"The Little Einsteins": under this title, Sarah Vitello, a student at THI Business School, has been tutoring online in the basic subjects of German, math and English for students from second to sixth grades. She held her classes in November and December 2020 via Zoom video conferencing for children of all school types. Vitello had advertised her campaign via Facebook and generated such a great response that she could barely manage it. With the courses, the 24-year-old business administration student wanted to support children who were struggling in school - mostly due to months of home schooling in the wake of the Corona pandemic and the resulting gaps in their education.

Vitello has had her action credited as a so called social project for her studies. Such projects are mandatory in all bachelor's degree programs at THI Business School.
