What qualifications do I need to be a teacher on GlobalScholar?
While GlobalScholar teachers and tutors come from a wide variety of backgrounds, all must have completed a four-year degree. Some are teachers — whether full-time, substitute, or retired — and some are students in teaching degree programs. Other GlobalScholar teachers are tutors who work for themselves, for example, in a professional capacity or with tutoring companies. While teaching certification is not required to teach on GlobalScholar, most students prefer that their instructors have teacher training. For this reason, if you have such training, make sure you mention it in your teacher biography on GlobalScholar.com. In addition to the academic requirements, potential GlobalScholar teachers must pass a criminal background check. GlobalScholar stresses to its students and their parents that online instruction is safe, and this routine check promotes a professional educational environment.
