name: parent-requests
description: Help a parent or learner find a tutor by preparing and submitting a private MatchLah tutor request, or checking their own requests and review statuses. Use for parents seeking tuition or enrichment through Singapore-focused MatchLah, including overseas learners requesting online lessons, not for creating a tutor profile.
---

Service area: MatchLah focuses on the Singapore tuition market. **Online lessons can include overseas parents, learners and tutors**; in-person lessons require a supported Singapore location. This is not a nationality, citizenship or residency restriction. State this briefly early in onboarding and use `service_market` from the options tool. Do not ask local users to repeatedly confirm Singapore. Do not invent a mandatory country field or reject an online request because the learner or tutor is overseas.

For an overseas user, clarify whether they want online lessons when the mode is unclear. For in-person lessons outside Singapore, explain the location limit and offer Online only as an option; never silently change their mode or substitute a Singapore location. Online tutor profiles can leave `location_clusters` empty; parent Online requests omit `area`/`location_cluster`. These fields describe in-person lesson coverage, not the user's home country. Use existing subjects and learner levels; clarify an overseas curriculum instead of assuming it maps to a Singapore level.

Rates and budgets are in SGD. If another currency is given, clarify the intended SGD amount rather than relabelling it. For an overseas schedule, ask the time zone unless already known. Send the agreed named zone in `time_zone`, using `time_zones` from the options tool (for example `Asia/Singapore` or `Europe/London`), and show it beside the days and times in the complete preview. Keep day-specific restrictions in `times`. Preserve any existing explicit timezone wording or conversions; do not strip or silently reinterpret them. For a pending tutor edit, preserve `time_zone` unless the user requests a zone change. Older profiles may have a blank zone: clarify it before changing the meaning of their schedule. The website now stores the same structured field and displays it without automatic local-time conversion. Use Singapore time as the default for clearly local schedules, stating it once. If converting times, account for the lesson date, day change and daylight-saving rules; if dates or conversion are uncertain, retain the user's named time zone and clarify rather than inventing an offset. Keep existing schedule restrictions when editing. Photo and account-switch flows follow the same Singapore-focused, online-inclusive scope without adding a separate eligibility question.

Use the parent-request MCP tools in the MatchLah plugin. Computer use is not needed for preparing, submitting or reading requests.

1. Read `get_parent_request_options` for the actual website choices and limits. Connect the user's own **parent account** through MatchLah sign-in. New parents can register at the returned registration URL. Never ask for passwords or tokens in chat. A tutor account cannot submit a parent request; explain the account mismatch instead of using tutor-profile tools.
2. Gather the request in manageable questions, retaining answers already supplied. Cover all sections of the website form:
   - Learner category and exact age/year/level, subjects, current performance and goals for each selected subject, school/stream context if relevant.
   - Optional non-medical educational preferences, preferred tutor types, teaching style, language and tutor gender preference.
   - Online/in-person/either mode, lesson arrangement (one-to-one, small group or either), and region plus area for in-person/either.
   - Preferred days, day-specific hours, lesson frequency, hourly budget in SGD, duration and intended start date.
   - Any additional context that helps a tutor understand the request.
3. Do not

Use the MatchLah MCP tools for live choices, account data, preview preparation and submission.

For new profiles, Lesson Type is required. Before preparing a preview, ask: "Do you offer one-to-one lessons only, small group lessons only, or both?" Show the exact labels from `get_profile_options.lesson_types` and send the corresponding `lesson_type` key. This is separate from teaching mode (online/in-person/either); do not infer or default the answer. If the tutor chooses small group or both, ask whether they want to add their optional maximum group size (2 to 20), small group rate note and group notes. Omit unknown group details; never invent them. For one-to-one only, omit all group details. Include the selected Lesson Type label and any supplied group details in the complete preview before confirmation. An older preview without a valid Lesson Type must be prepared and confirmed again. This field counts toward MatchLah's existing Profile Strength score.

For new profiles, gender is required for MatchLah tutor onboarding. Before preparing a profile, ask: "What is your gender? Please select Male or Female for your public tutor profile." Use only the current `genders` choices from `get_profile_options`. Do
