Student's Safety as the Baseline for Everything
Ensuring the safety of the student is Heeyoung's top priority before any tutoring session. As an official educator, she is certified as a Subject Matter Expert Standard Teaching by the Arizona Department of Education.
She has also undergone an FBI background check through the Arizona Department of Public Safety and has been issued an official fingerprint clearance card known as the IVP (Identity Verified Prints) fingerprint clearance card, which is required for most school teachers and school district staff.
Heeyoung will present her IVP fingerprint clearance card to the student at the beginning of the first tutoring session.
