Transparent fees
Fees & 7-Day Replacement Guarantee
Rs 0 registration, 1 free demo class, and no fee from parents: you pay the tutor directly, and Qutbnuma’s share comes from the tutor. Plain terms, in writing: who pays what, when, and what happens if the tutor is not right.
Who you pay: intermediary disclosure
Qutbnuma is a tutor placement service (an intermediary). Tutors are independent, not Qutbnuma employees. We introduce, check and follow up; the parent and the tutor agree the teaching method, timing and fee between themselves, and the parent pays the tutor directly. “Qutbnuma’s share” below is our fee for that introduction and follow-up; the tutor pays it, not the parent. Qutbnuma is not an open online marketplace: the founder makes every match.
Families outside Pakistan: you pay the teacher directly
This page is written for families in Pakistan (home tuition in Karachi, online classes anywhere in Pakistan). For online Quran classes for children abroad, Qutbnuma never receives foreign currency: you pay the teacher directly, and payment and refunds follow Terms, section 9 and how you pay for online Quran classes.
How much does Qutbnuma charge?
Parents pay Rs 0 registration and nothing for the demo class. Families pay the tutor’s monthly fee directly to the tutor. Qutbnuma takes no fee and no payment from parents. Our share (50% of the first month’s fee only) comes from the tutor, after the first month is complete. Nothing is added to the fee you agree with the tutor. Every case is in the table below.
| Item | What it means |
|---|---|
| Parents: registration fee | Rs 0 |
| Parents: fee or payment to Qutbnuma | Rs 0 |
| Tutors: registration fee or deposit | Rs 0 · no security deposit |
| Tutor’s monthly fee | Agreed between the parent and the tutor; the parent pays it directly to the tutor, from the first month |
| Qutbnuma’s share (monthly tuition) | 50% of the first month’s fee only, once, paid by the tutor after the first month is complete |
| Short tuition (crash course, 45 days or less) | 35% of the total agreed fee, paid by the tutor |
| Brothers and sisters, one tutor, one combined fee | 50% of the combined first-month fee, once (not per child), paid by the tutor |
| Brother and sister (son and daughter) | One female tutor can teach both, for one combined fee. Or a male tutor for your son and a female tutor for your daughter: two separate bookings, and each tutor pays 50% of their own first-month fee |
| From month 2 | The full fee belongs to the tutor; nothing goes to Qutbnuma |
| Demo class | 1 demo class free, before you confirm |
| Hidden charges | None |
Is your share an extra charge?
No. You pay the tutor only the fee you agreed, directly. After the first month is complete, the tutor sends half of the first month’s fee to Qutbnuma as our share; nothing is added for you.
Payment flow
Who pays what, and when
Parents pay only the tutor. Qutbnuma’s share comes from the tutor, recorded against an Order ID.
Request and match
You send a request; we match a tutor we have checked.
Free demo class
One demo class is free. If it does not feel right, you do not have to confirm.
Confirm with the tutor
If you continue, you and the tutor fix the days, time and fee. Nothing is paid to Qutbnuma.
Pay the tutor
You pay the tutor’s fee directly to the tutor, from the first month.
After the first month
When the first month is complete and the tutor has received the fee, the tutor sends Qutbnuma’s share (50% of the first month’s fee) within 3 days, with the Order ID we give the tutor (format QN-YYMMDD-NNN, for example QN-261001-001).
Month 2 onwards
The full fee goes straight to the tutor. Nothing is paid to Qutbnuma.
Payment safety
Qutbnuma never asks parents for money. If anyone asks you to pay Qutbnuma, do not pay, and check with our official WhatsApp (0313-2988345) first.
Our guarantee
Demo and replacement
1 free demo class
One demo class before you confirm, completely free. After it you can confirm or say no, with no charge.
7-day replacement
Not happy in the first 7 days? Tell us on WhatsApp, and we look for a replacement tutor at no cost to you (while we are new, another checked tutor for your area and time may not be free); if none is available, you can stop, and you owe Qutbnuma nothing.
Fees paid to the tutor are between the parent and the tutor (Qutbnuma does not hold the tutor’s money), but we help with the conversation if there is a problem.
12-month non-circumvention
For 12 months after an introduction, if the same tutor teaches the same family (siblings included), even if it was arranged outside Qutbnuma, it counts as a Qutbnuma placement and the tutor pays Qutbnuma’s share under these fee rules. The rule applies to parents and tutors alike; parents in Pakistan accept it before the demo by replying “OK” on WhatsApp. It costs parents nothing extra. Adding a brother or sister does not restart the 12 months.
Complaints
Send complaints only to our official WhatsApp. You get a written reply within 15 days (in line with the Sindh Consumer Protection Act 2014), usually within 24 hours.
The right tutor. The right direction.
