Safety and scope

Our safety rules

• Vetted teachers

  Every teacher has a conversation with us and has their identity and qualifications checked before their profile goes live.

• Checked for teaching children

  Teachers of children show a police record extract, renewed every six months. Without a valid check they can't be booked for children.

• No private messages to children

  The teacher can never message a minor directly. Messages about a child go through the parent's account and can be read by the admin.

• Closed lesson rooms

  Only enrolled students, and parents of enrolled minors, can enter a lesson room. It opens 10 minutes before and closes 15 minutes after the lesson.

• In-person lessons with children

  Only with a parent present or in a public place, such as a mosque. Never alone with a child in a private home.

• A parent nearby

  For one-to-one lessons with students under 12, we remind families that a parent should be present.

• No recording by default

  Lessons are not recorded. Recording happens only with the student's consent, and recordings are deleted after 30 days.

• As little data about children as possible

  We keep a first name, birth year, level and the teacher's notes. No photos, no school, no address.

• Concerns go to the admin

  Concern reports are read by the admin, never by the teacher.
