EDGE Tutor: Recognizing Filipino Talent in Global Education
We’re proud to announce that EDGE Tutor International, a leading Filipino EdTech firm, has been named a finalist for the PIEoneer of the Year 2025 award. In addition, our Founder and CEO, Henry Motte de la Motte, has been shortlisted for the Emerging Leader – APAC & South Asia category, recognitions that validate EDGE Tutor’s mission to elevate local talent and provide global teaching access.
The PIEoneer Awards honor innovation, impact, and leadership in the global education sector. Their mission is to celebrate organizations and individuals who have genuinely changed the landscape of international education, making learning more accessible and transformative for students worldwide.
EDGE Tutor’s recognition at the PIEoneer Awards shows the impact of our work. We use technology and training to help Filipino educators succeed globally. Our tutors receive ongoing support and professional development. This helps them teach with confidence and skill.
We’ve connected hundreds of Filipino tutors to students around the world. So far, we’ve delivered over 1 million online lessons in more than 30 countries. Each lesson is proof that Filipino educators can lead in global education. With the right tools and support, they are helping shape the future of learning everywhere.
Under Henry’s leadership, EDGE Tutor has become a trusted partner for global education organizations seeking teacher solutions that combine high-quality instruction with cost-effective scalability. Henry’s approach has always focused on leveraging technology to enhance, never replace, the role of human educators. This commitment has driven EDGE Tutor’s rapid growth and ensured that Filipino tutors remain at the heart of the global learning experience.
For Henry, this recognition reflects the collective effort of Filipino educators, global partners, and the entire EDGE Tutor team. It’s a testament to the mission we’ve championed from day one: making high-quality and inclusive education accessible to learners everywhere.
As EDGE Tutor looks to the future, our commitment remains unwavering. We’ll continue to invest in technology and partnerships that amplify Filipino excellence, connecting our passionate educators with learners worldwide and driving inclusive, high-quality education for all.
