Refer a family, and you both get $75.

How it works

Three steps, and only one of them is yours.

Why we do it this way

We would rather pay you than pay for ads.

Getting a new family through advertising costs us roughly $150 by the time the ads, the clicks, and the enquiries that go nowhere are counted up. That money goes to Google and Meta.

A family sent by someone who has actually sat through our sessions is a better fit almost every time, and it costs us the same $150. So we split it: $75 to you, $75 to them. Same budget, better outcome, and the money stays with the people it came from.

That is also why the payout waits for the first completed session. It is the point where we know the match is real, and it means we are never paying for a name that was passed along just to collect.

Make a referral

Who should we talk to?

Only refer someone you actually know and who is happy to hear from us. We contact them once, mention your name, and leave it there if they are not interested.

The rules

The whole program, in plain terms.

• Who can refer. Any current or past Heywood Academies family.
• Who counts as referred. Someone who has not tutored with us before and is not already an enquiry in progress. If two people refer the same family, the first referral we received is the one that counts.
• When it pays out. After the referred family completes and pays for their first session. A booking on its own is not enough, and a consultation on its own is not enough.
• Your $75. Sent by Interac e-transfer to the email on your referral, usually within a week of that first session.
• Their $75. Applied as credit against tutoring. It has no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash, in whole or in part. It cannot be transferred to another family, and it is not refundable if tutoring stops, including as part of a refund on a prepaid package. It does not expire.
• How many. No limit. Refer as many families as you like, and each one that completes a first session pays out.
• Combining. The $75 credit can be used alongside our normal rates, but not stacked with another promotion on the same session.
• Changes. We can change or end this program at any time. Any referral already submitted will be honoured under the terms above.

Our full terms and conditions and privacy policy apply.

Questions

The things people ask first.

What if they sign up but never book a session?

Then nobody gets paid, including us. The payout is tied to a completed first session rather than a signup, because that is the point where we know it was a real match. If they book later, the referral still counts.

Do I have to be a current client to refer someone?

No. Any family who has tutored with us, now or in the past, can refer. If you have never worked with us and want to send someone our way anyway, please do, but the $75 is for families who know first-hand what they are recommending.

How do I get the money?

Interac e-transfer to the email address you put on the referral form, usually within a week of the referred family's first session. Make sure that address is one you can receive transfers at.

Can the referred family use the $75 on their first session?

Yes. The credit lands on their account once that first session is complete, so in practice it comes off their second invoice onward. It does not expire, so there is no rush to use it.

Can the $75 credit be taken as cash instead?

No. The referrer's $75 is cash by e-transfer, but the referred family's $75 is credit against tutoring only. It has no cash value, cannot be paid out, and is not refunded if they stop tutoring or ask for a refund on a prepaid package. It does not expire, so it can sit on the account until it is used.

Will you spam the person I refer?

No. We contact them once, say that you passed their name along, and offer a free consultation. If they are not interested, that is the last they hear from us. They are not added to any mailing list unless they ask to be.

Is there a limit on how many families I can refer?

No limit. Each family who completes a first session pays out $75, however many that ends up being.
