From a School Project to a Community Movement

​Ototutor began in 2015 with a clear observation: finding the right tutor should be effortless. While tutoring math through their high school’s “Math Buddies” program, Abbas Kashanipour and Peyman Bateni saw how challenging it was for students and tutors to connect. What started as an idea to make tutoring more accessible quickly evolved into a platform serving hundreds of students across Vancouver.

Building a Foundation on Mentorship and Technology

Combining their expertise in education and web development, the founders built a system focused on what matters most: pairing each student with the ideal tutor. Within months, their prototype became a live platform: streamlined, effective, and dedicated to supporting student achievement.
​
By 2017, Ototutor had become a trusted local name in one-on-one tutoring, built entirely through word of mouth and genuine results.

A New Generation of Leadership

​In 2022, Ototutor embarked on a new phase under the leadership of Amir Kashanipour, now CEO. Amir sharpened the focus on student experience, academic excellence, and community impact. His approach centers on listening, understanding each student’s needs, creating personalized learning paths, and ensuring tutoring inspires confidence and curiosity beyond grades.

Continuing the Mission

Today, Ototutor's mission is simple: to connect passionate tutors with motivated students in ways that empower both to pursue their fullest potential, academically and personally.
​
From a high school project to one of Vancouver’s most trusted tutoring networks, Ototutor grows through dedication, integrity, and the conviction that great education is rooted in genuine connection.
