How It Works
How It Works
Our Lipa Pole Pole Process
01. Register, Then Choose Lipa Pole Pole
Select it directly during registration, or ask your teacher or our support team to switch you over at any point after.
02. See Your Fixed Total Upfront
The full amount, premium included, is shown before you commit. No surprises added partway through the term.
03. Pay In Smaller Amounts
Daily, weekly, or monthly, whichever actually matches how your income arrives. Same total either way.
How The Rate Works, By Programme.
Most Tutor Republic programmes run on the standard 12% premium. There’s one named exception, and we’d rather state it plainly than bury it:
| Programme | Lipa Pole Pole Rate |
|---|---|
| Grade School Tutoring | 12% |
| KCSE Academy, Per-Subject & Term Pass | 12% |
| KCSE Academy, Last Chance | 27.5% |
| Heritage Swahili Academy | 12% |
| Skills Academy | 12% |
Last Chance runs at a different rate because it carries a longer credit period, adults repaying across a full term take on more risk than a standard school-term plan, and we’d rather be upfront about why the number is different than smooth it into one misleading average.
A Real Example.
KCSE Academy’s Term Pass costs KES 18,000 for the term, paid in full. On Lipa Pole Pole, that becomes KES 20,160, the same coverage, spread into smaller amounts across the term instead of one payment.
Frequently Asked Questions.
How does Lipa Pole Pole actually work?
You pay in smaller daily, weekly, or monthly amounts instead of one lump sum, at a fixed premium added to the term price, 12% for most programmes, 27.5% for KCSE Academy’s Last Chance track. The total is fixed upfront.
Which programmes offer it?
All of them. Grade School Tutoring, every track of KCSE Academy, Heritage Swahili Academy, and Skills Academy.
Can I switch to Lipa Pole Pole after I've already registered?
Yes, talk to your teacher or our support team and we’ll switch your payment plan going forward.
Why is Last Chance priced differently?
It’s a longer credit period than the standard school-term plans, adults repaying across a full term carry more risk than a shorter cycle, so the rate reflects that honestly rather than averaging it away.
