2016 Some endings and many new beginings

We welcomed in the new year with open arms and a push to bring our dream of disrupting the educational world with our truly personalized experience.  Like many startups, the last year was filled with success and hardships, many challenges were in our road and with a lot of effort from our great and expanding team we pushed past them.

As with life, there were some endings in the begining of the year. THEA which had been a great help and supporter of the MyeTutor.org platform held it's graduation from their incubator. We were present, and awarded for the excellence and growth we showed while being a part of their family.  Presenting the graduation was  Constantine Michalos  President of the Industry and Commerce in Athens.

Our time with THEA brought us around Europe, helped promote and spread awareness of the growing educational problems on a global scale. We want to wish the THEA Group many future successes, and that they can continue to help the Greek entrepreneurs reach for their goals.


A great push forward came in the end of January as the MyeTutor team began development with a connection to IBM Watson.  We will be publishing later more information and news about this powerful new ally in the push to get our platform to be the pinnacle of technology and another step closer to a global change in education.


In February MyeTutor had its first annual review where the company discussed the areas where we excelled and where more work needs to be done. As a startup you come to face many things that are unpredictable, agility, determination and fact reaction is a must to be able to make it through. In our first company review we had the pleasure of hosting one of our colleagues who flew into Greece from the US while others were on skype with us several hours for two consecutive days.




It was a two-day event where the first day several members of the team presented the progress and spoke about subjects that are of importance to the company while the second day we had some Use Cases recorded under observation - a parent and a tutor.

Their feedback was extensively discussed within the team and subsequently some of the recommendations where implemented. The second part of the second day was devoted to a hackathon where the IT and the Education/Content creation teams were assigned each a challenge to complete.
