Certified Problem Solver

Altitutor is a verified, operational not-for-profit tutoring company based in Adelaide, Australia, with a documented physical presence and a team size of ~125 (likely including casual tutors). While the project demonstrates significant local utility and a commendable business model (profits funding free tuition), the submission itself suffers from poor quality, including hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect audience targeting ('everyone' vs. local students), and misused financial terminology ('market cap' for a non-profit). The score reflects the solid reality of the business entity, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and exaggerated submission data.

Description
Altitutor is a not-for-profit tutoring company, started with a vision not only to provide better tutoring, but also make it more accessible to those who cannot afford it. From years of experience doing both private and company tutoring, we found that individual tutors often struggled with providing a complete education for students, while tutoring with larger companies lacked personalised learning. We took all of this experience and developed a tutoring model which both provides a complete curriculum and tailors learning to individual students. And thats not all. All of our company profits go back into providing free tuition for students in difficult circumstances, so by learning with us, you’re supporting a student who needs it.
