Students have a lot to cover when they’re at school. “We realise that many parents are seeing signs that their child may be falling behind, but aren’t sure where to find the one on one help and attention needed. With TutorChimps, they now not only have a solution, but their child will be engaged in fun and exciting sessions that will not just help them catch up and keep them on track, but will also make them love learning,” said Jaime Wynter-Hewitt, CEO of TutorChimps. She added, “Learning doesn’t have to be stressful, at TutorChimps, we make learning fun and exciting! Our sessions are interactive, engaging, and tailored to each student’s needs. With one-on-one support in a relaxed, online environment, students actually look forward to their lessons. Parents don’t have to rush to drop their kids off for extra lessons after school, or hunt to find a tutor. Our platform provides a space where students and parents feel comfortable, confident, and students are eager to learn”, she further commented.

“Jamaican educators bring something unique to the table—energy, relatability, and a commitment to excellence, said a parent from Jamaica who currently uses the platform. “My daughter connected instantly with her tutor and looks forward to every session.”

While the platform is globally accessible, and envisions having international tutors in the future, TutorChimps currently exclusively partners with Jamaican teachers showcasing the island’s rich pool of talented, qualified educators to an international audience. Students from North America, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond can now benefit from the warmth, creativity, and professionalism that Jamaican teachers are known for.

Students can easily book sessions through the TutorChimps website. They can search for available sessions by entering their grade level and the subject area they need help in. They also have the option of viewing additional details about the session, including the available dates and times. The Tutor Info is also available for review. Each profile highlights the tutor’s qualifications, teaching style, availability, and pricing. Once a session is selected, students simply pick an available time slot, and confirm the booking with secure online payment. A confirmation email is sent immediately, and reminders leading up to the session date. On the scheduled date, students join the live video conferencing lesson directly through the website, enjoying a seamless and interactive learning experience from anywhere in the world.

Prior to the launch, TutorChimps completed a successful pilot program involving tutors and learners across Jamaica. The site has a vibrant social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Tik Tok, where they share more about their sessions on offer, studying tips and interesting information for all learners.   

“We are proud to be building a platform that is helping people learn through high-quality, fun and exciting online education,” said Jaime Wynter-Hewitt. “This is about providing opportunities for everyone  to enjoy learning in the comfort of their homes.”
