Know who you're learning from.

An ARLTS score reflects what a teacher has reported. Where you see an Evidence submitted badge, it means ARLTS received documents — not that we authenticated them. Ask to see original certificates at or before your first meeting. A confident, qualified teacher will not hesitate.

Before committing to a package or long-term arrangement, take one lesson first. Teaching style, communication, and lesson structure vary widely — a score tells you about qualifications, not chemistry. Use a trial lesson if one is offered.

For in-person lessons, meet in public first — a café, library, or coworking space. A short initial meeting in a neutral space is reasonable to request and professional teachers will understand why.

Confirm the fee, lesson length, cancellation policy, and format in writing — even a WhatsApp message — before the first paid lesson. Ambiguity about money is the most common source of disputes.

Pay for individual lessons or small packages until you have established trust. Prepaying for a semester of lessons with someone you have never met is a financial risk ARLTS cannot protect you from.

State your cancellation policy, rescheduling terms, and payment expectations before the first lesson — not after a dispute arises. A short written summary sent before the first session protects you and signals professionalism.

Use a dedicated channel for student enquiries rather than your personal number where possible. This creates a boundary, helps you manage multiple students, and keeps a record of all communications.

If a student requests a lesson at their home, consider meeting in a public space first. This is standard professional practice and protects you against misunderstandings about the nature of the arrangement.

Your ARLTS profile is a public document. Listing a qualification you do not hold — even informally, even partially — is grounds for removal and may have wider professional consequences.

Employers searching ARLTS are looking at your score, certification, degree, and format availability — the same information students see. Make sure every field is accurate and up to date. An employer may contact you based on your profile before they ever see a traditional CV.

Corporate and institutional roles often involve group classes, fixed schedules, reporting requirements, or curriculum constraints. Clarify these before agreeing to anything. A language center position is not the same as private tutoring — make sure the arrangement fits your working style.

Whether it is a freelance contract or a salaried role, confirm compensation, hours, notice period, and any exclusivity clauses in writing before you start. ARLTS cannot assist with employment disputes — protect yourself before the engagement begins.

An ARLTS score reflects academic credentials — degree level, teaching certification, proficiency score, and years of experience. It does not measure classroom performance, cultural fit, or ability to work with specific student types. Use it to create a shortlist, then conduct your own interview and trial session.

ARLTS does not authenticate qualifications. For hiring purposes, request original certificates and verify directly with the issuing institution where the role requires it. The Evidence submitted badge means documents were received by ARLTS — it is not an authentication.

When you contact a teacher, state the role clearly — group or individual, fixed or flexible schedule, student age range, curriculum requirements, compensation structure. Vague enquiries waste time for both parties and reduce the chance of a good match.

Whether freelance or employed, confirm pay rate, hours, cancellation terms, and any exclusivity clause in a written agreement before the engagement starts. ARLTS does not mediate employer-teacher disputes.
