Turning Untrusted Tutoring Origins Away from Resources Act of 2025

This bill would stop the Department of Defense from making contracts with online tutoring services that are owned by companies from certain foreign countries. It widens a current rule so it’s not just about China anymore. Instead, it covers “countries of concern,” which are China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The Department of Defense and online tutoring companies tied to China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. Military families and students who use DoD-supported tutoring could be indirectly affected.
• What changes: Expands an existing ban so DoD can’t contract with foreign-owned online tutoring services from any of these four countries, not just China.
