Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to examine the role of loyalty program in moderating the effect of satisfaction on the positive word of mouth. However, in this context, it needs to be proved in advance how the service quality and tuition fee affect the satisfaction and word of mouth.

The results showed that service quality has positive effects on satisfaction and word of mouth, as well as the tuition fees, has positive effects on satisfaction and word of mouth. While the effect of satisfaction in shaping positive attitudes towards word of mouth was still not consistent. The phenomenon of such relationship is likely to happen due to the satisfaction can change instantly if there is a change to the situation.
