Direct payments including cash, check and money order, money-sharing apps, PayPal invoices, and other methods, are not permitted at any time. All payments are processed through SpeedyTutor via Stripe. 

Ensuring that all of your lessons are paid according to SpeedyTutors's Student Payment Policies helps to protect both parties under our Terms of Use, should events such as scheduling misunderstandings, pricing questions, lesson cancellations, or payment disputes arise. We can’t provide these benefits if payment between tutors and students takes place outside of the SpeedyTutor billing system. 

Also, keep in mind that we can't provide our SpeedyTutor Guarantee if payment happens outside of the SpeedyTutor system!
