Government-issued photo ID

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.

Your ID and your privacy

Why we ask for your government ID

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.

What we check, and why

✓
Your ID confirms you're the teacher named on your certificate.
✓
We work with children, so every tutor is verified before a first lesson.
✓
Verification also prevents fraud and keeps your payments secure.

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.

Certification

What it means to be a certified teacher in Quebec

Quebec has no college or professional order for teachers. The provincial education ministry issues teaching licenses under the Regulation respecting teaching licences. A licensed teacher meets these four requirements.

Education

A degree and teacher education

A four-year Bachelor of Education, or a qualifying master's in education if you already hold a degree in a school subject. Your university recommends you to the ministry.

Official source
Safety

A background check

You sign a Declaration Concerning a Judicial Record with every new license or renewal, and report any change within 10 days. To tutor with Connect Education, you also need a police check that includes a vulnerable sector check.

Official source
Also required

Language exam

You pass the recognized language exam, the TECFÉE in French or the EETC in English, before you can hold a teaching license (a provisional license is the exception).

Official source
Good standing

A permanent diploma

The teaching diploma (brevet d'enseignement) is a permanent license, with no yearly renewal. Temporary licenses, such as the provisional license, lead to it. Retired from the classroom? You can still apply with a valid police check that includes a vulnerable sector check.

Official source

Also welcome to apply

Supply teachers, registered ECEs and retired teachers tutor with us too. Here's what each needs.

Supply teachers

Occasional and long-term occasional teachers apply with the same certificate in good standing. Tutoring fits around the days you're called in.

Registered ECEs

Early childhood educators registered with their provincial ECE regulator, in good standing, are welcome, especially for early learning.

Retired teachers

Retired and no longer renewing your membership? You can still apply with a valid police check that includes a vulnerable sector check.

What Quebec families ask for

French Immersion

Most requested

Quebec's public system runs in two languages: French-language school service centres, and nine English-language school boards. Families on both sides reach out, often with these needs:

  • French support for children who speak another language at home, from early reading to Secondary V French.
  • Practice for the Secondary IV ministerial exams, such as mathematics, science and History of Québec and Canada.
  • English and French as a second language, depending on which school system the child attends.
  • Students with learning difficulties or a diagnosis such as ADHD or dyslexia, whose parents want someone with classroom experience.

Where lessons happen

Where you'd tutor in Quebec

At a student's home or a library

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 travel, whether that's across Montréal or around your own town.

In Montréal alone, the city's library network has libraries in all 19 boroughs. Rules for group study spaces differ between libraries, so check before you book a session.

Questions teachers ask

How much can I charge, and what does it cost to join?

You set your own rate. Joining is free. When you teach, a platform service fee of 25% of each session rate comes out of the amount charged, and it covers the platform, payments and admin, so you never chase an invoice.

Can I tutor in English, French or both?

Any of the three. List the languages you teach in your profile, along with your subjects and grades. Families in French-language and English-language schools can then find you.

Can I help students prepare for ministerial exams?

Yes, if you've taught those courses. Add the Secondary IV and V subjects you know well to your profile. Many parents look for exam practice in the spring.

Do I need a car to tutor in person?

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.

Can I tutor students from my own school?

Don't tutor your current students for pay. Your school service centre or school board may also have rules about outside work, so check them first.

How long does approval take?

Most of the wait is the document check. Clear, current documents with the same legal name on each are the fastest route, and we'll let you know by email.
