The SuperTeacher badge helps students identify teachers who consistently meet a set of performance criteria on MusicTeachers.co.uk.
Teachers who meet the SuperTeacher criteria receive a visible SuperTeacher badge on their profile and in search results. The criteria are reviewed regularly using platform data and are designed to recognise factors such as student satisfaction, reliability and long-term student commitment.
This article explains how the SuperTeacher criteria work and how each measure is calculated.
There are 4 measures and for a teacher to reach SuperTeacher, they must meet 'Committed students' plus at least two more criteria.
Quick to respond
The teacher responds to the first message from a new student within 12 hours on average.
Presentation video
The teacher has a presentation video introducing themselves as a teacher or performer on their profile so that students can get a good insight into who they are as people and what their teaching style is.
Highly recommended
The teacher has at least 3 reviews from current and/or former students (who must have booked at least one lesson via MusicTeachers.co.uk). The average star rating must be a minimum of 4 out of 5 stars.
Committed students
This criterion measures how many students continue taking lessons with a teacher over time.
How the SuperTeacher criteria were developed
When students choose a teacher, they consider many factors, including professionalism, experience and safeguarding. Through student feedback and platform data, we identified a number of additional factors that students consistently value when selecting a teacher.
The SuperTeacher criteria are based on these factors and are designed to recognise teachers who meet the required standards across all measures.
