Tutor vetting, sessions, and payouts—education marketplaces that balance access with academic integrity.

Connect learners with proof—sessions, ratings, and integrity guardrails built in

We implement tutor onboarding with credential checks, subject certifications, and background screening partner hooks. Booking enforces institution rules—single sign-on, IP policies, and session recordings optional for honor-code programs. Escrow-style payouts release after session confirmation—disputes route to moderators with chat transcripts, not he-said she-said.
