🚫 Direct Setting: Why Parents & Tutors Should Avoid It
📌 What is “Direct Setting”?
Direct setting means when parents and tutors agree to work privately—bypassing the bureau. It may look cheaper, but it removes the safety net of verification, accountability, and replacement support.
📌 Message for Tutors
Dear Tutor,
You have chosen a noble profession: shaping young minds. Every class you take builds not just a child’s learning but also your own reputation and career. But when you try to bypass the bureau through direct setting, you might earn a few extra rupees today, yet you risk losing something far more valuable tomorrow.
⚠️ Why Tutors Should Not Do Direct Setting
🤝 Loss of Trust – The bureau recommended you to the parents. Breaking that trust damages your professional image permanently.
🚫 Ban & Blacklisting – Tutor Bureaus Association shares defaulter lists. Once your name is there, you may never get assignments again from any Tutor Bureau.
📉 Short-Term Gain, Long-Term Loss – One direct deal may give you a small saving, but losing bureau support cuts off a steady flow of new tuitions.
🔍 No Backup or Support – If parents stop tuition suddenly, the bureau cannot help you because you bypassed the system.
🧑🎓 Professional Ethics Matter – Parents respect tutors who are honest, disciplined, and professional—not those who cheat the system.
🌱 The Right Way to Grow as a Tutor
📑 Register Properly – Submit documents and build trust with bureaus.
📈 Think Long-Term – Stable assignments and reputation bring more income than shortcuts.
🌟 Focus on Quality Teaching – Parents naturally recommend genuine, hardworking tutors.
🤝 Build Relationships with Bureaus – They act as your career partners, not middlemen.
💡 Earn Respect, Not Just Money – Your name in the tutoring world is worth more than a few hundred saved from commission.
💬 A Gentle Reminder to Tutors
Every child you teach is someone’s dream. Every parent is trusting you with their biggest responsibility. And every bureau that connects you with families is investing in your career.
👉 Don’t break that chain of trust.
👉 Don’t choose shortcuts over stability.
👉 Don’t spoil your career for a small temporary gain.
Be a professional tutor who values honesty and long-term growth. 🌟
✅ Together—Parents, Tutors, and Bureaus—can build an ecosystem of trust, safety, and success.
🚫 Direct Setting: Why Parents Should Avoid It
👨👩👧 For Parents: Choose Safe, Not “Secret Deals”
A small saving today can cost your child tomorrow. Many parents don’t realize the hidden risks of direct setting (hiring a tutor privately after being introduced by a bureau). Here’s why it’s unsafe and what you should know.
🔒 Why Avoiding Direct Setting Protects Your Child
🛡️ Safety & Verification – Tutors introduced by a bureau are verified for identity and qualifications.
🔄 Guaranteed Replacement – If a tutor isn’t the right fit, the bureau provides a replacement quickly.
📑 Clear Expectations – Written terms reduce disputes and misunderstandings.
⏳ Save Time & Effort – Parents don’t waste time searching and testing unreliable tutors.
🎯 Focus on Results – Long-term outcomes matter more than a small short-term saving.
✅ What a Trusted Bureau Does for You
🔍 Screens and verifies tutors
💬 Explains fees transparently
👩🏫 Arranges demo classes before finalizing
⚖️ Handles disputes if they arise
📚 Keeps records for your safety
⚠️ Red Flags of Risky Direct Setting
Beware if a tutor:
❌ Offers a cheaper rate privately
❌ Refuses to provide documents through the bureau
❌ Pushes for cash payment without written terms
📝 Parent’s Quick Checklist
☑️ Shortlist 2 bureau-vetted tutors (quality + budget)
☑️ Attend a demo arranged by the bureau
☑️ Verify and record documents
☑️ Confirm written terms (fees, schedule, syllabus)
☑️ Make payments only through the bureau
🧠 Quick Reminders
Parents: Safety + support + replacement are worth more than a tiny discount.
Tutors: Reputation + steady assignments are worth more than skipping a fee.
Bureaus: Standards + transparency keep the ecosystem fair for everyone.
Let’s protect trust in home tuitions—together.
