As an organization, we want to provide children with the opportunity our younger selves needed yet couldn’t access, a supportive, caring, relatable buddy to guide them through all the tough hurdles of life and the education system. Our mission is to create a passion of learning, where children look forward to their tutoring sessions and other opportunities to learn and grow. We know that tutoring shouldn’t aim to mimic the school system, it should aim to fix the gaps which the school system simply cannot.

Our mission is to make learning fun. We believe that connecting tutees with their perfect older buddy is crucial to foster a passion for learning. We aim to create an environment where kids choose to learn rather than being forced, which is reflected by the freely structured educational guidelines we have in place.

Our roots stem from Westlake Boys High School, where YPT was founded by Ethan Wong and Daniil Glumskov in 2024. Having both grown up on Auckland’s North Shore, we understand both the New Zealand education system as well as the local schooling culture and therefore the flaws and strengths regarding both. We’ve both received private tuition, and had very lack lustre experiences between enjoyment and learning, fuelling our passion to make a change.
