Jaimes highlights that they have transformed education from day one by providing a catalog of teachers that fits the budget or knowledge needs of the users. “We have a catalog that covers more than 2,000 topics, from the most popular subject, such as school support, to language tutoring, leisure activities, technology, etc.”

Once this is done, one is chosen and the registration process continues.”
