For many years, Latin America has faced many socioeconomic problems. The lack of education and the limitation of access to information have been highly harmful to people with limited economic resources. As a consequence of these two inequalities, the crime ratio in the region has surpassed the global average ratio, and the development growth rate is low compared to other developing economies. Many educators around the world have concluded that the root of the problem is the bad structured educational systems in many of these countries, where not only the lack of well trained teachers, but also the limitation of opportunities is evident. As a result, Latin American people face many problems to compete and to excel in different fields in this globalized society.
TutorEs is an online platform which desires to lessen the gap between the different socioeconomic status in terms of education quality. By providing open access to high quality educational material and taking advantage of information technology and the Internet; the company desires to empower people with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed and to create a positive impact to the Latin American society as a whole. Besides providing teaching sessions, TutorES will also be able to create job opportunities through the offering of informal job positions, where people with the right skills can provide their service as tutors and receive a payment.
The special feature of TutorES platform is the free online tutoring sessions provided by people who want to donate time and efforts to learners who cannot afford a learning session at an academic institution which requires a monthly payment for the service. TutorES believes that education is a powerful tool that will promote a positive change in the Latin American region.
