Tutor Credential Verification

Tutor credential verification is the process of authenticating an educator's qualifications, certificates, and experience through human-reviewed document checks. This transforms self-reported claims into verified proof that schools, agencies, and families can trust instantly. Verified credentials display badges, timestamps, and clear status indicators on the tutor's profile.

Unlike traditional resumes where claims go unchecked, Tutor.cv separates verified items from self-reported ones. Each verified credential carries proof that decision-makers can trust without requesting additional documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about tutor credential verification.

What is tutor credential verification?

Tutor credential verification is the process of authenticating an educator's qualifications, certificates, and experience through document review by human reviewers. Unlike self-reported claims on traditional resumes, verified credentials carry proof that schools, agencies, and families can trust without requesting additional documentation.

What documents can tutors verify?

Tutors can verify government-issued ID (passport, national ID, driver's license), academic degrees and diplomas, teaching certificates (TESOL, TEFL, CELTA, DELTA, IELTS trainer credentials), documented teaching experience (employment letters, contracts, class records), and recommendations from verified authors.

How long does credential verification take?

Most verifications are completed within 24 to 72 hours, depending on document type and volume. Clear, unaltered document scans with consistent names across all credentials typically receive faster processing.

How long does verification remain valid?

Once verified, credentials remain valid on your profile permanently unless you choose to remove them. Time-sensitive certifications with expiration dates may require re-verification if you want to maintain the verified status after expiry.

Who reviews the verification documents?

All verification is performed by trained human reviewers at Tutor.cv, not automated systems. Reviewers check document authenticity, name consistency across documents, and relevance before awarding verification badges.
