3 Q: Can I grade the English of my Student?
A: If you are a native English speaker, you can update your Student's English level to the level you think they currently have. Doing so, is recorded on the Student's Profile revision log for the team to check in case a mistake was made. When the Student has a higher English level than they had previously set on their own profile, the Student will be quite happy because it opens more doors for them. The opposite, however, is a bit tricky. If you decide to downgrade their English level, please discuss this with the Student first. If the Student has a certificate which shows an English level congruent with their settings on their profile, please do not do this. If they can't prove it and you feel that having this incorrect English level on their profile is disadvantageous for the Student themselves and for other Teachers as well, then go ahead and change it.

2 Q: Why do you need to know my gender?
A:

Case Student:
Imagine you are the mother of an 8-year-old girl and you want your daughter to learn English but ONLY from a "female" native English teacher. That should be possible and so in order to make that possible, we have to ask you, the Teacher, for your biological gender.

Case Teacher:
Imagine you are a female Teacher and you only wanted to teach "women". That should be possible and so in order to make that possible, you can set a required gender on your Courses so that only people with that gender can see and buy your Course. This way, you can't be disappointed. We believe that is REAL value for both the Student and the Teacher.

Note: We do not explicitly show anyone's gender on the platform, it's only used through search filters.
