Choosing a tutor
Before any tutor profile becomes public on FutureTutor, it goes through a structured review process. Here's exactly what that involves — and what to look for yourself once you're comparing tutors.
Updated September 14, 2026
Every tutor completes their profile, required documents, training, and an assessment — and an administrator reviews all of it before the profile is approved and made public. This isn't a single checkbox: it's a multi-step process a tutor moves through before students or parents can find and book them.
This review confirms that a tutor completed their profile, training, and required document review, and that an administrator approved the result. FutureTutor does not claim background checks or guarantees beyond this process — it's worth being precise about what "vetted" actually means here, rather than assuming it covers more than it does.
Beyond the approval process, a tutor's public profile is itself useful evidence: their stated subjects and levels, their experience description, their availability, and how clearly they explain their own approach. A profile with specific, concrete details is generally more informative than one that's all enthusiasm and no substance.
A completed approval process is a real signal, not a substitute for deciding whether a specific tutor is the right fit for your child. The first session is often the clearest indicator — does the explanation style work, is the pace right, does your child feel comfortable asking questions.
