Real identity
A government-issued ID, confirmed against a live selfie. No anonymous profiles — every member is a real, named person.
Every member, professionally verified
Before anyone tutors a student or trains a model on Nortshere, we confirm who they are, what they're qualified in, and that they can actually teach. Here's how we do it — and why it matters.
Why we verify
Trust isn't a feature. It's the whole product.
When a parent books a tutor at 9pm, when a university routes its students to us, or when an AI lab feeds our judgments straight into a model millions will learn from, they're all extending the same thing: trust. Verification is how we earn it before any work begins — not after something goes wrong.
Most platforms verify lightly, if at all. We verify professionally: every educator, rater, and contributor proves who they are, what they know, and that they can teach — before their first session or task. No anonymous accounts, no unvetted "experts," no exceptions.
That rigor is also what makes our AI work valuable. A model is only as good as the people correcting it — and credentialed, verified educators produce feedback that anonymous, generalist crowdworkers simply can't.
- Protect every learner Real qualifications and safety screening stand behind every session — especially for minors.
- Guarantee real expertise Subject mastery and teaching ability are proven, not self-claimed.
- Stand up to compliance Identity and audit trails that satisfy institutions, procurement, and regulators.

What we verify
Six things we confirm about every member
Credentials & qualifications
Degrees, teaching certificates, and licenses validated against the issuing institutions and registries.
Subject-matter expertise
Subject-specific assessments confirm deep, current knowledge in every area a member is approved to teach or rate.
Teaching ability
Sample sessions and graded work, scored against our pedagogy rubric. Knowing a subject isn't the same as teaching it well.
Background & safety
Screening proportionate to the role and jurisdiction, including enhanced checks for anyone who works with minors.
Right to work & conduct
Work eligibility, a signed code of conduct, and an NDA covering every student and client interaction.
How it works
The verification journey, step by step
1
Apply & screen
We review each applicant's experience, qualifications, and references before anything else.
2
Confirm identity
A government ID plus a liveness check confirm the real person behind the application.
3
Validate credentials
We verify degrees and certifications directly with the issuers and official registries.
4
Assess skills
Subject tests and a sample session or work sample, scored by senior educators.
5
Background & agreements
Role-appropriate background screening, an NDA, and our code of conduct.
6
Onboard & monitor
Calibration, then continuous QA, learner ratings, and periodic re-verification.
What it means for you
