Building pathways to your future potential, today.
Eduro Learning offers personalized remote professional learning for educators in a community-driven environment. Because learning online should not have to mean learning alone.
We are most proud of the fact that so many of our Eduro clients are repeat customers. When you learn with Eduro you become part of our learning community. There’s always another opportunity to grow with Eduro!
We are a small business driven to ensure the quality of professional learning is nothing short of excellent.
Eduro seeks to nourish the minds that feed the future. We put our learning opportunities through a constant process of feedback, criticism, and renewal. You will not find a one-size-fits-all approach on anything we create. We know educators, schools and students deserve more than that.
OUR MISSION
We are in relentless pursuit of better professional learning.
We cultivate a culture where learners are honored because we believe they deserve customized, relevant, authentic learning experiences.
We commit to doing professional learning better, because ‘good enough’ has never been the story of how change is made.
That's why we are redefining professional learning for the modern educator.
As you know, research shows that job-embedded professional development has the most impact on teacher professional growth and student learning.
This is one of the many reasons why, here at Eduro, we do professional learning differently.
We offer professional learning opportunities that:
- involve a community of like-minded learners (so you can share strategies and bounce ideas off of colleagues immediately and over an extended duration to see the impact of your learning);
- are practical and include relevant tasks - not just busy work (so you can use your new learning immediately); and
- take into consideration current best practices for online learning (so you can apply it with your own students in your classroom).

Eduro has been integral in two different milestones in my professional life. First when exploring instructional coaching as a possible pivot in my career and second private mentoring during a critical interviewing process moving from one school to another, from one country to another.
Kim’s coaching and relevant questions really helped me think about my goals, my practice, my value. Her professionalism and compassion helped me see a model of great leadership and problem solving – the kind of coaching I hope to be able to do someday.
It’s been great to feel like a phenomenal company like Eduro has my back through this time of intense transition. I trust Kim and her team completely and have great respect for the work they do. Thank you so much!

Kim Cofino
Kim Cofino, Founder & CEO
Hi, I’m Kim, Eduro’s co-Founder and CEO! I’m currently based in Bangkok, Thailand. Prior to moving to Bangkok (a second time), I worked in international schools for 20 years, primarily as a Technology and Learning Coach, including Munich International School, Germany; Mont’Kiara International School in KL, Malaysia; International School Bangkok, in Thailand; and Yokohama International School, Japan.
One of my favorite parts of my role here at Eduro is helping people grow through coaching and mentoring. I love being able to work with coaches around the world as the Premium Mentor for our Eduro Learning The Coach Microcredential; as well as supporting educators in a variety of roles through our personalized mentoring in our Private Mentoring program. I am constantly inspired by the amazing conversations I have as the host of the #coachbetter podcast and YouTube series, which features educators from around the world and their perspectives on coaching.
All of these experiences support my responsibility as being one of our key content creators, In addition to creating and facilitating many of Eduro’s online courses, I also get the privilege of building new content for our clients on a regular basis. Recently, I interviewed over 70 successful female leaders around the world for our newest in-depth online course: Women Who Lead. I am proud to have co-authored the book: Your Connected Classroom: A Practical Guide for Teachers and excited to be working on Your Coaching Journey: A Practical Guide for Aspiring and Experienced Coaches.
My time outside of education consists mostly of lifting weights. I compete in the sport of powerlifting, for which I train 6 days a week and carefully track my nutrition to stay in my weight class. My current best lifts (in competition) are: squat: 120kg, bench: 60kg, deadlift: 140kg. As a resident of Thailand, I am proud to represent the Thai National Powerlifting team in the under 63kg M1(40-49 years old) class. Competing in powerlifting and tracking nutrition has been a seven-year journey for me and I am passionate about helping others reach their goals in our new #masterminded TeamFit online learning experience.
I know that every educator has personal and professional goals, and I believe that coaching conversations should be available to all educators, even if you don’t have a coach in your school. Work with me through one of our private mentoring packages if you’re ready to take that next step in your professional learning journey. 20

Learning with Eduro in the COETAIL program made me a better educator.
I learned with amazingly creative, engaged and talented educators that were an inspiration to strive for my best, try new things, find my own ways with tech literacy and pedagogy.
Unknowingly, it also prepared me to teach virtually.

Our Story
Our story is always changing because we’re always learning.
2014
When we started Eduro Learning in 2014, based on our experience with the Learning 2 conference and other school-based and regional professional development, our aim was to focus on face-to-face events like workshops and conferences.
However, we very quickly and unexpectedly found ourselves facilitating long term on-site professional learning with public schools in the US.
2015-2018
We spent several years focusing on local professional learning in public schools in the US.
However, with our experience founding COETAIL, and as global educators ourselves, we wanted to be able to offer this kind of learning to educators everywhere. So, during this time we also continued to refine and build our online learning opportunities like COETAIL, The Coach Microcredential, and our online courses and workbooks.
During this time, we also started developing custom online courses for schools around the world, allowing them to customize the content, the timeline and the structure of our courses to better meet school needs. Custom cohorts continue to be a strong focus for Eduro, within our short term online courses, as well as long-term learning with The Coach and COETAIL.
2019
As we saw the impact on the professional growth of, and positive feedback from, our online learning participants, we realized that’s where our passion and expertise intersect. So, once again, we’re evolving.
Eduro is proud to be redefining professional learning by: providing a broader perspective on innovative learning featuring inspiring educators from around the world within our MastermindEd offerings; ensuring all learners feel engaged, empowered and connected even if they’re literally on the other side of the planet; and designing sustainable and flexible online learning experiences that allow teachers to learn over time at their own pace.
We highly recommend schools consider supporting teams of learners to participate in our online learning experiences so they can apply their new knowledge with a cohort right within your school context.
2020
We are excited to expand our offering of in-depth online learning with our brand new Women Who Lead program. We have spent most of this calendar year interviewing over 70 successful female leaders around the world to bring together their personal stories in one place. Women Who Lead has led us to partner with ECIS, and Teachers College of San Juaquin in order to provide even more options for your professional development.
Eduro has evolved over the years because we are always learning, and that’s why we’re so passionate about redefining professional learning.
When I started taking courses with Eduro, I needed to learn how to properly and responsibly integrate technology into my classroom. I was living in a country with limited internet access and students did not have devices.
Despite these hurdles, Eduro provided me the skills and knowledge I needed to be successful.
Since then I’ve continued taking courses with Eduro and find they are always relevant, immediately applicable to my classroom, and manageable with a full time teaching schedule.
