These are the certified teachers your child would actually meet.
Genie is a Canadian tutoring platform with one rule we will not bend: the person on the other side of the screen holds a provincial teaching licence. Every face below is a real teacher, teaching today.
23 teachers with public profiles on Genie today. The blue check means we hold a copy of their provincial licence — 23 of 23 so far.
A licence is not a nice-to-have. It is the whole filter.
Anyone can call themselves a tutor. A provincial teaching licence is different: a government body assessed the person’s training, checked their record, and can take the licence away.
That is the bar we start at — and it is why a Genie teacher already knows the curriculum your child is graded against.
What happens before a teacher appears here
Four checks. A teacher who fails any one of them does not get a profile.
The licence
We ask for the certificate itself and read the issuing body off it — the Ontario College of Teachers, Alberta Education, and the rest.
The person
We confirm the teacher named on the certificate is the teacher who will be in the room with your child.
The subjects and grades
A teacher lists only what they are licensed and experienced to teach, grade by grade — not everything at once.
The profile
We write the “good match for” line ourselves, in plain words, so you can rule a teacher out as fast as you can rule one in.
In their own words
Families and teachers from Genie’s first cohort. Verbatim, unedited, no star ratings — we never collected any.
“We've had an excellent experience with Genie. Not only has her academic performance improved, but her self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning have also blossomed. Highly recommend Genie to families looking for a little more academic support!”
“As a parent, I can honestly say this tutoring program has been a game-changer for us. The online platform is easy to use. What I appreciate most is how her teacher made learning fun and personalized. My daughter actually looked forward to sessions!”
“Genie made it so easy for me to find and book a tutor for my sister. The app is super beginner-friendly and simple to use. I really appreciate that they connect families with certified teachers, which gave me confidence in the quality of learning.”
Our mission: To take the guesswork out of choosing a teacher
We watched parents spend weeks judging strangers on a website, with nothing to go on but a photo and a price. Nobody should have to guess whether the person teaching their child can teach.
A licensed teacher, or nobody
Your child is taught by someone a province assessed, registered, and can strike off — not by whoever answered the ad. We ask every teacher for the certificate itself, and the body that issued it goes on their profile.
You never have to ask how it went
The moment a lesson ends, the teacher's notes reach you: what was covered, what was set for homework, what your child found hard. No reconstructing the hour from a shrug at dinner.
Matched to the curriculum, not just the subject
A teacher lists only the subjects and grades they are licensed and experienced to teach. You search by both, so the person you book already knows the programme your child is graded against.
The school year moves fast.
Give your child the advantage of a certified teacher — before the next report card.
