Our community is highly diverse and consists of people from virtually every country in the world.

AP Max Prep is committed to building a world where people from every background feel comfortable learning and teaching. Our commitment rests on two foundational principles that apply both to AP Max Prep and Learners: Tolerance and Respect . 

 

While we cannot control the actions of others, it is of utmost important to us that we try to remove all forms of unlawful bias, discrimination, hate, and intolerance from our Platform. AP Max Prep, Learners, Tutors, and anyone interested in using our services agrees to read and act in compliance with the following policy to realize our mission is to ensure everyone can have access to learning and anyone can be a Tutor because everyone is great at something. 

 

  1. Tolerance – while highly subjective, we define tolerance in a very serious way. When a patron joins AP Max Prep as a learner or Tutor, they agree to our tolerance requirements, that include, but are not limited to, prohibition of prejudice, racism, and hatred. These disgusting acts have no place on our Platform or in our community. While Tutors and Learners are required to follow all applicable laws that prohibit discrimination based on such factors ase reace, religion, national origin, and others listed below, we try to do more than just follow the minimum requirements established by law. 
  2. Respect – At all times, the AP Max Prep community must respect each other in all forms of communication, messaging, photos, video-call sessions, and in-person Sessions. AP Max Prep understands and appreciates that cultural norms and local laws vary around the world and expects that all AP Max tutors abide local laws and engage with each other respectfully as well. By connecting people from different backgrounds, areas, and cultures, AP Max Prep understands and appreciates the common characteristics shared by all people.

When Learners are denied Sessions

Tutors should keep in mind that no one likes to be denied a Tutoring Session. While a Tutor may have articulated and lawful reasons for turning down a potential Larner, it may cause a Learner to feel excluded and embarrassed. 

Tutors should make every effort to tutor as many Learners as possible. Tutors who have a legible pattern of rejecting LearnerSessions from a specific group or class of people affects the AP Max Prep Platform. AP Max Prep may warn and/or suspend Tutors from the AP Max Prep Platform who have a historical pattern of rejecting Learner Sessions in violation of the Guildances
