About Cotuto
Cotuto is an EdTech non-profit organization which provides a platform to create an equal access to educational opportunities. Unlike many traditional educational support services who charge students at a premium, our objective is to make educational support more accessible than ever before. With our platform we enable students to virtually connect with a tutor or mentor entirely free of charge.
Together with our mentors and tutors we aspire to bring the inner potential of our students globally to the surface. By employing our tutoring and mentoring programs, we believe that we can enable our students to find the same opportunities in the educational system regardless of their economic backgrounds. Our vision is to create accessible educational opportunities all around the world. We strive to realize our vision by investing in:
- Quality education (UN Sustainability Development Goal 4)
- Establishing global partnerships (UN Sustainability Development Goal 17).
In expanding our global impact we have partnered with Kruger school to support students from disadvantaged areas in Ecuador. Our aim is to prepare these students to become role models for other students from the same areas in Ecuador. As an online English tutor you will tutor and assist these students in their English learning journey. By guiding the student in their English learning journey, you broaden their future opportunities on a local and international level.
As an online tutor, you encourage, assist and assess students in their learning process. By asking insightful questions and providing clear explanations you make other students actively reflect and understand the studied material. Our tutors guide students in online one-to-one tutoring sessions and are provided with an opportunity to further develop their teaching abilities and skills. By adopting a student-centred approach in our tutoring program, the tutor develops a higher level of awareness with regards to their teaching style, student-specific areas of improvement and success factors in a tutor-tutee relationship. Upon successful completion of this online tutor volunteering program, the tutor can receive a certificate of completion issued by Cotuto and Kruger School.
