We believe that every student deserves a high-level, specialized AP tutor[cite: 15].
AP Tutor is a product of Times Edu — a Vietnamese educational technology company established with the mission of helping Vietnamese students access world-class AP instruction to prepare for top universities globally[cite: 15].
The Times Edu Story
Times Edu was founded in 2024 by a founding team with over a decade of experience in AI, educational technology, and US study abroad consulting[cite: 15]. We observed a significant gap between the quality of AP tutoring in Vietnam and the standards of centers in the US — particularly regarding modern teaching methods, roadmap personalization, and access to highly specialized tutors[cite: 15].
AP Tutor was created to fill this gap[cite: 15]. By combining AI-assisted teaching technology with a network of rigorously selected and verified tutors from leading universities (MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, and other top institutions), we provide a personalized AP learning experience for Vietnamese students[cite: 15].
Mission
To become the most reputable AP learning platform for students in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, ensuring every student has access to high-quality tutors, personalized roadmaps, and advanced educational technology[cite: 15].
Vision 2030
By 2030, AP Tutor aims to expand its services to students in multiple markets (Vietnam, UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, United Kingdom) with a verified tutor network across all 40 AP subjects and other international programs (IGCSE, A-Level, IB)[cite: 15].
Four principles guiding every decision[cite: 15].
Absolute Transparency
No fake testimonials. No exaggerated statistics[cite: 15]. All commitments are guaranteed in writing[cite: 15]. When real data is not yet available, we state it clearly — we do not exaggerate to make sales[cite: 15].
Uncompromising Quality
Every tutor must pass an internal professional exam and 4 rounds of interviews[cite: 15]. The candidate acceptance rate is low — we prioritize quality over quantity[cite: 15].
True Personalization
Every student has their own roadmap based on their current level, target score, and college application deadlines[cite: 15]. We do not apply a "one-size-fits-all" curriculum[cite: 15].
Vietnamese-English Bilingual Support
Tutors can teach in academic English while explaining difficult concepts in Vietnamese when necessary[cite: 15]. Weekly reports for parents are provided in Vietnamese — transparent and easy to track[cite: 15].
The founding team
AP Tutor is managed by a founding team with diverse expertise in AI, EdTech, study abroad consulting, and operational management[cite: 15]. The founding team includes alumni from prestigious universities with practical experience building educational technology products serving hundreds of thousands of users[cite: 15].
Detailed profiles and LinkedIn links for each member will be announced in Q3 2026 as we complete our soft launch phase and scale up[cite: 15].
