Connect Students Through Peer-to-Peer Teaching Abroad

Studying abroad is an incredible opportunity, but adjusting to new academic systems, languages, and teaching styles can be challenging. That's where peer tutoring makes all the difference.

Students with strong subject knowledge can apply to support their fellow classmates, creating a community of learning that bridges cultural and academic gaps.

Built for International Education Teams

Whether you're running a semester exchange program, a gap year initiative, or a full degree program abroad, this template captures everything you need to match tutors with students effectively:

• Subject expertise and academic background to ensure qualified matches

• Availability and time zones so scheduling works across different campuses and countries

• Language proficiency to match tutors with students who need support in specific languages

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on whether applicants want to tutor in STEM subjects, humanities, language support, or test preparation—ensuring every application is relevant and complete.

Streamline Matching and Onboarding

Once applications are submitted, use Stepper to automate your tutor matching workflow: send applications for review, notify program coordinators when new subjects are covered, update your tutor database in Airtable or Google Sheets, and trigger onboarding emails with program guidelines and training resources.
