Code of Conduct

Teachers1on1 is an open community of students (ages 3 & up), parents, and teachers. Our platform allows qualified teachers to provide quality education from anywhere in the US. These tutoring sessions are offered by independent teachers, who determine the content and format of their own classes. In order to ensure that students receive the best supplemental education possible, it is critical that Teachers1on1 is a safe space for our users. All users of our platform should treat each other without bias or prejudice across all pillars of diversity including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, and gender identity. All users of Teachers1on1 platforms and services must abide by this Code of Conduct and are subject to Teacher1on1's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. This Code of Conduct includes some guidelines that we ask our members to observe. Teachers1on1 members who do not meet or abide by these guidelines will be removed from the site, which can be done by Teachers1on1 without warning and at our sole discretion.

Class content policy

Teachers1on1 classes should be objective, secular, and age-appropriate

Teachers1on1 sessions should be unbiased, inclusive of all students, and intentionally designed to represent diverse viewpoints fairly and accurately. This ensures that all educators, students, and families feel welcome on our platform and can expect a positive experience in their Teachers1on1 classroom. We've detailed our policies for class content below, and teachers should observe these guidelines when designing class curricula and submitting listings for approval.

Teachers1on1 classes should be secular. Two topic areas where this is particularly relevant are:

  • Religion: Do not promote a specific religion or religious point of view, or share your personal religious beliefs with your students. When teaching a class where it is necessary to address religion, such as a history or culture class, take an unbiased, objective approach. At times, it may be beneficial to present an opposing viewpoint. Please use your discretion
  • Holidays with Religious Origins: Some holidays are rooted in a certain religion, which will require teachers to address that specific religion. Please be sure to make factual and objective statements that in no way promote religion.  If you are doing any exercises that contain songs or activities, they should be of a secular nature. Again, please take a neutral standpoint and do not disclose your own personal religion or viewpoint

Teachers1on1 classes should be inclusive. To achieve this, consider how you will:

  • Be Inclusive of Gender & Sexual Identity: Ensure students of all genders and sexual identities are welcome in your classroom. Do not use exclusionary language, such as "For Girls Only," in your listings. Please be mindful of different gender identities and be careful not to misgender or use pronouns that the student is not comfortable with you using
  • Be Inclusive of Different Cultures: Students and Teachers on our Platform come from diverse backgrounds. Please be respectful of the myriad cultures that users on the platform represent
  • Be Inclusive of Different Socioeconomic Backgrounds: Our mission is to provide equitable access to education for students of all walks of life. Please note that we will have students that access our platform from various avenues (e.g. after-school programs, scholarships, juvenile and correctional facilities). Be mindful of this when creating lessons for students to ensure we are setting them up for success
