Guarding Against Fraud and Scams

  • Be Skeptical of Unsolicited Requests: Avoid responding to unsolicited messages or requests for personal information. Legitimate communication will always happen within the TutorsFlex platform.
  • Verify Identity: Before engaging in tutoring sessions, verify the identity of the user you are interacting with. Ensure that their profile information aligns with the details shared during communication.


Protecting Your Privacy


  • Secure Communication: Utilize TutorsFlex's messaging system for all communications. Avoid sharing personal contact details, such as phone numbers or email addresses, within the initial stages of interaction.
  • Privacy Settings: Familiarize yourself with the privacy settings on your TutorsFlex account. Adjust them according to your comfort level to control the visibility of your personal information.
  • Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter any suspicious behavior or requests, report it to TutorsFlex's support team immediately. We take privacy concerns seriously and will investigate any reported issues promptly.


Home Tutoring Safety


  • Meet in Safe Locations: If you choose local, in-person tutoring, meet in public places or choose secure environments. Avoid private residences for the first meeting.
  • Inform Others: Let someone know about your tutoring arrangements. Share details of the meeting location, time, and the identity of the tutor or learner you are meeting.
  • Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off or uncomfortable during a tutoring session, trust your instincts. Report any concerns to TutorsFlex's support team.


Building Trust with Strangers


  • Read Profiles Thoroughly: Whether you are a tutor or learner, carefully read profiles, reviews, and ratings. This information provides insights into the individual's background and expertise.
  • Communicate Clearly: Establish clear expectations with your tutor or learner from the beginning. Discuss learning goals, session durations, and any specific requirements to avoid misunderstandings.
  • TutorsFlex Support Assistance: If you ever encounter trust issues or feel uncomfortable during a session, reach out to TutorsFlex's support team. We are here to help mediate and resolve concerns.
