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.

How do I find the right teacher or ECE for me?

+

Create a profile with as much detail as possible. This makes it easier for teachers to learn about you and your needs and will ensure a better match. Use the filters to search for tutors that can provide what you're looking for.

Tutoring is expensive, how does pricing work?

+

We recognize that financial constraints can be a reality for many families. That's why we put you in control - you determine what you can afford, and we'll seamlessly connect you with qualified educators who fit your budgetary needs.

+

Our hope is that you will never have to cancel an agreement with your teacher, but if you have to, please refer to our Cancellations & Rescheduling Policy.

What if I want to reschedule?

+

With this amount of time, the tutor can work with the student to identify areas of weakness, develop a personalized learning plan, and provide ample opportunity for practice and feedback. This can lead to more effective learning outcomes for the student.
