Frequently Asked Questions

Are the teachers qualified?

+

All the educators on our platform are certified teachers or early childhood educators in good standing with their professional regulatory college. This means they are highly trained, educated, and experienced with completed background checks. We do our best to validate our teachers but still urge parents to do their due diligence before hiring a teacher.

This can lead to more effective learning outcomes for the student.
