Guide hiring safety tips
Understand that anyone who is able to commit identity theft can also falsify a profile, so we suggest you take the following steps for your own protection.
How to Have a Safer and Better Experience.
When choosing virtual college tour guides, start by checking out reviews and ratings from other students. Consider having your parent or guardian be logged in with you during the tour. Trust your instincts and don't hesitate to end the tour if something doesn't feel right. You may choose to record the session for your safety and it can be viewed by our staff if you choose to report it.
To ensure the safety and privacy of all participants, it is strictly prohibited for students and guides to interact outside the designated platform. Any attempt to do so may result in immediate removal from the program to maintain a secure environment for all involved.
Review student feedback
Look at the Student Feedback section of the tutor profile to see lesson ratings (1 to 5 stars) and student reviews from previous customers. You are also free to request outside references from the tutor.
Keep personal information private
Never include your last name, e-mail address, home address, phone number, place of work, or any other identifying information in initial e-mail messages or communications. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal or financial information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it. Do not exchange personal contact information until you are completely comfortable and until you have payment information on file with Quads U.
Discuss the meeting with a parent or guardian.
We require that if you do book an in-person meeting that you meet in a public area and you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 18 we require that you have permission from your parent or guardian to utilize this website.
