Basic identity
We check the identity of every teacher before a profile can go public. Identity documents are private and never shown publicly.
Teacher verification
Not every signup becomes a public teacher profile.
Profiles are reviewed before publication so learners know public listings have passed a minimum operational check.
At least one academic credential
Teachers provide at least one academic credential as evidence, which our team reviews before approval.
Required agreements
Teachers must sign the required agreements before they can teach on SubjectScout.
Clear subject description
A profile has to describe clearly what the teacher actually teaches, so matches are realistic.
Bookable availability
A teacher needs availability that can really be booked, so a proposal can turn into a confirmed lesson.
Operational review before public listing
Our operations team reviews the complete application by hand, and only then is the profile published. There are no public profiles until this review is complete.
What verification does not guarantee
Identity and credential checks do not prove expertise in every topic or guarantee a grade. Matching a teacher to a particular module is separate from document verification. Teacher approval also does not mean that the teacher reviewed or approved question-bank content. Ask about the specific teaching scope and check age eligibility and safety before requesting a lesson.
For learners
What you can rely on.
Human-reviewed matches
A real person on our team reviews every proposed teacher before you see it.
Safeguarding checks
Approval also depends on the safeguarding checks that apply to the teacher's work.
No fabricated profiles
We never show fabricated names, ratings, or badges.
