Teach it forward
Our concept is borrowed from the movie called ‘Pay it forward’, which is about a young boy spreading a simple idea across the entire American nation. He feels that when someone helps you, you must help a few more people, and
then the cycle can go on.
Our idea is to ‘Teach it forward’ (TIForward). This will be one of the first ‘international’ tuition centers to be a social enterprise. It will help prepare students to grasp the opportunity they deserve i.e. to get a place at their dream university and to get scholarship offers. We ourselves will provide the ‘Teach it forward’ scholarship.
TIForward aims to succeed by firstly providing needy students with the necessary tuition. This will equip them to
be more eligible for scholarships from overseas universities. Secondly, TIForward will also help prepare children
in ASEAN countries to be more ‘globalized’ and open to international perspectives from different students from different countries. We can achieve this by teaching through video-conferencing.
With our slogan of ‘From seniors to juniors’, we hope that knowledge and experience will be passed on to the next
generation. As seniors, we hope to inspire young minds to think big and think about others. And we hope that they
will live up to this idea and … teach it forward.
