Professoes de planto is a virtual platform that puts tutors and students together. The class takes place virtually through the site itself, which provides audio tools, chat and whiteboard. The student buys hours or minutes of class time, which can be used in any discipline and in any number of classes as per students discretion. Students do not need to schedule classes in advance. The site has a teacher available immediately. Mentoring lasts for the time that students need to understand the matter or solve the question since classes are counted by the minute rather than per hour. The site has a staff of trained teachers to address questions of basic and higher education students in subjects like Portuguese, mathematics, calculus, algebra, chemistry and physics, among others.
