Teacher fit
A good tutor should explain exactly what they teach, where they have experience, and what they will not do.
- Curriculum experience
- Age/stage fit
- Subject boundaries
Parent checklist
Parent tutor hiring checklist
Use this checklist before paying for tutoring, especially if the student is anxious, close to exams, or sharing private learning materials.
Safety and operations
The platform should have a complaint path, refund/no-show policy, and clear material-sharing rules.
- Support route
- Safeguarding rules
- Clear cancellation policy
Practical checklist
Use this before you request a tutor.
What exactly has been verified?
Can the tutor explain the curriculum?
What happens if the lesson fails?
Where are files shared?
Is payment held until confirmation?
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.
