Yes! If a Community Tutor earns an accredited teaching certification, then he or she can apply for an upgrade to a Professional Teaching profile (your Community Tutoring lesson history will also be saved).
You can apply here.
- ALL the languages you're teaching are open for upgrade applications
- You need to provide teaching certificates or credentials for ALL your teaching languages.
- For example: If you teach English and Spanish, both languages need to be open before you can apply. Check the language status here: https://support.italki.
com/hc/en-us/articles/ 115001499873. In your application form, you need to provide teaching certificates or credentials for both English and Spanish.
It can also be found by logging in to your teaching account and then returning to the online application form. The system will know that you are already a teacher and will offer you an upgrade application.
Please note that these instructions are only for current Community Tutors wishing to change their status to Professional Teachers. If you do not yet have a teaching account and have the required certification, you can apply for a professional teaching profile directly.
