TUTORAT SANTE LYON SUD

What TUTORAT SANTE LYON SUD does

Tutorat Santé Lyon Sud is a non-profit student association founded in 2014 and operating under the academic umbrella of Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 at the Faculty of Medicine and Maïeutique Lyon Sud Charles Mérieux in Oullins, France. The organization delivers free tutoring, academic preparation, and student support services for first-year health studies students enrolled in the PASS (Parcours d'Accès Spécifique Santé) and L.AS (Licence avec Accès Santé) programs. Its service portfolio includes weekly quizzes (colles), mock exams (examens blancs), printed and digital course materials (packs polys, ronéos, annales), methodology sessions, mentoring (parrainage), permanent office hours (permanences), oral exam preparation, mental health support, and pre-entry orientation programs for high school students (Stage Lycéen).

The association is student-led, with approximately 130 volunteer tutors drawn from second- and third-year health studies cohorts who design, organize, and deliver all activities in collaboration with faculty professors and university administration. Technology infrastructure relies on standard university-provided tools — Claroline Connect and Spiral learning management systems for digital course distribution, Discord for community forums and remote permanence sessions, and Google Forms for registration — without proprietary technology or AI components. The association has progressively built a recognized national profile, earning silver agréments from ANEMF and ANEPF (2015, 2016, 2017), a gold agrément (2018), and ministerial agréments in 2019 and 2025 with PASS and LAS labels.

Revenue mechanics are non-commercial: the organization operates as a freemium service, with all tutoring, mock exams, mentorship, and digital materials provided free of charge. The only revenue-generating item is printed course packs sold at cost price to cover printing expenses. Operations are funded by the parent university and volunteer labor, with no external investors, no commercial pricing structure, and no paid customer relationships. Customer segments include first-year health students (primary), high school students exploring health career pathways, and reorienting students considering transitions to or from health studies, all served within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region with extensions to the Aubenas campus and international students via visioconférence.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Studyrama: Confirmed partner hosting the orientation salons (Studyrama, Salon de l'Étudiant) where Tutorat Santé Lyon Sud markets to prospective students; adjacent ecosystem enabler rather than a direct competitor.
• SOIE - Service d'Orientation et d'Insertion professionnelle des Étudiants: University orientation service at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 that collaborates with Tutorat Santé Lyon Sud at education fairs; provides complementary orientation rather than competing tutoring services.

Broad incumbents

• ANEPF (Association Nationale des Étudiants en Pharmacie de France): National pharmacy student federation that co-awards agréments to PASS/L.AS tutorats alongside ANEMF, providing sector-wide coordination that overlaps with Tutorat Santé Lyon Sud's recognition framework.
• ANEMF (Association Nationale des Étudiants en Médecine de France): National federation that awards the gold and silver agréments to medical tutorats and is co-issuer of the ministerial accreditation; operates at industry-coordination level rather than as a single-campus tutoring service.
• Prép'Academy Santé: Commercial French prep platform offering paid PASS/L.AS preparation programs, mock exams, and methodology courses; competes for the same first-year health student audience with a paid rather than free model.

Direct peers

• Tutorat Santé Sorbonne Université: Comparable student-run PASS/L.AS tutoring service at Sorbonne Université, delivering the same ministerial-agrément model of free colles, mock exams, and orientation support for first-year health studies students in Paris.
• Tutorat Santé Lyon Est: Sister student-led tutoring association at the Lyon-Est campus of Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, offering the same PASS/L.AS tutoring, colles, and mock exams to first-year health students in the same metro. Confirmed as a collaborator on immersion days.

Emerging players

• Réussir Medsup: Commercial health-studies prep provider offering intensive PASS programs with paid tutoring; an emerging private-sector alternative to free student-run tutorats like Tutorat Santé Lyon Sud.
