Trust & safety
Safeguarding and trust
Learner safety comes before growth. These are the standards every tutor and customer agrees to.
Tutor verification
- Email verification for every account
- Identity document review before a profile is approved
- Qualification and experience evidence recorded on the profile
- Enhanced DBS certificate expected for UK face-to-face tutoring of under-18s
- International tutors verified with government-issued ID and, where available, local police or criminal record checks
Verification status is shown on tutor profiles. Verification is not a guarantee; customers should always carry out their own checks and interview a tutor before lessons begin.
Under-18 learners
- A parent or guardian must create the request and be the point of contact
- For face-to-face lessons we recommend a responsible adult remains in the property
- For online lessons we recommend lessons take place in a shared family space
- Recording a lesson requires the informed consent of the parent or guardian
Safer online lessons
- Use a mainstream video platform such as Zoom, Teams or Google Meet
- Keep communication on business channels and avoid private social media contact with minors
- Cameras on, appropriate dress and a neutral background
Data protection
Customer names, email addresses, telephone numbers and exact addresses are never displayed publicly. They are released only to a tutor who has unlocked that specific request, and unlocked details must be used solely to discuss that tutoring enquiry. See our privacy policy.
Prohibited conduct
- Sharing or reselling unlocked customer contact details
- Contacting a customer about anything other than the tutoring enquiry
- Misrepresenting qualifications, identity or DBS status
- Any behaviour that puts a learner at risk
Breaches lead to immediate suspension and, where appropriate, referral to the authorities.
Reporting a concern
Report any concern to support@thesajtutorconnect.cloud or through our contact form. If a child is at immediate risk, contact the police on 999 (UK) or your local emergency service first.
Our role
THE SAJ TUTOR CONNECT is a marketplace that introduces customers to independent tutors. We do not employ, supervise or supply tutors and we are not a tutoring agency.
