Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Skill Bridge pipeline, booking systems, and guarantees.
How does the 3-day payment hold protect me?
When you book a session, your payment is held securely by Stripe for 3 days after the scheduled completion time. This gives you ample opportunity to verify the slot quality and ensure all engineering goals were met before funds are permanently released to the tutor.
What happens if a mentor needs to reschedule?
If an overlapping event or timeline emergency requires a reschedule, mentors can propose a new block through their calendar manager interface. If the updated slot doesn't match your availability, you can instantly cancel the transaction to trigger an immediate automated refund pool release.
Are the profiles and expert categories verified?
Absolutely. Every tutor undergoes background skill assessments and profile validation before their metadata status is modified to active on our database tables. This preserves our premium instructional layer and keeps search indexes clear of unvetted profiles.
