FAQ | Educators.lv — Frequently Asked Questions
1 1. General Questions
Educators.lv is an online platform designed to connect people seeking knowledge with those willing to provide it. Here, learners can easily find educators (tutors), and educators can find potential learners.
Two types of users can register on the platform:
Learners — people looking for knowledge (learners themselves or their parents).
Educators — people providing knowledge (tutors, educational institutions).
Yes, registration is available for both individuals (private persons) and legal entities (educational organizations, companies, etc.).
To register, fill out a simple form providing:
Personal or organizational details;
Information about the knowledge or subjects you are interested in (for learners) or teach (for educators);
Contact information;
Location.
After email confirmation, registration is completed.
Verified educators are users who have passed an identity verification process by providing official documents. This status increases learners’ trust, ensuring that the educator is a real person.
Certified educators have not only verified their identity but also submitted documents confirming their education and qualifications (diplomas, certificates, courses). This status helps learners choose professionals with verified expertise.

2 2. Searching and Interaction
Use filters by subjects, knowledge level, lesson format, and location, as well as a map with postal codes. This helps quickly find the right specialist or learner near you.
Communication takes place in the built-in Educators-chat. Users can send an invitation to start a conversation and exchange messages and contact information — only after both parties have given their consent.
Through Educators-chat, parties discuss the format, price, time, and lesson duration. After agreement, the educator sends a lesson reservation invitation, which the learner must confirm. This locks the lesson in the system.
After the lesson, the educator sends a confirmation request. The learner confirms the lesson took place, and the lesson is marked as completed. This allows tracking and prevents unpaid or uncompleted lessons.
After lesson confirmation, both learner and educator can leave a rating and comment. Feedback helps improve service quality and builds user reputation on the platform.
The platform ensures transparency and safety through lesson confirmation, ratings, reviews, and the ability to contact support and resolve disputes.
3 3. Payment and Internal Currency
Payment for lessons is made directly between learner and educator outside the platform. Educators.lv does not participate in financial transactions between users.

You can earn currency by:
Confirmed completed lessons;
Leaving reviews and ratings;
Participating in platform promotions and events;
Inviting new users and other community-building actions.
EDUCATOR is used to pay for paid or additional platform services, get bonuses, and participate in special promotions.

4 4. Statuses and Confirmations
Regular educator (without validation);
Verified educator (identity verified);
Certified (Diplomated) educator (verified qualifications and diplomas).
The educator sends a lesson confirmation request, the learner confirms completion, after which the lesson is considered completed and opens opportunities for reviews and earning internal currency.
Reviews and ratings shape the educator’s reputation, help other users make informed choices, and affect the educator’s visibility in search results.

The platform complies with data protection standards, uses encryption, and does not share personal information with third parties without user consent.
