What is Tutor Insurance?
Tutor insurance is a specialized liability insurance policy package that is designed for private tutors offering protection against lawsuits stemming from alleged errors, bodily injuries, or property damages.
Whether you provide services on-site, online, or in an office, having the right insurance for your business is the basis of your risk management program.
What does it cover?
The most common policy types for tutor businesses are:
- Errors and Omissions Insurance, also known as Professional Liability Insurance, covers costs associated with allegations of negligence, misconduct, or failure to deliver a service as promised.
- Commercial General Liability Insurance, which covers costs associated with liability claims, such as client injuries or property damage.
- Cyber Liability Insurance, is critical for tutor professionals providing online services and storing client information. This policy provides financial protection against network security and privacy issues, such as a data breach.
