Oure Teachers are the heart of our platform and we want them to be in control as much as possible of who can book their Courses.
Therefore our Teachers can set their own audience requirements on their Courses as follows:
1. a required minimum English level,
2. a required Student level, and
3. a required gender
Any Student who does not meet any of these requirements, cannot book your Course.
Why is this so?
To avoid disappointment and to keep it fair.
Minimum English level
By default the minimum English level set on every Course is "Beginner" but you, the Teacher, can change it as you like. If the Student can't speak your native language and can't speak English at a level that you require for this Course, that would be a serious problem if we allowed that. We want to avoid this at all costs.
Student level
By default the Student level is set to "adult". If you want to teach under 18s (kids), you must upload a valid Certificate of Good Conduct (CGC) on your Teacher profile and have it approved by our team. Your CGC is kept private but the Student will see a check mark so they understand that we have approved your CGC. Your CGC must be issued within the last 6 months as of the current date.
Say you wanted to specifically teach Students of a particular Student Level e.g. Primary 6 because you want to teach them English in preparation for their English Secondary School Interview, that should be possible. When you set it to be this level, only Students who have set that level on their profile will be able to book your Course.
Gender
By default the gender for your Course is set to "any" but let's say that you only wanted to teach "female" Students, you'd then set it to "female any". Then Students who are males, cannot access or book your Course. And if you only wanted to teach people from the LGB community, you'd set it to LGB.

We strongly believe that no one should be forced to teach people of a particular gender, accept any English level or Student level. And conversely, no one should be forced to learn from a Teacher if they do not agree with them based on gender, language, degrees, expertise, ideologies, skills or abilities. We built this platform for it to be ethical and fair. And that's how it should be if we want you to have the happiest and best possible experience in learning, improving and growing.
