Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a licensed teacher in good standing who has completed a background check, and every profile is checked before it goes live. We still encourage parents to read profiles and ask questions before booking.
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.
Signing up is free, and you pay only for the lessons you book. Each certified teacher sets their own rate, starting at $30 per lesson virtual and $60 per lesson in person, so you can choose a teacher whose rate fits your budget.
Your availability for scheduling the tutoring dates are a criteria you set during the matching process. This ensures that the teachers you are matched with have availability during the schedule you have requested.
We discourage cancelling contracts unless necessary. Teachers must abide by their agreement to teach students. If there is a medical issue or any other issue that cannot be resolved, please go through the dispute resolution process so we can help you find a different educator. Please refer to our Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy.
Our system does not require your child's date of birth, however we do require this for parents and teachers.

There is no limit on how many lessons you can book or extend with your teacher. Your plan is built around your child. Your certified teacher creates a personalized one-on-one learning plan based on your child's goals, so how many lessons you book depends on what your child needs. Start with a free 15-minute assessment to get a personalized quote.
Reschedule in the app up to 48 hours before the lesson at no cost. Cancel more than 24 hours before the lesson and there is no charge; cancellations within 24 hours are charged 50% of the lesson rate, which goes to the teacher. Read the full Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy.
While we strive to match students with qualified tutors, we cannot guarantee that a tutor will be available to meet at a specific location, in-person preferences, or other specialized requirements. Availability is subject to the tutor's location, teaching capacity, and schedule. We encourage flexibility in choosing either online or in-person options to increase the chances of finding the best match.

Connect Education does not reimburse these costs. Connect Education is not an employer, we are a marketplace platform that connects certified teachers directly with families for private tutoring. As an independent professional, you are your own boss on the platform, and each teacher is responsible for covering their own professional requirements, including the vulnerable sector check. On our side, we cover the costs of maintaining the platform, marketing, and ensuring families have access to a trusted network of vetted educators. This model allows teachers to maintain independence while benefiting from the exposure and support that Connect Education provides.
