What is OpenProf.com and what is it for
A learning difficulty is any situation in which the learner (regardless of age) is incapable of continuing with self-study and requires assistance. Educational platform OpenProf.com is offering just this kind of assistance. Learning difficulties are addressed in two sections:
Tutoring section
The tutoring section is designed for those learners who are in need of a personal tutor. To help them search, the website offers a comprehensive and verified list of tutors for all learning subjects. Additionally, tutees are given an opportunity to rate and comment on the work of a tutor, which enhances tutors’ comparability.
eWorkbook
eWorkbook offers a collection of learning documents with the emphasis on exercises with solutions. They are intended for all who are capable of learning or consolidating knowledge on their own, without a teacher to guide them.

Code of Ethics for Tutors
In tutoring, both the professional and the human side of a tutor are of great importance. In the quest to make both tutors and tutees understand the two sides of a good tutor, The National Tutoring Association (NTA) with 3700 members – individuals and organisations – in the USA and abroad, compiled Code of Ethics for tutors.
The guidelines are general enough to be acceptable for all who are involved in tutoring. If your tutor does not abide by them, consider getting a new one.
