Our cherished values ☯️

Test, Fail, Learn then Build👷🏻‍♀️: At AlGooru, there is always room for trial and error. It’s a natural component of every learning and growth experience. We don’t expect you to hit things right from the start (I mean, we wouldn’t mind if you did), so you really have the green light to unleash all that creativity of yours.
Kaizen 🏯: This is the literal Japanese translation for “Continuous Improvement”. At AlGooru, we’re always optimizing our workflows for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
AlGooru = Al Serial Intrapreneur 👓: EdTech Industry AND in the MENA region?? Opportunities are endless, aren’t they? That’s why at AlGooru, all of us find it our sole responsibility to remain updated about the industry’s trends and news. All of us are always on the hunt for the next big breakthrough.
We’re Rooting for You 💞 : This mainly goes for our talents. If you work with AlGooru, then you can rest assured that we’ve got your back, no matter where you are! We’ll cross borders just to make sure you’re settled in fine. We pull each other up, we learn from each others’ experiences, and most importantly, we grow together.
Leave No One Behind 🌐: At AlGooru, we’re committed to offer all our tutors the most flexible and lucrative opportunities. As for students and knowledge thriving individuals, we’re committed to be providing them with the best educational services.
Here to Disrupt 🦄: *No explanation required*.
