Teaching and tutoring

Tutors, instructors, teaching aides and independent educators.

A record here is built from things like a lesson you delivered as agreed, confirmed by somebody other than the person who did it.

What gets recorded

Both directions. A record that only carries the good weeks is not a record, and the person it is about is told about every entry and can contest any of them.

Sessions delivered as agreed

Kept its word

The booked block of lessons or sessions was delivered on schedule.

Who confirms it
The student’s parent/guardian or the school/institutionCustomer or client
How they confirm
Confirmed by the parent or the institution via a confirmation link.
Due
the date the block of sessions was due to be completed by
Done
the date the last session was delivered

Tutoring program paid

Kept its word

A paid tutoring package or program was completed.

Who confirms it
The paying parent/guardian or institutionPayment or marketplace
How they confirm
Auto-verified when a third-party processor records the payer as someone other than the worker.
Due
the end of the program
Done
the settlement date the processor recorded

Parent / school reference confirmed

Kept its word

A parent or school confirmed the educator delivered reliably.

Who confirms it
The parent/guardian or school contactCustomer or client
How they confirm
Requested via a reference link they respond to.
Due
the end of the period being confirmed
Done
the date the reference was given

Booked sessions missed

Fell short

The educator did not deliver booked sessions without notice.

Who confirms it
The parent/guardian or institutionCustomer or client
How they confirm
Recorded against the booking; the worker can dispute.
Due
the booked session time
Done
Nothing was delivered, so there is no completion time to compare against.

Due and done are the pair that decide whether something counts as delivered on time rather than merely delivered. Send one without the other and the outcome can only ever read as finished.

Who counts as a witness here

2 kinds of third party confirm work in this trade. None of them outranks another. The formula does not read this at all. What varies is how hard each one is for either side to lean on, which is a fact worth knowing and not a weighting.

Customer or client
The party the work was done for, or who took delivery of it: a homeowner, a patient, a client, a consignee, a family. They know first hand whether it happened.
Payment or marketplace
A processor or marketplace that independently recorded a payer other than the worker. Money moving from a third party is evidence somebody else was involved. It is never, on its own, evidence that the work was good.

What is not recorded against the person

A session the student missed is not the educator’s outcome. It goes nowhere near their record, and neither does anything else on the shared list: a customer who did not attend, a job the business itself pulled, conditions nobody controls, notified time off, or an opinion about the person.

The full list is on the index, and it is the same list for every trade.

How a confirmed outcome reaches a score

A confirmed outcome becomes evidence in a published formula, version 5.6, with five weights and six bands running from Distinguished down to At Risk. An outcome nobody else confirmed is still recorded, and it shows on the record as a claim rather than as evidence. No plan and no payment moves a score.

The record belongs to the person, not to the business that recorded the work. They take it with them. The model is published in full, and what an employer records covers the recording side.
