Designing the progression system was no easy feat. But it was necessary. Not because we wanted to make something different. But because it simply makes sense. At present, assessing a tutor has always been a tough task.
Presented with simple profiles with basic information made every tutor feel the same with minor differences. It quickly feels like a wait and see situation rather than an informed choice. Word-of-mouth fared slightly better, given a reference point gave more confidence but the lack of a large enough sample meant it was still a slight gamble.
Without a progression system, it also felt like the industry lacks appreciation and support for the countless educators helping the next generation achieve more. The perceived glass ceiling, the feeling of being lost when starting and the confusion on how to improve and get better rates are prevalent issues in the industry.
With a clear, fair and transparent system in place, it doesn’t just create a level playing field, it upgrades every aspect of the old and gives our kids a better shot at finding that one educator that could make a big difference in our lives, for those of us lucky enough to have met one.
Here’s to a brighter tomorrow. For all of us.
