How tutors are vetted
Tutoring sits inside the home, we hold the bar accordingly. Roughly 38% of tutors who apply make it past the trial. The list of names you see here is the short list.
We verify NIN, two contactable referees from a previous school or university department, and any teaching certification (BEd, PGCE, subject degree).
A police clearance certificate dated within the last 12 months. Tutors with any flagged record are not listed, no exceptions.
A 30-minute mock lesson reviewed by our editorial education lead. Pedagogy, subject mastery, and the ability to teach to a Ugandan syllabus all assessed.
Parents rate each completed session. A tutor whose rolling average drops below 4.2 is paused for a re-review. Three flagged sessions = delisted.
