Zoom’s standard terms restrict under-16 use to qualifying school arrangements. English With Arlene independent tutoring business is not automatically eligible. We need platform confirmation or a suitable alternative before offering younger children live calls.
Parent-managed bookings, privacy and consent processes, screening and applicable state requirements also need to be settled. Remote sessions are supplemental learning support, not a replacement for school attendance.

What needs checking?
Whether the planned service triggers state educator or private-school rules; applicable screening/reporting and student privacy requirements; business/tax obligations; and the video platform’s age eligibility. School contracts, public funding and compulsory-education tutoring need separate review.
Why do California and Pennsylvania need careful wording?
Some official “private tutor” rules concern replacing school attendance, rather than occasional supplemental English practice. California’s credentialed homeschool-tutor route is outside English With Arlene proposed service. Pennsylvania’s screening and education routes need model-specific review.
Research date: October 31, 2026. DC and territories require separate review. This checklist is not a legal opinion.
