Tutors are solely responsible for lessons delivered, educational advice, conduct, communication, cancellations, pricing, tutoring quality, learning materials, and their own taxes, fees and agreements with students. Tutors must keep student information confidential and use it only for the lesson.

Profile information, professional status, rates and availability are supplied by the tutor. Rates shown are indicative rates set by the tutor. Tutors warrant that everything they publish is true and not misleading.

Verification indicates only that certain documents were reviewed. BrightPath Tutoring Trailblazers does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or ongoing validity of information supplied by tutors.

Trust Score™ and tiers are based on student feedback and platform activity. They are not an endorsement or a guarantee of quality.

Reviews reflect the opinions of users. BrightPath Tutoring Trailblazers is not responsible for the accuracy of review content and may hide or remove reviews that break its rules, with a logged reason. We never rewrite a review.

Suspended users keep access to data export and deletion.

10. Off-platform communication
