Frequently asked questions
Can SubjectScout guarantee a tutor for every subject?
No. We review each request and only propose a tutor when the fit is credible. If supply is weak, operations should say that clearly.
Is payment automatic right now?
Not yet. During the early pilot, paid lessons can be coordinated manually before automated checkout is activated.
