"Hours and Holidays
Typically the Tutor should expect to be available 8am-11pm, five days a week. The Tutor should expect that Friday and Saturday evenings will be spent with their charge. Obviously the tutoring will not be for 15 hours a day! But unless told specifically that she is not needed, the Tutor should remain close by so that tutoring could resume at short notice. Having said that, it is likely that the norm will be tutoring every morning between 8-10am, and two hours each afternoon. There should be plenty of time for preparation and planning during the prescribed hours. Evenings will usually be out at a restaurant, a concert or the theatre, or at social or business functions.
The Tutor will be entitled to two consecutive days off per week on average and should not expect these days to be at the usual weekend. There may be times when, due to travel considerations, the Tutor accumulates untaken 'weekend' days. If this happens the Tutor will either be given additional time off, or will be compensated by payment in lieu at the prevailing rate. Likewise, the Tutor will be entitled to nine (9) weeks off per annum at times convenient to both the Tutor and the Client.
Accommodation and Travel
The Client will provide suitable, safe, private, accommodation in all locations. In Geneva this will likely be a furnished apartment. In other locations it could be a hotel, short-term furnished let or apartment-hotel, berth on a yacht etc. The Client will be responsible for all expenses on these accommodations except for the Tutor's personal phone bills, or any personal expenses the Tutor incurs that are not work-related.
There will extensive travel involved in this position, which affords extra time for the Tutor and Client to converse or even to study, and means that the range for social or cultural opportunities is extended to these locations. When travel is involved the Tutor will usually accompany the Client. The Client will make all the travel arrangements but the Tutor may be asked to book seats at concerts or restaurants. The Tutor is also encouraged to suggest places that she and the Client could go, not only in terms of what is available that fits with the travel schedule, but also to places and events that she thinks might enhance the tutoring plans."
