What matching weighs
Skills, not schoolwork
Kennings is built around skills and enrichment, not academic tutoring.
For families

Kennings began as a real piano studio: teen instructors, weekly students, and parents who kept rebooking.
The platform is that operation, built into software.
Example only. Instructors set their own rates.
For young instructors
Safety
Kennings is not an open classifieds site. Verification and parent control run through every part of the platform.
Identity and age verification, guardian approval, and profile review before anyone can teach.
Parents control the account, payments, bookings, who their child talks to, and whether in-person lessons are allowed.
Messaging, scheduling, and payment stay inside Kennings, so personal contact details are never exposed by default.
What the lesson covered, visible to parents afterward.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the lesson.
Report a concern from any lesson, message, or profile.
Instructors are paid out after the lesson is completed.
Not a pitch deck
Piano is live in Birmingham & Bloomfield Hills. Chess, coding, and art open to the founding cohort next.
