WHO WE ARE
Here at Lumi Tutors, we know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. Since our founding in 2020, we have been determined to make an impact. The core of our efforts is to bring our team’s fresh ideas and passion to reversing the educational inequality caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and socioeconomic status. Through our tutoring programs we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs.
