Mission: Invictus Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been setting up online tutoring arrangements since 2012.Our mission is to build and empower disadvantaged people to improve their future by providing access to resources such as internet and education, and helping discover, grow, and share individual talents. We arrange consistent mentoring and tutoring of individuals to inspire them and help them reach their potential. Our volunteers digitally meet weekly with students (via Skype) and help them grow educationally by helping them with their schoolwork so the student internalizes what they are learning in school.
