Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Cours Galien: Private French preparatory course provider for medical studies (Concours PACES/PASS) targeting the same student base as Tutorat Lyon Est. Whereas Tutorat Lyon Est operates free inside the host university, Cours Galien monetizes similar content (mock exams, methodology, QCM banks) at a regional/national scale.

Others

• ANEMF (Association Nationale des Étudiants en Médecine de France): National association of French medical students that co-administers the Ministry agréments for Tutorat Lyon Est and analogous student tutorats. They are not a tutoring provider themselves, but they are the gating quality-recognition body governing Tutorat Lyon Est's official status.
• Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 — Scolarité PASS: Host institution's PASS administrative office ([email protected]), the immediate upstream partner controlling enrollment, curriculum, and agréement coordination. Not a tutoring competitor but the parent ecosystem within which Tutorat Lyon Est operates.

Direct peers

• Tutorat Santé Sorbonne Université: Université-affiliated PASS/LAS tutoring association run by Sorbonne medical students in Paris, structurally identical to Tutorat Lyon Est (volunteer tutors, free services, agréments, mock exams, QCM banks). Provides a useful scaling benchmark for the same operating model in a larger urban market.
• Tutorat Lyon Sud: Companion PASS/LAS tutoring organization serving Université Lyon 1's Lyon Sud medical faculty. Tutorat Lyon Est explicitly partnered with this entity during COVID-19 to deliver joint materials to high schoolers, reflecting mirrored service models within the same city.
