Because Papaya envisions a world where every student, no matter their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status has access to culturally relevant, affordable tutoring.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #1b2c4e;\">Through connecting LATAM-based STEM tutors to underserved students in the US, Papaya creates living-wage opportunities for tutors abroad and democratizes access to high-quality education for underserved low-income communities in the US.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #1b2c4e;\">Our tech-fueled marketplace is built with convenience in mind for all parties.

LATAM tutors can work remotely and use their educational abilities to earn an income.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #1b2c4e;\">Most importantly, our LATAM tutors are emotionally intelligent and bilingual (in English and Spanish) offering our students added comfort for students who might be used to working with overwhelmed teachers that just cannot spare extra one-on-one time.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #1b2c4e;\">We built Papaya to serve as a saving grace for students in need \u2013 and there has never been a tougher time for students\u2019 comprehension than now.
