For learners
Find tutors who teach your national curriculum, and trainers who understand the regional context your career operates in. Live one-to-one sessions, recorded lessons between sessions, and a virtual classroom for shared materials. Whether you’re a student preparing for an exam, or a professional learning a skill that needs local context to be useful — Ostathi tutors are screened against what they actually teach.
For instructors
Build a teaching practice that uses what you actually know — the curriculum you’ve taught, the market you understand, the language you teach in. Ostathi is for local subject specialists with regional expertise. Set your own schedule, manage bookings and secure payments in one place, and reach learners in markets you couldn’t reach alone. No upfront cost.
Built around local context, not imported from elsewhere
Ostathi operates a South-South knowledge transfer model. Each country platform is designed around the cultural, institutional, and labour market reality of its operating context — built with local educators, aligned to local curricula. The platform a learner uses in Amman is built differently from the one used elsewhere.
Live in Jordan. Expanding globally.
Ostathi’s first country platform is operational in Jordan, deployed under the World Bank Youth, Technology and Jobs programme with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE). Over 1,000 applications were received in the first five days of outreach. Additional country platforms are in development.
More localized platforms are coming soon across the globe.

The model connects learning to earning, bridges skills gaps, and supports workforce development. Where EdTech meets FinTech, it aligns people, technology, and financial access to build resilient prosperity
