Who We Are

Tutorist is an AI-powered educational platform that creates lifelike digital twins of real teachers. Our mission is to make high-quality education accessible, multilingual, and personalized — by combining human creativity with machine intelligence.

Whether you’re a student in Portugal or Pakistan, a teacher in Spain or Senegal — Tutorist helps break barriers of time, language, and geography so that learning is always within reach.

We believe:

  • Education should speak your language
  • Teachers should scale without burnout
  • Learning should feel personal — even when digital

Our Vision

To become the leading global platform where any teacher can reach any learner, anywhere, in any language — powered by intelligent avatars and immersive technology.
