Badges: What they mean for your earnings

Updated October 14, 2022

Tutors earn increased visibility based on their level of success helping students on StudyGate. This comes in the form of badges, signs of credibility that make it easier for tutors to connect with students. Badges are manually applied to tutor accounts. If you qualify for an upgraded badge, send an email to [email protected] and we will update your account. If a refund is issued on your account, the badge will be downgraded to standard.
