Who We Are: TutorOcean is a global marketplace, peer-led tutoring platform and virtual classroom software enabling the next generation digital learning environments.  TutorOcean is a place where connections are made instantly, knowledge is shared and a community is born without any geographical boundaries.

Platforms like Zoom are still focused on an old paradigm of 1-to-many “broadcast” style delivery in which lecturing is still considered the medium.  Others believe VR/AR will be the next key trend until they realize it is just a novelty with limited but useful applications.
