Tutoring, one of the largest segments of the education markets. It is the oldest education segments and frequently the firsts resource that students seek out when they want to learn something. Tutoring exists both offline and online, so far largely offline. In this section, I want to introduce an awesome new online platform based on blockchain technology. The platform is known as NTOK (Tutor Ninja Token).
What is NTOK?
Tutor Ninja Token (NTOK) is a global decentralized ecosystem for continuing education aimed at allowed tutors and students to interact via an online platform based on the blockchain technology. NTOK's key participants are tutors and students. The main focus NTOK platform is on foreign languages, other popular subjects and topics, preschool education, supplementary instruction for K-12 students, as well as coding and blockchain course. NTOK makes it possible for tutors specializing in various subjects to join the platform. After completing a series of online lessons, the students can start working wiht a different tutor on the same subject, or she/he can study with several tutors at the same time.
The mission of NTOK platform is to facilitate learning, in particular of a foreign language, through a peer-to-peer platform connecting tutors and students.
The alpha version of NTOK platform was already created, we are testing it as online English language school at tutor-ninja.com, which will become a pilot for a new decentralized model of interacting with centralized online school.

The Problems On The Tutoring Market
- Most courses are offline with students spending hours traveling to classes.
- Unbalanced supply of tutors by courses and prices.
- Middleman (commercial schools and study centers) charge significant markups.
- The small percentage of tutors who do already online are mostly forced to teach via Skype, which is unsuited to the educational purpose.
- Students choose teachers on the basis of unreliable ratings with some ratings being fake.
The Solution
The NTOK platform is aimed at solving all problems by developing an online tutoring ecosystem based on blockchain technology. Our solution provides:
- Peer-to-peer learning platform
Online platform eliminating geographical borders between tutors and students through a cutting-edge technology with high-quality video and audio as well as education-specific functionality, such as whiteboards, lesson scheduling, payments and interactive learning methods. - Impossible to fake ratings
Transparent and secure information on the experience and quality of tutors through ranking and review system built on the blockchain. - No intermediaries
Elimination of intermediaries between tutors and students, such as schools, and therefore significantly reducing the cost of lessons.
The NTOK platform technology and architecture
The NTOK platform contains two major blocks: the learning platform and blockchain, with the blockchain having both internal and external blocks.
- The learning platform
The learning platform provides the followings functionalities: search, selection and ratings of tutors, online scheduling, virtual classroom, interactive tests, licensed content, video lessons.
- Blockchain
Tutors will get paid with NTOK tokens directly by students through the Ethereum blockchain (ERC20 standard). For better user experience fiat currency to token exchange capability will be integrated into the system.
Note: the public sale is LIVE, you can purchase NTOK token on the NTOK website
