Ethical Guidelines for Educators
The Muzeg Teacher Code of Conduct outlines the ethical and professional standards expected of all educators. Sharing private contact details, such as social media handles, email addresses, websites, or any personal IDs, is strictly prohibited to maintain confidentiality.
Embrace Cultural Sensitivity
It's crucial to honor and respect your students' diverse values and traditions. Avoid making assumptions or comments that could be seen as offensive or discriminatory. Any form of bias based on race, nationality, ethnicity, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender, or other characteristics is unacceptable. Upholding these principles supports civil rights, ensures equal opportunities, and maintains the dignity of all students.
To foster a positive learning environment, avoid controversial topics that could cause conflict, such as marital status, politics, and religion. Maintaining ethical behavior and student privacy is key to a supportive and harmonious classroom.
Professionalism and Empathy
Always act with professionalism and adhere to ethical standards. Respond to student inquiries, messages, and lesson requests within 2 to 48 hours, depending on when the lesson is scheduled. This demonstrates your dedication to teaching and ethical responsibility.
Keep your profile updated and manage your calendar efficiently to minimize rescheduling, cancellations, and declined lesson requests. This shows your commitment to reliability and excellence.
Communicate proactively and support your students with thoughtful guidance and professional judgment. Patience, politeness, and positive relationships are vital for professional growth and ethical interactions.
Ensure your teaching environment is conducive to learning, with proper lighting, a quiet space, and a fast internet connection. Respect student privacy by obtaining written or recorded consent before recording audio or video. This practice aligns with the ethical principles of confidentiality and respect.
If a student arrives late, remain available for the entire duration of the scheduled lesson. This reflects your commitment to providing consistent educational opportunities.
Punctuality and Attendance
Muzeg expects teachers to be present and on time for all scheduled lessons. This demonstrates a commitment to professional duties and ethical behavior. Rescheduling or canceling should be a last resort to ensure students receive uninterrupted access to education and expertise.

Maintain a positive attitude towards Muzeg and avoid negative comments about the platform. Uphold the public trust by promoting the value of education and demonstrating appreciation for the service by maintaining high standards.
