Stay Safe on Seekooh.
Your trusted guide to navigating our global tutoring marketplace with confidence — whether you're a student, parent, teacher, or institute.
⚠️ Important Notice
Seekooh is a connection platform only — we bring teachers, students, parents, and institutes together, but all financial transactions and service agreements are made directly between users. Always exercise caution and follow the safety guidelines below.
We believe in an open, honest marketplace
We know that 99.9% of users on Seekooh are genuine and trustworthy. We work every day to keep our platform clean. However, as with any open marketplace, we cannot independently verify every user — which is why staying informed is your first line of defence.
Meet Safely
Always meet for the first few sessions in a public location — a library, café, or mall.
Secure Payments
Prefer traceable payment methods with protection over cash or informal transfers.
Verify Identities
Check reviews, ratings, and cross-verify names before committing to any engagement.
Spot Red Flags
Unrealistic rates or requests to communicate off-platform are classic warning signs.
Safety tips tailored to you
- Use secure, traceable payment methods: Confirm payment methods before starting. Prefer bank transfers or platforms with transaction records.
- Request partial payment upfront for projects: For project-based work, ask for a deposit before starting to ensure commitment.
- Offer a demo session: Start with one trial session. After the student is satisfied, agree on session fees clearly.
- Keep all communication on Seekooh: This creates a verifiable record and protects you if a dispute arises.
- Verify the profile thoroughly: Check reviews and posting history. Be cautious of brand new accounts with urgent requests.
- Pay through documented methods: Use traceable bank transfers or apps. Avoid paying cash to someone you haven't met.
- Verify identity matches payment details: Ensure the bank account name matches the teacher's profile name.
- Do not close disputes early: If using a payment platform with dispute resolution, only close it once service is delivered.
- Search for the name online: A simple Google search can often verify a professional tutor's reputation.
- Pay in milestones: Agree on per-session or per-week payments rather than large upfront sums.
- Conduct structured interviews: Perform video or in-person interviews. Verify degrees and certifications independently.
- Use written agreements: Document the scope of work, schedule, and payment terms for every hire.
- Protect student data: Don't share sensitive contact info until a formal engagement is confirmed.
- Post accurate job ads: Clearly state compensation and requirements to attract serious candidates.
- Report suspicious profiles: If credentials seem fake or behavior is inappropriate, report to Seekooh immediately.
Common Red Flags
Large Advance Sums
Anyone demanding full payment before any service is a major red flag.
Off-Platform Pressure
Scammers often try to move to WhatsApp or email to avoid accountability.
Identity Mismatches
If bank details don't match the profile name, stay cautious.
Urgency Tactics
Artificial pressure ("pay now or lose the slot") is a classic scam tactic.
Unrealistically Low Rates
Rates that seem "too good to be true" are often bait used by bad actors.
Brand New Profiles
Urgent requests from profiles with zero history worth extra scrutiny.
Meeting in person?
Stay smart.
When tutoring happens face-to-face, personal safety becomes your primary concern. Follow these essential guidelines for every first meeting.
Safe Meeting Checklist
- First few sessions in a well-lit, busy public place.
- Tell a trusted friend or family member where you're going.
- Students under 18 must have a parent present.
- Avoid first meetings at private residences.
- Trust your instincts — cancel if something feels wrong.
- Use ride-sharing so your route is documented.
