Is it illegal for college students to be tutors?

As for the issue of tutoring, the relevant departments have given clear regulations, stating that tutors cannot provide relevant tutoring. So is it a violation for these parents to apply for college students to tutor their children?

The official also gave a formal response to this, stating that as long as college students without a teacher qualification certificate are not allowed to conduct any training activities. Some specialized tutoring agencies must recruit and employ people according to this standard when recruiting people.

In addition, relevant departments also stated that from a policy perspective, part-time tutoring for college students is not considered a violation, but when tutoring, the following two conditions must be met. If these two conditions are not met, , then it is illegal tutoring.

The first condition is to comply with the relevant provisions of double reduction

The double reduction policy has greatly adjusted the teaching practice and teaching content. Therefore, even if college students work part-time Tutoring must also follow the relevant provisions of the double reduction policy, which means that tutoring is not allowed during statutory holidays, and tutoring time during working days cannot exceed 8:30 in the evening.

The relevant policy requirements of both parties must also be followed in terms of the content of make-up lessons. Part-time tutors for college students can provide tutoring. Currently, only non-professional courses can be taught in the compulsory education stage.

After the implementation of the “double reduction” policy, many parents are discussing whether, in addition to relying on themselves to help their children with their homework in the future, they can also find tutors from college students. On the other hand, can college students still be tutors for subject training in the future?

According to news from the Zhejiang Government Service Network on September 10, the Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau issued a reply on the same day on the issue of tutoring for college students under the background of the "double reduction" policy.

The Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau responded on September 10: According to Article 14 of the "Opinions on Further Reducing the Homework Burden and Off-Campus Training Burden of Students in Compulsory Education" issued by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council, " Personnel engaged in subject training must have corresponding teacher qualifications." Therefore, college students who do not have teacher qualifications cannot carry out subject training for middle school students. College students with teacher qualifications who engage in subject training through tutoring agencies must also follow the relevant national "double reduction" policies.

On August 18, the 26-year-old East China Normal University Tutoring Center announced that it would terminate tutoring-related businesses in response to the “double reduction” policy call.

According to the official website, the center is a professional tutoring service organization directly managed by the East China Normal University Work-Study Management Center and officially registered with the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce. The teaching format is one-to-one door-to-door teaching for college students.

It is worth noting that on September 8, the Ministry of Education stated that it would investigate and deal with some "new variants" of extracurricular training.

According to the website of the Ministry of Education, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued a notice requiring resolute investigation and punishment of off-campus training in disciplines that violates disguised regulations. It mentioned that institutions or individuals that violate the relevant regulations on training subjects and have incomplete certificates are to be consulted. Those who carry out subject-based training in violation of regulations in the name of , cultural communication, "housekeeping services", "live-in teachers", "crowdfunding private tutors", etc. shall be investigated and punished in accordance with laws and regulations.

The second condition is that you must obtain a teacher qualification certificate

As mentioned above, it is illegal for college students to work part-time as tutors without obtaining a teacher qualification certificate. Note here that it is illegal and not illegal. It is against the rules, so if college students want to become tutors, they must remember to obtain a teacher qualification certificate.

However, precisely because of the restriction of obtaining a teacher qualification certificate, this means that freshmen and sophomore students cannot insist on becoming teachers, because the teacher qualification certificate must not be obtained until their junior year. Exams are allowed.

However, the teacher qualification certificate is the threshold for becoming a teacher. If you do not pass the exam, you will be teaching illegally. Once you receive a report, you will be greatly affected, and it may even affect your college graduation.
