If you want to offer Teaching Services on LanguageCrush (as defined herein), you must read and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions for Teachers ("Teacher Terms") which are part of and incorporated into the LanguageCrush Terms of Service and Payment Terms of Service (collectively, the "Terms"). These Teacher Terms will apply to any Member that is approved to be a Teacher on the Site (as those words are defined in the Terms). If you do not accept these Teacher Terms in full, you are not authorized to teach on the Site and you are not eligible to receive any compensation from LanguageCrush for any Teaching Services you provide.

1. Teacher Registration and Service Listing

Approval for Teaching Services
In order to become a "Teacher", you must first submit a complete “Teacher Application”. Completed Teacher Applications are evaluated by LanguageCrush for approval. If your Teacher Application is approved, your Member status will be changed to a "Teacher." You will have the ability to create and manage a “Teacher Profile” on our Site. As a Teacher, you can begin providing "Teaching Services".

Teaching Services Description
In order to provide lessons, Teachers must create a description of their Teaching Services on LanguageCrush. When creating the description of your Teaching Services, you agree to the following guidelines:
  • Write a specific, detailed service description with clear scope, deliverables and lessons.
  • Set expectations that you can meet or exceed.
  • Do not create services that are made with the intent to commit fraud, or provide services other than the ones outlined in the description. This includes offering your Services in exchange for positive feedback or for no cost.

2. Providing Teaching Services

Guidelines for providing your Teaching Services
Once you have received a Teaching Services request, you agree to the following guidelines:

  • Use the LanguageCrush platform to manage Student requests.
  • Respond promptly, within one business day, to all lesson-related communication, whether from the Student or from LanguageCrush.
  • Maintain a record of all communication between you and the Student. Communication methods can include outside emails, instant messages, telephone or in-person conversations. Important details includes information on the scope, deliverables, time frames, price, feedback, revisions, schedule changes, vacation, availability, delays, acceptance of deliverables, and completion of lessons.
  • Inform the Student of your availability and response time.

Guidelines if you will be unable to provide your Teaching Service
  • Immediately inform the Student offering an explanation and proposing a revised date.

Guidelines for after you have provided your Teaching Service
  • Use the LanguageCrush Payment Service to handle all financial matters related to your Teaching Service.
  • Provide helpful, objective, balanced feedback for the Student.

Student Complaints and Refunds
Any Student who is dissatisfied with your Teaching Service is required to contact you directly through the Site or Application regarding any issues or complaints. You should try to resolve any issue or complaint directly with the Student first.

If the issue or complaint cannot be resolved, between the Teacher and the Student, LanguageCrush will use all records of communication as evidence to make a determination on how to adjudicate the dispute. LanguageCrush shall have the right, in our sole discretion:

  • To transfer funds, offer a refund, or reverse a transaction.
  • To designate who shall bear the expenses resulting from any such actions.

Additional Guidelines for Teaching Services

  • Agree to maintain the privacy of LanguageCrush Students. This includes not soliciting any personally identifiable information (such as birth date, age, government issued number, phone number, or home address).
  • Agree to maintain the privacy of your personal details. This includes personal financial information regarding your Teacher Wallet.
  • Agree to maintain personal records for all invoices and payments.
  • Agree to cooperate with LanguageCrush in anti-fraud actions, and in Dispute Resolution.
  • Report any conduct violations, including misuse of ratings and feedback.
  • Not use Prohibited Content, or content that violates copyright.
