What makes TutorOcean different
TutorOcean’s services and the features of its virtual learning platform have been developed
in direct response to user feedback from the consumer, education and B2B markets.
TutorOcean’s interactive online learning environments, complete with a unique white-board
feature, file sharing, and recording and archive capabilities, empower tutor and student alike
to enjoy a level of one-on-one engagement previously only possible with a face-to-face
Session.
This is coupled with a comprehensive administrative backend designed to function as a
single pane of glass: Individual tutors, tutoring businesses and academic administrators at
colleges and universities all find it easy and intuitive to manage all aspects of delivering a
tutoring service from a single platform.
The TutorOcean platform also has the power to scale, to support virtual classroom
environments of up to 10. Capacity to deliver one-to-many online learning for groups larger
than 10 is in development.
Where TutorOcean helps post-secondary institutions
TutorOcean provides departmental and support-centre administrators with all the tools they
need to effortlessly manage their institution’s peer-supported academic programs. A single
easy-to-use administrative dashboard handles all the logistics of tutor vetting and
onboarding, scheduling and attendance, payment processing, and data and analytics.
The platform also serves as an instant messaging service between student and tutor and
monitors their interactions. Administrators can track progress, review session feedback, and
ensure standards for academic quality and integrity are being met.
