Ostathi Jordan: A Microsoft-Backed Revolution in Online Learning and Professional Training

AMMAN— Ostathi, a new digital marketplace for online tutoring and professional training, has officially launched in Jordan with support from Microsoft’s Founders Hub. Developed by UniHouse, a global educational consultancy based in the UK, Ostathi delivers an innovative platform for learners, professionals, and educators—designed specifically to meet the evolving needs of Jordan’s education and job market.

Already planning regional expansion into Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Iraq, and Turkey, Ostathi is positioned to become a key player in the Middle East’s edtech transformation.

What Is Ostathi?

Ostathi (meaning “My Teacher” in Arabic) is a digital platform that connects students, professionals, and certified trainers across Jordan. From academic support to skill development, it serves as a one-stop destination for personalized, flexible learning.

“We’re not just building a tutoring app; we’re building a learning ecosystem where everyone in Jordan can teach, learn, and grow.”

— Wafa Al Adwan, Project Director, UniHouse

The platform offers:

  • Academic Tutoring (Grades 1–12): National Curriculum, Tawjihi, IB, IGCSE, A-Levels, and American Diploma
  • Professional & Career Skills Courses: Digital Marketing, PMP, IT, Business, Languages, and more
  • Free CEFR English Assessment Tool
  • Smart Virtual Classroom: Video chat, whiteboard, session recording, translation, and secure payment
  • Ratings, Reviews & Trainer Profiles for trust and quality
  • Mobile-Ready Interface for learning anytime, anywhere

Built for Jordan — Not Just Translated for It

Unlike global platforms that localize content as an afterthought, Ostathi was designed from day one for Jordan. It aligns directly with the national curriculum and makes it easy for parents to find certified Tawjihi, IGCSE, or IB tutors nearby—whether in Amman, Irbid, Aqaba, or remote areas.

Each educator is vetted by UniHouse’s education experts, ensuring learners receive trusted instruction from experienced, verified teachers.

Creating Income Opportunities for Local Educators

Ostathi also empowers local talent. Whether you're a recent graduate, a retired teacher, or a freelancer in IT or business—you can start teaching or training from home with zero overhead. The platform handles scheduling, payment, and communication, making it easy to build a sustainable career online.

Jordan has over 100,000 educators—many of whom lack access to flexible work. Ostathi helps bridge that gap, especially for women and educators in underserved regions.

Hyper-Localized Search = Better Learning Matches

Ostathi’s advanced search filters allow users to connect with local experts in seconds. Whether you're looking for:

  • English tutoring in Amman
  • Tawjihi math help in Zarqa
  • PMP trainer in Irbid

Trusted by Microsoft: Secure, Scalable, and Smart

Built on Microsoft’s secure cloud infrastructure, Ostathi guarantees:

  • Enterprise-grade performance
  • Regional data privacy compliance
  • Integration of upcoming features like live translation and AI-powered search
