Institution=Tutoring Center

I watched a Tedtalk about a guy who started a tutoring center. Which is kinda close to what my project is. I watched some of the steps he took. He stated how he started a tutoring center and people were inspired by this to start their own all around the world.

He tells us how he started but he doesn't really state how he got the money and how he got started. I would like to kinda shift my project more into being a tutoring center because after all it mainly is a place to study and have classes. If I switch my project to a tutoring center than it makes it easier because it would be helping kids not adding more classes/pressure/stress to them.The point of my project was to help those who are in need. The tutoring center will help out those who are in need. I also wanted to be able to communicate with a lot of people and through the process I am sure that this will happen.
