This Teacher Policy applies to you if you provide (or intend to provide) Teacher Services or Classes on LEARN Anytime Anywhere. You are required to read this Teacher Policy carefully and agree to it, as it contains the policies and terms you must adhere to use LEARN Anytime Anywhere to provide your services. Unless defined under this Teacher Policy, any capitalised term will have the meanings provided to them under our general Terms and Conditions.
If you do not agree to this Teacher Policy, you do not have our permission to provide Teacher Services or sell Classes on the Site. Likewise, we are not obligated to provide you with any benefits for the Classes you sell through the Site.
We reserve the right to update this Teacher Policy from time to time. Updates to this Teacher Policy will be posted on this page, and such updates will take effect immediately it is posted. We may or may not notify you of any updates to this Teacher Policy. If we decide to notify you of any updates to this Teacher Policy, such notification will be given via your Teacher Account associated email address. Nevertheless, you are required to review this Teacher Policy from time-to-time to be updated about any changes to it. By your continued use of the Site to sell Classes or provide Teacher Services after any updates to this Teacher Policy, you warrant to us that you have agreed to such update.
This Teacher Policy is designed to encourage the highest standards of Teacher behaviour in their relationships with Students by setting clear expectations, and to provide the principles to guide Teachers in their daily conduct when providing Teacher Services and interacting with Students. However, our Teachers come from all over the world and are thus accustomed to a variety of different cultural norms. As a result, this Teacher Policy attempts to adopt universally accepted standards of respect and tolerance. This Teacher Policy does not attempt to address every potential situation that could arise when Teachers interact with Students on the Site. Instead, it provides principles for ethical and professional behaviour that can serve as guidance regarding LEARN Anytime Anywhere expectations.
1.1 Teacher Registration
In order to provide Teacher Services or sell Classes as a teacher ("Teacher") on LEARN Anytime Anywhere, you must first submit a complete application together with a copy of your passport or other official identification card issued by the applicable government authorities of your location and an address proof within 3 months through the Site ("Teacher Application"). Your completed Teacher Application will be evaluated by LEARN Anytime Anywhere for approval. If your Teacher Application is approved, your user status will be changed to "Teacher", and you will have the ability to create and manage “Teacher’s Dashboard” on LEARN Anytime Anywhere. Then, you can begin providing Teacher Services, including offering and providing "Class/es" to “Students”.
There is an option for you to provide LEARN Anytime Anywhere background check reports from public records or through third-party vendors such as criminal convictions or sex offender registrations. This will serve as a bonus for Parents to enrol their children in your Class. You can upload such documents on your “Teacher’s Dashboard / Manage Profile / Badges” section.
1.2 Teacher Services Description
As a Teacher, you must create a description of your Teacher Services when submitting your Teacher Application. When creating the description of your Teaching Services, you agree to:
i. Write a specific, detailed service description with clear teaching scope;
ii. Set expectations that you can meet;
iii. Stay away from description that is misleading or list services that are different from what the Students will get when you provide Teacher Services to them;
iv. Offer any Teacher Services in exchange for positive feedback or at no cost;
v. Refrain from advertising any third-party teaching services, website, application, software, platform or media; and
vi. Exclude any personal contact information, including without limitation, your phone number, email address, mail box, home address, social media page or any contact information which a Parent/Student or third party can use to contact you outside LEARN Anytime Anywhere.

iii. Maintain a record of all important details of the communication between you and the Parent/Student. For the avoidance of doubt, all communication regarding your use of LEARN Anytime Anywhere must be via the Site, and important details generally include information related to the scope of your Teacher Services.
2.2 Class Policy
You are required to comply with the below class policies when providing a Class through LEARN Anytime Anywhere:
i. Commit to your Class schedule: A confirmed Class is a commitment you make with a Parent/Student. You may only reschedule or cancel as a last resort and only after you have given prior notice to the Parent/Student.
ii. Keep records: You are expected to keep records of all important communications that occurred between you and the Parents/Students. If there is a dispute between you or any Parent/Student, the communication between you and the Student/Parent will be relied upon by LEARN Anytime Anywhere to settle such dispute.
iii. Provide a Class on time: You are required to commence a Class at the scheduled time, as communicated through the Site.
iv. Waiting for a late Student: If a Student is late for a Class, you do not have to wait for the Student if there are other Students already in the class. However, should the late Student be the only Student enrolled in that Class, you should be available to start the Class at any time during the scheduled period for the Class. However, you are under no obligation to make up for any lost time or teach beyond the scheduled time due to the Student's late arrival.
v. End Class on time: You should politely let your Students know that their Classes are ending by reminding them before the end of the Class period. You may politely tell the Student that you need to prepare for an upcoming Class with another/other Student/Students.
vi. Rescheduling a Class due to a Student’s absence: If a Student fails to attend a Class and requests to reschedule the class, you may accept or reject at your discretion. You are not under any obligation to agree to the rescheduling request. You may refer to our Teacher's Guide for how to move a Student to another Class. For more information regarding this section, please, review our Code of Conduct and Class Policy document.
2.3 Cancellation and Rescheduling
If you are unable to provide your Teacher Services or a Class at the time previously agreed between you and any Parents/Students, you agree to: (i) immediately inform the Parent/Student that you are unable to provide your Teacher Services or the Class at the scheduled time, including providing reasonable explanation why you will be unable to provide your Teacher Services or the Class at the scheduled time; and (ii) immediately inform LEARN Anytime Anywhere customer service. If you were unable to inform the Parent/Student in advance due to an emergency, you are required to give an explanation to the Parent/Student as soon as you are able to do so.
After obtaining the consent from the Parent/Student, then, you may cancel or reschedule any scheduled Teacher Service or Class at any time that is more than 24 hours before such Teacher Service or Class is scheduled to start. Cancelling or rescheduling a Teacher Service or Class must be handled through the Site, and by following the processes laid out in our Teacher's Guide.
Except in the rare case of true emergencies, no Teacher Service or Class may be cancelled or rescheduled by a Teacher or Student within 24 hours of the start time for such Teacher Service.

iii. Religious affiliations: For example, do not ask a Student if he/she believes in God or identifies with a particular religious group.
3.2 Be Patient and Polite
Since Students come from different backgrounds and have different language abilities, it is important to be patient and polite. Help them through their language learning difficulties. Be encouraging, not discouraging.
i. Do not berate, yell at or insult a Student because of his/her inability to understand any topic qyickly. Do not tell a Student he/she is dumb or insult their current level of language ability.
