2. Teacher-Student.com (Access Japanese Inc) Responsibilities
Teacher-Student.com(Access Japanese Inc) staff members are only responsible for
attending initial introductory trial lessons, at which they will be expected to
facilitate teachers and students. Teacher-Student.com(Access Japanese Inc) is
not liable for any financial transactions between the student and his/her
teacher, and thus can not be held responsible for any missed payments,
cancellation charges, or other fees that the student and his/her teacher may
have agreed to. These are the sole responsibility of the student and his/her
teacher.

3. Teacher Responsibilities
Responsibilities of all teachers include punctuality and the provision of lesson
materials based on the teacher's prior assessment of the student's expectations.
Canceling should only be considered when absolutely necessary. If the teacher
cannot continue to teach due to unavoidable reasons, the teacher must let
students and Teacher-Student.com(Access Japanese Inc)  know at least 1 month in
advance. Teachers are responsible for handling their own income tax issues.
No tax is deducted from Matching System lesson fees.

4. Your Profile
Online teacher profiles must be completed accurately.  Information found to be
less than truthful will be deleted, and will result in a routine investigation
of the teacher in question. It is imperative that we have your (mobile) phone
number for smooth communication with you, but we will not disclose it with the
student until they decide to take your lesson.

5. Teacher Fees
Teachers receive the lesson fee directly from students at the end of each lesson.
To avoid any discomfort on the students' parts, do not negotiate your fee with
the students.
We would like you to emphasize that you do not raise your fee for your existing
students because it would be unfair to them.  All fees are
non-negotiable and unchangeable once the fee is agreed between the
teacher and student.

Transportation fee WILL NOT be paid for lessons given at the teacher's selected
teaching locations. Please include travel expenses when setting your fee based
on the stations that you listed as your preferred teaching locations. When the
lesson takes place at a cafe, teachers and students are required to pay for
their own expenses including transportation, beverages, and food.

Please note that the maximum lesson fee allowed is 3,500yen.
We understand that your profile maybe on other web sites but please try to keep
your fee the same. 3000yen is the average market rate.

Three students take lessons together; the lesson fee should be 60 minutes lesson fee x 2.

6. Trial lesson (about 30 minutes)
Trial lesson fee will not be paid.
An advisor will attend the first trial lesson with a prospective student.
We request that the teacher fill out a Student Evaluation Form any time during
the trial lesson.

7. Cancellation

We, Teacher-Student.com, don't have a cancellation policy, however,
the teachers and students should maintain a respectful attitude towards each
other when it comes to cancellations, and cancel reasonably ahead of time. If a
teacher would like to have their own policy about cancellations, please include
it in your teacher profile as a part of your comment to the students.

8. Process of Termination

If teachers have plans to return to their home country within 6 months
of staying in Japan and cannot commit to at least 6 months of teaching through
www.Teacher-student.com, please notify us as soon as possible.

Under any circumstances, if teachers are no longer able to continue teaching a
student, please notify us and your student immediately.  Please do not privately
introduce your student to another teacher who is not registered with
Teacher-Student.com(Access Japanese Inc.).   If you know somebody who is able to
take over your students' lessons, please have him/her register with
Teacher-Student.com(Access Japanese Inc.).   We would like you to then inform us
and your students of the new teacher's full name.

This is important and necessary because we sign a contract with the students for
a predetermined period of time, which makes us liable to provide the student
with certain services. We just need to make sure that the new teacher agrees to
our policies.
