How CTN works

Two journeys, one protected path between them.

Parents post what they need and pay into escrow. Tutors pass vetting and get matched. CTN sits in the middle so both sides can trust the other.

The parent journey

From request to first lesson

  1. 01

    Post a request

    Tell us the subject, the level, your neighbourhood and your monthly budget. It is free, and it takes a couple of minutes.

  2. 02

    Review your shortlist

    Our team reviews your request and prepares a shortlist of vetted tutors who cover your area, each with a rating and experience.

  3. 03

    Message and choose

    Chat with tutors on the platform, ask questions, and pick the one who fits your child. Every message stays on CTN.

  4. 04

    Pay into escrow

    Fund the lessons through CTN. Your money is held securely and is never released before a lesson happens.

  5. 05

    Confirm and release

    After each lesson, confirm it took place and the payment is released to the tutor. Something wrong? Raise a dispute instead.

The tutor journey

From application to payout

  1. 01

    Apply to teach

    Create your profile with the subjects and levels you teach, the neighbourhoods you cover, and your experience.

  2. 02

    Pass vetting

    Submit your national ID and qualifications. Our team reviews them before you can be matched. No shortcuts.

  3. 03

    Find open requests

    Browse published requests in your subjects and neighbourhoods, and apply to the ones that suit your schedule.

  4. 04

    Get selected

    When a parent picks you, the payment is already secured in escrow. You know you will be paid before you teach.

  5. 05

    Teach and grow

    Deliver the lesson, get it confirmed, and collect your payout. Strong reviews lift your rating and win the next family.

Teach with CTN
Escrow, in plain terms

The money moves only when the lesson does.

Escrow means a trusted third party holds the payment until both sides have done their part. On CTN, that third party is us. Parents are protected from paying for lessons that never happen, and tutors are protected from teaching without getting paid.

More on how we keep payments safe
  1. Collected

    The parent pays into CTN when a match is made. Funds are held, not sent to the tutor.

  2. Held

    The money stays in escrow while lessons are scheduled and delivered.

  3. Released

    Once a lesson is confirmed, the tutor is paid and CTN takes its platform fee.

  4. Refunded

    If a lesson does not happen or a dispute is upheld, the parent is refunded.
