The Tidy Tutor Inner Circle – Membership Terms & Conditions

The Tidy Tutor Inner Circle provides unwavering support and expert guidance, empowering individuals to attain an organized and clutter-free life. We foster a sense of community, promoting accountability and offering valuable instructions via Tidy Tutor courses and workshops. This document details from the outset the way in which we will deliver our services to you. If you are planning to join The Tidy Tutor Inner Circle, (“the Membership”) then you must read these terms and conditions in full prior to purchasing.

  1. Membership Terms & Conditions (‘Terms’): Key Details

These Terms cannot be varied and in proceeding to purchase the Membership you will be deemed to have accepted these Terms. The Terms set out below apply to the services offered by The Tidy Tutor. Please read them carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under law and set out the Terms under which The Tidy Tutor (“we”, “our” or “us”) provide services to you, as the purchaser of the Membership. These Terms are subject to any rights you have under consumer law to which we are bound and which cannot be waived by contract. 

Please be aware that we may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Membership indicates your acceptance of the terms and agreement to any changes. Changes will be sent to you when/if they occur.

2. Membership Outline

The Tidy Tutor Inner Circle is a membership platform that offers instructional resources, workshops, and support for individuals seeking an organized and clutter-free life. Additionally, it provides a conducive environment for staying focused on course assignments and home projects until completion. Members can access instructional videos and participate in live co-working sessions, fostering a sense of community and preventing feelings of aloneness and overwhelm. 

The Membership is an ongoing commitment where you can get regular support and guidance. 

The Tidy Tutor Inner Circle is tailored to individuals who face challenges in staying organized, maintaining focus, and letting go of possessions. It is specifically designed for creative individuals who often shift from one project to another, are easily distracted, and struggle to complete tasks. The membership is also ideal for those with a generous nature, who find it difficult to say no despite the negative impact on their own needs. The program aims to help members achieve a clean and clutter-free home, organized spaces, and the ability to effortlessly schedule life’s appointments and commitments with joy. 

3. Eligibility 

This membership is designed for individuals who have experienced challenges with clutter and seek to lead organized lives. While I do welcome those who simply wish to become more organized, it is primarily oriented toward S.L.O.B.S. (Spontaneous, Lighthearted, Optimistic, and Beloved) individuals. Any non-SLOB participants in this program must agree not to judge. Kathy retains the right to remove anyone from the public forums or program if they are not aligned with the Tidy Tutor culture.

 Live Meetings

The live meetings will be led by Kathy Roberts or someone hand-picked and qualified to Coordinate and lead the meeting.  From time to time a guest speaker may be present.  

The weekly live meetings will take place on Zoom. 

During each weekly live session, the purchaser will receive dedicated and organized time set aside to fulfill commitments, take the recorded workshop, and feel supported by the group and Kathy.  

The information and guidance provided in this program will draw from Kathy’s extensive 30-plus-year experience as a reformed slob. She has not only practiced the system she teaches but has also been actively involved in teaching and coaching others on The Tidy Tutor system. This system has been adapted from the work of Pam Young and Peggy Jones, as outlined in the book “Sidetracked Home Executives.”

 

The live sessions will be recorded and made available inside the members’ area for as long as the Tidy Tutor Inner Circle Membership exists. Please note that these recordings are intended exclusively for members and should not be shared outside of the group.

The meetings will take place on Zoom Meetings, allowing members to be visible to others. However, it is entirely up to you whether you choose to have your video camera on during the sessions. You have the option to participate without being seen or heard if you prefer.

Additionally, Kathy reserves the right to use selected portions of our meetings for promotional purposes. Rest assured that any footage used will be carefully edited to ensure your anonymity is maintained.

5. Question & Answer Sessions

Each month, you will have the opportunity to ask questions related to the topics of living organized lives, homemaking, organizing, scheduling, and course subjects. It is important to ensure that your questions align with these topics. Every member will be given a chance to ask questions.

Questions are to be submitted on Mondays. You can do so either in response to the Monday email or on the designated Monday Q and A thread on Facebook. Kindly allow 24-48 hours to respond to your inquiries.

6. Self-Study

In addition to the group workshops and live online meetings, it is understood that members are required to watch the recorded monthly workshop lessons at their convenience. Failure to do so may restrict your ability to benefit from the valuable tips and guidance shared in the live sessions. Please note that all resources and training content will be provided in English, and translations are not available.

7. Private Facebook Group

You will be granted access to a private Facebook group to receive support during your Membership. The Facebook group is intended to foster a sense of community and connect you with individuals who are also in the process of decluttering and getting organized, facing similar challenges and stages.

From time to time, Kathy may post and offer support in the Facebook Group. However, please be aware that there is no guarantee of immediate responses to posts, private messages will not be responded to. For Kathy to provide the service at such a reasonable amount one-on-one help is offered as an extension of the group membership and you can request personal coaching should you wish therefore Facebook mailboxes may not be monitored regularly.

Please be advised that whilst we hope that you will be able to utilize the Facebook group, we make no guarantees as to the availability of the group and/or the content within the group at any time. Therefore, always ensure that you have backup copies of any information shared within the group.

Upon requesting to become a member of the group, you understand that answering the provided questions is a requirement. Failure to do so may result in your request being ignored. If your request is not approved, it is your responsibility to contact Kathy, as there may have been an oversight or an unintentional omission in your response.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Membership in The Tidy Tutor Inner Circle does not require a Facebook account. While the platform offers a private Facebook group for community support, it is not mandatory, and individuals can participate in the Inner Circle without using Facebook.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What happens if I can’t make a live session?

As far as possible, the live sessions will be held on Zoom. The video recording will be posted inside the member’s area within 24 hours of the live call. From time-to-time technology may fail and the recording may be unavailable or of poor visual or sound quality, but since 2011 this has happened only once.  We record all live sessions. For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no refunds available for any missed sessions.

  1. What if I need additional support?

Additional support can be offered to each member in the form of 1:1 support or guidance. We are happy to support you as required, please contact us directly, additional charges will apply.

  1. Is the Membership suitable for everyone? 

The Membership is primarily intended for individuals aged 18 and above who have encountered difficulties in maintaining an organized life and seek guidance in various areas, including organization, time management, reducing overwhelm, managing celebrations, scheduling, and letting go of excess possessions.
