Tip: use the same legal name on every document. It's the fastest way to approval.
One rule to know: don't tutor students you currently teach at school.
Every educator is checked before they meet a student. Here's what we ask for, why we ask, and what families can and can't see.
Parents never see your ID, email or home address. They see your photo, bio, certification, subjects and availability. For in-person lessons they see a general area, never your address.
Upload your ID through the platform only. We don't accept documents by email.

Prince Edward Island has no college of teachers. The Registrar of Teacher Certification, in the Department of Education and Early Years, issues teacher's licenses. A licensed PEI teacher meets these four requirements.

In person means at the student's home or at a public library. If you're not comfortable going to a family's home, you can choose the library. You decide how far you'll drive across the Island, and online lessons fill in the rest.

Online, yes. For in-person sessions, you choose the communities you'll travel to and can change them any time.
No. Many teachers tutor online only, or meet families at a library branch they can reach by transit. You choose the areas you'll travel to, so you only get requests that work for you.
