Teach in cool mountain air, with an impact you can feel right away
Apply to TeachYou are the one who arranges when classes happen, slotting them between lectures, work, or church service. Many Tomohon families actually prefer the cool evening as their children's study time.
The students we offer you are the ones whose homes are closest to where you live, for example in Kakaskasen, Kamasi, Woloan, or another neighborhood near you. You can teach without traveling far from the area you already know well, so time and travel costs stay low.
Your guidance can become the provision that carries students of the City of Flowers into their dream universities, whether in Manado or beyond Sulawesi.
You join a circle of more than 120 Tomohon tutors who are used to supporting one another: passing along student referrals, lending materials, and encouraging new colleagues with the distinctive basudara warmth.
From time to time we hold workshops for tutors, covering techniques for delivering material, how to recognize what a student truly needs, and the art of speaking with parents without stiffness. All of it is free, and little by little it shapes you into a tutor who feels calmer guiding a class.
Only three attachments are asked of you: an ID, proof of your education, and a small note about who you are as a tutor. Everything flows through the same conversation, with no need to make the trip down to an office.
Each of your attachments is examined carefully, making sure nothing escapes our attention. Because the working areas of Tomohon and Manado lie close together, our internal coordination runs briskly, so word reaches you quickly.
Through a video call of roughly fifteen minutes, we want to get to know your style of guiding students and your strength in certain subjects. Think of it as a friendly, relaxed introduction, simply to make sure we are a good fit before you start with your first student.
The moment your profile goes live, our next task is to connect you with the most reachable students, whether around Kamasi, up in Kakaskasen, or along the way to Woloan. The door of the City of Flowers tutor family is officially open to you.
