Real experiences from tutors who joined in Aru before you.
“I study at PSDKU Unpatti Dobo and began teaching math while finishing my thesis. My students are spread across a few lanes in Dobo, and I arrange the schedule myself between classes. It feels meaningful to help the younger ones in my hometown stay eager with numbers.”
Nurudin M.
Math Tutor
“Many parents in Dobo want their children to speak English well, especially those who hope to continue school in Ambon. Some students I meet in person, others by video call when the waves are high. The flexible schedule really helps.”
Fasya L.
English Tutor
“Living in Benjina means I rely on online classes to reach students on the islands across from me. As long as the signal is friendly, one afternoon I can guide two or three children from different districts. The pay is clear from the start, so I feel calm managing my time.”
Wicaksono A.
Science & Physics Tutor
“Being there as a little one first pieces together letter after letter is a moment I always look forward to. I usually teach toward late afternoon, after the children wake from their nap, so household matters stay handled. If anything comes up, the EduPoint team is quick to reply to my messages.”
Rusmi A.
Early Literacy Tutor
“After the Maghrib prayer I usually guide a few children reading Iqro and the Quran around Jalan Ali Moertopo. Demand in our neighborhood is fairly steady, and I am glad the knowledge I hold can keep flowing on. The pay follows my needs, without any fuss.”
