The local partners who make a city portal real.

A city desk needs people on the ground: a writer who knows the town, a book shop near the school gate, an editor who can hold a standard. Honest local presence is the whole point.

Who we partner with

The people a city portal runs on

Education-adjacent and locally rooted — vetted before they appear, never predatory.

City stringers & editors

Local writers and editors, desk-trained and paid through the creator rails, who report and verify a town's schooling life from inside it. A city portal is only as honest as the person holding its desk.

Book & stationery shops

The book shop, stationer or uniform tailor near the school gate — listed in the directory with clearly-labelled offers. Small businesses that genuinely serve students, not loan sharks dressed as deals.

Coachings & tutors

Local coachings and tutors who want an honest listing in their own town, compared fairly within the city. A real on-ground entry, checked by the desk, with no invented credentials.

Community stewards

Moderators who keep a city circle civil — a guardians-of-locality room or an exam-year board — so the community part stays useful instead of turning into noise.

How we vet

The vetting floor

No predatory lending, no coaching-scam offers, nothing that preys on a guardian's anxiety about a child's schooling. That's a line, not a guideline.

A stringer with a conflict of interest — a cousin's coaching, a family school — discloses it, and the desk decides what they can and can't cover.

A partner is checked before they appear on a city page, and an offer is labelled as an offer. Honest presence beats fast growth every time.

Know a town we haven't reached?

A writer, a book shop, or a school in a city that's still 'planned' — that's often exactly how a new city begins.
