Who We Are

The Personal Tutor Society (PTS) Mission Statement:

— Where a student’s individuality becomes the culprit for their academic and personal growth; as tutors reinvent the process of learning through research —

In 2020, the founders were rather inspired by the struggles with learning. Students often succumb to their academic shortcomings, where they lack the necessary supports to tackle obstacles in the various facets of learning (studying, memorization, test-taking, basic understanding, problem-solving, etc). Not to mention, there are additional conflicts between trying to understand a teacher AND be understood by teachers.

On the other hand, the traditional classroom uses the “pick yourself by the bootstraps and figure it out”, an approach that is only successful for a handful of students. But surely, students demand and should be granted greater supports for a positive and thriving academic career.

Personal Tutor Society is dedicated to aiding students in the tangible and intangible learning processes.
