Notes
Original study packs from verified tutors, checked by our team before they go on sale. This page also carries the ban list — what can never be sold here.
How it works
- 1
The tutor uploads an original pack
Only verified (Tier 2) tutors can upload. Every pack must be the tutor's own work or carry written permission.
- 2
Our team checks it
Staff review each pack against the rules below before it is listed. Anything on the ban list is rejected.
- 3
The parent pays MatchMax by FPS
The buyer pays MatchMax, not the tutor — the pack is released only after the payment clears.
- 4
Staff release the file to the buyer
The file is delivered inside the buyer's account, stamped with the order. The tutor never sees the buyer's phone number; the buyer never sees the tutor's.
- 5
The tutor is paid on the monthly run
MatchMax keeps 20%. The tutor's net is paid by FPS in the monthly payout run.
What tutors may sell
- Notes the tutor wrote themselves.
- Original worked examples and original mock questions.
- Marking checklists in the tutor's own words.
- An IA or EE exemplar only with the student's written permission, names removed, labelled “exemplar, not for submission”.
The ban list — never allowed
- ✗ School internal tests, mocks, or answer keys.
- ✗ Publisher worksheets or textbook pages.
- ✗ HKEAA DSE, TSA, HKCEE, or HKALE papers or marking schemes.
- ✗ IB past papers, markschemes, questionbanks, or the last two exam sessions.
- ✗ Another student's IA, EE, or TOK work without written permission.
- ✗ A file with a phone number, WhatsApp, Instagram, or QR code inside.
What happens on a violation
Staff reject banned uploads — the listing never goes live.
Repeat uploads close the tutor's notes privilege.
MatchMax may remove a pack and refund the buyer at any time.
Tutors: uploading means you accept the Notes Terms. The upload form cannot be submitted without accepting them.
