Do I need a background check to teach?
Yes, to teach on TeachMe.To. You can launch your TeachMe.To profile without one, but to stay active past your first month, every TeachMe.To coach needs a completed, approved background check. You can handle this right in the app: submit an existing valid check, or get a new one through our partner Dots (a few minutes, $10).
Using CoachGrow only? CoachGrow does not need a background check. Your coach site, bookings, and payments work without one. You only need a check if you also list on TeachMe.To, and your coach site stays live while you finish it.
For U.S. coaches: Dots is easiest, but you can use another provider if it's from our approved list below:
- Checkr
- Sterling
- First Advantage
- Accurate Background
- HireRight
- GoodHire (employer product, not the personal or consumer version)
- VICTIG
- IntelliCorp
- NCSI
- Sterling / Verified Volunteers
Coaches Outside the U.S.: Use an international check through our vendor Checkr, or submit a valid check from your current employer.
