With unemployment over 30%, and youth unemployment over 50%, Lebanon and the Lebanese are suffering under the current circumstances. I have more friends working in Gulf countries or doing their masters degrees abroad, then I do here.

Money is short, and jobs are short too. The traditional ways of making money are kinda no longer valid under the extreme corruption and lack of vision from Lebanon’s government.

That’s why new startups that are disrupting Lebanon’s failing economy might be the key to many young people trying to make ends meet without being forced to leave Lebanon in search of a better life.

Synkers

I discovered Synkers a few weeks ago, and loved the idea behind it. Synkers is a Lebanese startup that’s transforming the way you can find a tutor, or be one. It’s a very user-friendly app, available on Android and iOS.

The idea is, you can select the course or subject you need help in, and then browse the verified tutors, their ratings and their reviews. You then select your favorite, choose a time and date, and payment method (cash at the session, or card via the app).

Synkers has more than 600 verified tutors so far, and 6000 active users in their community. If you don’t need a tutor for your university or school work, you can become a tutor!

If you had good grades in school or university, and pass the interview and verification process, you can make good money helping others in their studies for school, university or standardized tests. It’s also not just in Lebanon, with several other places like the UAE also available.

So, if you like tutoring, and want to earn money this summer tutoring others, but don’t want the hassle that usually entails (finding the students, arranging payment, etc.) You can do all of that via an app, with a few taps now.
