How are the tutors certified?
Tutors go through a rigorous training program varying from 2 weeks to a month and are required to pass various levels and types of assessments. The general certification routine involves assessing them on subject matter, teaching skills, technological awareness and effective pedagogy among other things.
In addition, some of the tutors will go through further rounds of training and assessment for English as a Second Language (ESL); e-tutoring etc.
Assessment is done through written tests and actual simulation of the teaching experience so that a 360 degree view of the teacher can be obtained. The bar is set very high and only the best are certified.
