one tutoring sessions, try to meet your client in a public space during daytime hours. Always have your mobile phone with you and be quick to report any incidents. Perceived inappropriate or unwanted touching becomes a he-said she-said court battle, and even groundless lawsuits can have a devastating effect on your career.
I am pleased to take this opportunity to relate my experience with World Insurance Associates. After being referred to the company by a trusted friend; I had the pleasure of working with a very positive and responsive staff. My agent, Nilda Rodriguez, was especially helpful in getting me the best deal. As a result, I am more than satisfied with the insurance package I received. I highly recommend doing business with World Insurance.
I was very satisfied with the help I received from Walt Paytner, My insurance premiums kept climbing and I needed to search a better option since it was truly too high in my budgeting. I have a great record for driving and yet it was being penalized by Liberty Mutual. I was very satisfied with Travelers and getting the same coverage and even added road side assistance. It was a big difference in my auto and a reduction in my homeowners. P.S Walt was very helpful.
Excellent service and always helpful! I have used and continue to use World Insurance for all my insurance needs. They are customer oriented and always there to service you whenever you have a question or just need direction. Pricing is very competitive. Highly recommended!
Our experience was great. Your company was quick with a quote, and very accommodating, and priced
