The Examination

The Global Tutor
Entrance Test

Every tutor on Scholala has passed the GTET, a proprietary 500-mark examination designed to assess not just subject knowledge, but pedagogical depth, adaptive teaching ability, and the capacity to inspire. The test is administered independently and cannot be retaken within six months of a failing attempt.

Score range determines permanent tier placement. A tutor cannot purchase or negotiate their tier; only the GTET decides.

Testimonials

Heard from
Families

Scholala families span six continents. These are some of their words, unedited, unprompted, and very much their own.

Tier I · Mathematics

"My daughter went from a D to a B+ in one term. The structure her tutor brought was something her school never offered. Every session had a clear goal and she always left knowing exactly where she stood."

Priya M. Parent · Mumbai, India
Tier IV · Physics

"Our son was preparing for Oxford entrance. His Tier IV tutor, a former Cambridge lecturer, didn't just teach physics. He taught him how to think about physics. He got his offer."

Jonathan & Claire H. Parents · London, United Kingdom
Tier II · English Literature

"I struggled with essay writing for years. After eight sessions my tutor told me she'd run out of things to correct. I topped my class in the final exam. I'd never heard that before."

Aisha K. Student · Nairobi, Kenya
Tier III · IB Chemistry & Biology

"We hired a Tier III tutor for our twins, both sitting IB. She managed both subjects, both students, different learning styles, simultaneously. Both scored 7s. The GTET clearly measures something real."

Fatima & Omar Al-Rashid Parents · Dubai, UAE
Tier IV · Law School Preparation

"Within two days I had a shortlist of three tutors, all with verified GTET scores. The one I chose had a published paper in legal pedagogy. My LSAT score went up 18 points. The matching process alone is worth it."

Marcus T. Student · New York, USA
