FAQ

Darsoon is a marketplace for private online tutoring. We provide a medium where tutors can present themselves through their profile's pages, and students can select their preferred tutors.

We are a few families living in Toronto, Canada who have created this website. We took online classes for our children during the pandemic and realized how useful these classes are. Even though these classes were online and remote, they were even better than in-person classes in several aspects. That's why we decided to create this website so that more people can take advantage of these services.

The first group of the tutors are those who have been our own or our children's tutors and we were very satisfied with their qualifications and teaching skills. We now have a very robust selection process, where we review the resumes, and interview selected candidates. Once they pass all our criteria, they are added to the website.

You first choose your preferred tutor on the Darsoon website and fill out the introductory meeting request form. We will share your contact information with the tutor and ask them to contact you to schedule the introductory meeting. The tutor may reach out via WhatsApp or email. The introductory meeting is free and lasts about 15 minutes, during which you and the tutor discuss expectations and teaching style. If both sides agree to continue, you can make the payment on the tutor's profile page on the Darsoon website. The prices listed on the website apply when you buy the 5 or 12 session packages. If you buy a single session, the cost is 15 percent higher. You will also receive a 5 percent discount if you buy the 20 session package. If you attend any session without having an active package, the session will be counted as an unpaid session and priced at the single session rate with the 15 percent increase. After completing the payment, you can schedule your sessions directly with the tutor.

A free introductory meeting is a short 15-minute video call that gives you and the tutor a chance to get to know each other better. During this session, you can discuss the tutor's teaching style, your own needs, and anything else that is important to you. After that, you can make a more informed decision about whether or not to purchase a package to start classes.In this session, the tutor will not be teaching. It is simply a chance to get to know the tutor.

Darsoon's students include children of five years of age and above to adults and seniors. On each tutor's profile page, you can see what age group the lessons are suitable for. After you select a tutor for your children, you can also make sure that the lessons are suitable for them during the introductory session.

You can change the time of your class up to 24 hours before the start of the class by contacting the tutor and coordinating with him/her.

You can pay online by credit card using the secure Square gateway on our website. On the Payment page, you can select the package you would like to purchase, and then make the payment. If you are a resident of Canada, you can also pay by e-transfer. Please contact us if you would like to use this method of payment.

The price of the lessons is set by the tutors. Darsoon only provides a price range which is the same for the tutors who teach a subject.

Direct payment to the tutors is not permitted as it creates accounting problems for Darsoon.

Tutors and students can agree on their platform of choice. Darsoon recommends Teams or Google Meet.
