about the program

Educational SUPport (in Ukrainian “Osvytnyi Sup”) is the largest program for catching up with children’s knowledge in Ukraine, using tutoring and mentoring approaches to teach schoolchildren. As part of the program, students in grades 5-11 receive free additional classes in the school curriculum on missed or not learned topics in online or offline formats with elements of socio-emotional learning. Classes are held in 3-12 week cycles, or “waves”, during which children gain knowledge in mathematics, Ukrainian language, physics, chemistry, English language, history of Ukraine, computer science, or geography and receive socio-emotional support

Thank you for the support, patience, and knowledge that the teachers so generously passed on. Thanks to the explanations, the complex became clear, and the formulas were not so scary. You not only helped with the lessons, but also showed that knowledge can be interesting and accessible. We wish grateful students, inspiration in work, and joy from every achievement of your wards!

I thank the teachers for their wonderful attitude toward our children. My daughter always participated with great enthusiasm. After the first lessons, she said, “Here, no one yells if you don’t understand something or give a wrong answer.” Thanks to these lessons, my daughter stopped being afraid to answer in class. Thank you for giving children the opportunity to learn without the fear of making mistakes.

The teachers were really great, and we could have fun with them. We solved problems to understand how to do this and that. We even got ahead using my book!

Honestly, I think “Educational Soup” is perfect just as it is right now. Nothing needs to be added or changed. Everything’s a ten out of ten. The friendly atmosphere and the teachers — it’s just perfetto, as the Italians say!

The teachers treated me with warmth and respect. At school, if you ask a question, you might hear, “Weren’t you paying attention in class?” In the program, if you don’t understand something, they listen and explain it to you respectfully. That’s why I didn’t want to leave these teachers.

The teacher on the wave presented the material really well. She didn’t get hung up on complicated terms, but explained everything clearly and simply using real-life examples.

Your project is simply incredible. The teachers—both mentors and tutors—are truly top-level. Thanks to your lessons, Andrii’s knowledge has improved: he started understanding biology, and last year he also studied math and Ukrainian language. He looked forward to every class and never needed a single reminder—he always remembered on his own. It’s been an amazing experience. We’re so grateful to have been part of the program and that my son gained so much knowledge. Please keep going—we truly dream of joining again. Thank you sincerely for everything!

I’m so grateful to your project for helping strengthen my son’s knowledge. He participated several times, worked with both mentors and tutors, and was always very happy with the experience. He enjoyed every teacher he worked with and never wanted to miss a session. It’s a wonderful project with wonderful educators. Thank you to everyone involved! I truly wish all schools in Ukraine had teachers like these.
