Child protection is a matter that should be central to the conduct of all Mathsathome.com tutors. Amongst other things, tutors should apply the following standards:

Tutoring should always be conducted in rooms where there are windows, so that a person outside the room can see into the room, or the door should be open so that the tutoring can be viewed and heard. Furthermore, no child should be disciplined by a tutor in a room with a closed door.
Tutoring must only take place in a public part of the home with a parent or responsible adult present. Tutoring must never take place in a child’s bedroom. By entering each tutoring session, the Parent/Guardian agrees that the tutoring session will take place in a public part of the home with a responsible adult present in the nearby vicinity. This responsible adult will be present at the beginning and end of each tutoring session and remain within hearing range throughout the entirety of the session.
