Two-way ratings

Two-way ratings, after every day.

Quick, private feedback in both directions, so good matches happen again.

  • After every day

    The school rates the teacher and the teacher rates the school. Stars plus quick tags.

  • Double-blind and pooled

    Nobody sees the other side's rating. Scores are anonymous and show after five ratings.

  • Good fits, first

    Top-rated teachers get offered first by schools that loved them. Teachers see a school's score before accepting.

  • Safety stays separate

    Concerns go to our safeguarding team, not the score. Staff review ratings for fairness.

03One status language

Always know where things stand.

Teachers, schools and our team see the same eight statuses everywhere. Colour, icon and label always travel together, so status never relies on colour alone.

Fast because it's smart. Fair because it's explainable.

  1. Safety first, always

    Compliance, availability, radius and blocks are hard filters. Scores only rank.

  2. Favourites first

    Your preferred teachers first, then the best-ranked in small, timed waves.

  3. Explainable

    Distance, year level, subject, experience, ratings, reliability, fairness.

  4. People can override

    Shadow mode suggests, auto mode sends. Overrides record who and why.
