Demo Phase|Pre-Launch
We are pleased to announce that our platform is now in its demo phase. Tiny Sprouts Education offers free mentor sessions for volunteer mentors, along with interactive games and teaching templates. We currently partner with two schools in Phuket, Thailand, where students are eager to connect with mentors and begin their learning journey.
To help support our mission, we offer digital products under our branded merchandise, with proceeds contributing to students’ school tuition. We are also working to expand our merchandise line and build partnerships with sponsors who wish to help fund educational opportunities.
As we continue developing the platform, your feedback is invaluable in ensuring it meets the needs of mentors, students, and educators. While access is currently limited, we are working diligently to expand capacity soon.
Thank you for your continued support as we create a meaningful and accessible learning experience for all.
Launch Phase (Soft Launch)
Tiny Sprouts Education is expected to be in the Launch Phase by the end of 2026! We are in the process of developing multiple additions to enhance the platform's capabilities. Things that you may see include: Expanded selection of teaching courses, a growing resource library with more templates and games you can play with the students, and system enhancement aimed at improving stability and user experience.
Once Tiny Sprouts Education has entered its Launch Phase, we will notify both our mentors and schools. We would like to explore opportunities to collaborate with like-minded organizations that align with our educational mission. This phase represents progress, not perfection and we invite you to explore the updates as they roll out and share your observations. Thank you for collaborating with us to shape this platform’s potential!

Our shared aspiration is to contribute to educational access while helping learners explore their potential. We understand that realizing such impactful outcomes is achieved through strong collective efforts and by proactively addressing the circumstances we encounter.
Portal Launch in 2026

Meet Our Founder
Rooted in Phuket, Driven by community impact.
Jane Darwin is a passionate advocate for education and community empowerment. With firsthand experience teaching English at a local school in one of Phuket’s Thailand most underserved communities, she observed the significant challenges facing many students and teachers: insufficient teaching resources, shortage of classroom support, and the limited availability of opportunities for creative learning.
Inspired by these challenges, and after further discussions with local educators and surveys with global volunteers, Jane envisioned a better way forward: a platform that connects global volunteers with students through safe, engaging virtual classrooms.
These first hand experiences formed the basis of Sprout. Early discussions exploring the needs with students, faculties, and global volunteers helped solidify the core mission: to bridge the gap in educational access and bring quality, skill-based learning to the communities that need it most. Through Sprout, she is creating a space where passion meets purpose, and where education becomes a tool for possibility, growth, and lasting changes.
