About Us
Our team at 3RealMates is always working towards innovation in education to provide development opportunities for our youth and their future.
Our Goal
Our goal is to make a notable difference in the traditional ways education is viewed. We are looking to make education equal, accessible, have a global reach and fun to teach and learn. 3 RealMates aim is to provide a platform where you can work online from the safety of your home, on topics matched to your interests and with flexible working hours suited to you.
Our Story
The idea of 3RealMates was born when a friend of Belinda’s (our founder and CEO) contacted her from China to ask if Belinda’s son who is a native English speaker, could speak to her son in English so he could practice for his English exam. Belinda then noticed a gap in the system and thus created a solution that eventuated into a globalised program that looks to benefit both the students and tutors.
3RealMate aims to create a generation of young people who will thrive in any environment and take their experiences with them into the future, as they become the leaders of tomorrow. By providing a flexible and easy to use online platform, our efforts are directed towards the training, mentoring and empowerment of young Australians.
We work closely with local schools, councils and the Department of Education to help improve and contribute to the education system in Australia while providing safe and beneficial work opportunities for the next generation.
