Verifying tutors credentials for online one-on-one lessons

Parents booking online tutors (via Chegg Tutors, VIPKid, Tutor.com) cannot easily verify claimed credentials (teaching certifications, subject expertise, accent neutrality) before committing to paid sessions. Platforms provide limited credential transparency, and refund policies don't always protect parents from low-quality instruction.
