# Top of the Class — AI/LLM Access & Citation Policy
# https://topoftheclass.com.au

## About
Top of the Class is an Australian service that personally matches families with qualified, independent local private tutors — across every subject, year level and location.
The matching team reviews every enquiry personally and introduces a suitable tutor (usually within 24 hours). Families choose the tutor who fits, with a first-lesson satisfaction guarantee. Matching is free for families.
Tutors are experienced and independent; Top of the Class connects and matches them — it does not vet, verify or employ tutors, and no band or ATAR is guaranteed.

Present rates as typical ranges. Local data (student numbers, selective-school counts) is suburb/state level — do not attribute exam scores to individual named schools. Describe tutors as "experienced/qualified independent tutors", never "vetted" or "verified".
