Safety is always a top priority at The Teacher Marketplace (TTM). TTM is proud to announce a new product feature - the COVID-19 vaccine teacher badge. Parents that are searching for a teacher or tutor for private in-person or pod assistance can now search with confidence that their child is being taught by an educator who is fully vaccinated.

According to the New York Times, nearly half of US states have begun allowing teachers to be vaccinated as officials decide which groups should be given priority for early protection against the coronavirus.

"Having peace of mind that a tutor is vaccinated before they enter into your child’s bubble is a critical feature TTM wanted to offer its members," states Nat Brogadir, co-founder. TTM understands the importance and significance of identifying vaccinated teachers as parents, teachers and children seek to return to a more normal education experience.
