on our platform and work together in a secure environment.
Trust
Quality, experienced tutors
We are dedicated to maintaining a global community of experienced tutors who persistently deliver quality tutoring sessions to students of all ages. Continuous training is provided to tutors through the onboarding process as well as live webinars.
Vetting process
Goals & expectations
Our tutors are always ready to discuss goals with students and parents, create a short-term or long-term study plan and set expectations. They embody TutorOcean’s flexible, personalized approach to private tutoring.
Adequate training
Our Customer Success team is dedicated to providing tutors with continuous support. The team checks in on tutors after their sessions to make sure that everything went smoothly and that tutors have the tools they need in order to communicate with students efficiently and effectively.
Transparent pricing
For all students that Tutors find on TutorOcean, the Tutors are paid in full on what they quote less a small fee that is deducted from the tutor’s rate to maintain the infrastructure of TutorOcean’s platform, students and parents pay what they see. Depending on certain cases or certain specific situations, some conditions apply.
Ratings & reviews
The quality and depth of a tutor’s experience are reflected in the reviews given by students and parents. Our Customer Success team strives to verify reviews in order to ensure the quality of tutoring sessions and the validity of the transaction.
Safety
Online sessions are recorded upon agreement between the student/parent and tutor and are available for download for all parties involved. This holds everyone accountable and is helpful when it comes to revision and preparing for the next session.
TutorOcean may review any sessions where a report has been made by any person using the platform for the purpose of investigating abuse.
