Ask for language help when accuracy matters

Interpreter versus tutor

A tutor helps you learn. A qualified interpreter helps people communicate accurately during a specific interaction. They are not interchangeable.

Do not share account secrets

Never give a tutor passwords, full payment-card details, one-time codes, or unnecessary identity documents.

Request written terms

For housing, work, health and financial products, ask for documents you can review slowly or with trusted language assistance.

Keep legal advice separate

Language instruction is not immigration or legal advice. Use an authorized professional for advice about your case.
