How do I make sure my tutoring hours will be verified?
The answer to this is simple. If you are honest to the best of your ability about the hours you are reporting, there won't be an issue.
Here are some general guidelines and best practices to ensure your hours are verified:
- Only use our Learn To Be Classrooms: Zoom and Google Meet.
- If there are technical issues and you need to use an external classroom, please email us at hello@learntobe.org within 1 week of the session.
- ALL sessions will be automatically recorded through our classrooms. DO NOT turn off the recording or that session will not be verified.
- Complete a feedback form for each of your sessions. While your session lengths will now be automatically captured by our system, you still need to submit your feedback forms to log any prep time or provide additional feedback about the session. This is also where you can leave comments about the session or the student's progress. Feedback forms are an important part of the system and will allow you to provide insights that are helpful to the team.
What Doesn't Count As Hours:
- Tutoring a friend or family member does not count as community service and will not be verified as service hours.
- Tutoring in-person is against our platform policies and will not be verified as hours.
- Prep time or any time that is not active tutoring will not be verified as service hours.
**Learn To Be verifies hours when tutors submit a request. If you would like us to check and make sure you are logging your hours correctly, feel free to email us at hello@learntobe.org.
