Are you ready to join one of Canada’s up-and-coming startups disrupting the $160B EdTech space?

Level: Entry / Junior

Reports to: VP of Growth

Description: As part of the Marketing team, the Social Media Specialist is responsible for the effective creation and implementation of all our social media campaigns.

Our Mission: Empower anyone who wants to share their knowledge with those who are keen to learn, wherever they are in the world!

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.

We believe that education will become much more highly Socratic and inclusive, in which interactions become more meaningful, and relationships with students continue well after their degree as part of the larger journey for knowledge.
