Curriculum & policy checks

Check lessons against your documents.

Upload your curriculum, schemes of work, policies and tutor contracts. TutorTracer checks flagged teaching errors against your curriculum, and flagged conduct against your policies and contracts, and cites the page it relied on.

Free for 14 days or 400 lesson hours, whichever comes first. No card needed.

TutorTracer checks lessons against documents you provide. It doesn't write your policies or curriculum.

Is that what the syllabus says?

When a lesson is flagged for a possible teaching error, TutorTracer finds the most relevant passages in your curriculum documents and judges whether the tutor's approach, method and content are consistent with what your curriculum prescribes.

  • Four outcomes: contradicts curriculum, aligns with curriculum, not covered, or no curriculum uploaded
  • Each verdict comes with a confidence, a short summary and citations to the document
  • Run automatically as lessons are analysed, or on demand with “Run curriculum check”

Policy and contract breach checks

Which clause does it break?

Upload your safeguarding policy, staff handbook and tutor agreements to the Policies & Contracts library. From any flagged issue, run a breach check and TutorTracer retrieves the relevant clauses and tells you whether the conduct appears to breach them.

  • Policy, contract, handbook and other document types
  • Breached clauses quoted with their reference, so you can check them
  • Confirm or dismiss each possible breach

The right document for the right lesson.

Not every document applies to every lesson. Choose which documents are used for checks, and limit a document to particular tutors, students or tutor-student pairings. A document with no limits applies to all lessons.

  • “Used for checks” toggle on every curriculum document
  • “Manage coverage” to restrict a document to specific tutors, students or pairings
  • Subject and level recorded with each curriculum upload

How it works

From upload to cited verdict.

  1. Upload

    Add PDFs of up to 20 MB to the Library: curriculum on its own tab, policies and contracts on the other. Scanned PDFs are read with OCR.

  2. Indexing

    Each document is split into passages and indexed so the most relevant sections can be found for any lesson moment.

  3. Checking

    For a flagged issue, the closest passages are retrieved and an AI model compares the lesson quote against them.

  4. Verdict

    You see the outcome, its confidence, a summary and the passages it relied on, next to the issue.

Who it's for

For teams that teach to a standard.

Curriculum leads

Make sure what's taught matches the specification, exam board or scheme of work you've promised families.

Compliance and safeguarding

Tie conduct issues to the policy or contract clause they relate to, with the wording in front of you.

Programmes with partners

Schools and partners with their own schemes of work can have them checked against the lessons delivered for them.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does TutorTracer write policies for us?

No. TutorTracer checks lessons against curriculum, policy and contract documents that you upload. Your documents remain yours, and you stay in control of their content.

What file types can we upload?

PDFs up to 20 MB each. Scanned PDFs are processed with OCR so their text can be searched.

When do curriculum checks run?

They can run as part of lesson analysis for possible teaching errors, and you can run or re-run a check on any teaching-error issue from the Issues page.

What does “not covered” mean?

The curriculum passages found don't address what the tutor was teaching, so TutorTracer can't say whether it aligns. It's a prompt to check whether the right document is uploaded and scoped to that lesson.

Does the curriculum decide whether something is factually right?

The check judges whether the tutor's method, terminology and coverage match what your curriculum prescribes. The original teaching-error flag is where factual mistakes are picked up.

Who can see our documents?

Only people on your organisation's TutorTracer account. Documents are stored with the rest of your organisation's data. Passages are sent to our AI providers transiently when a check runs.

Bring your curriculum. We'll check the lessons.
