Established South African EdTech platform with +9 years of trading history, 2,300+ active tutors and a full end-to-end tutoring ecosystem — operating like an “Uber for tutors.”

The platform connects university and school students with vetted tutors. Revenue comes from two sources: a share of every lesson booked through the platform by students and parents, and tutoring programmes paid for by bursary funders on behalf of the students they fund, with usage reported to each funder through the platform.

The business includes four integrated systems: Student, Tutor, Administrator and Bursary, providing a complete end-to-end technology platform for managing the tutoring ecosystem.

BURSARY PARTNER & UNIVERSITY ECOSYSTEM EXPANSION

• Replicate the University Vendor Model: Take the proven vendor and pilot model established at the University of Pretoria and scale it across major campuses with existing tutor hubs, including UCT, Wits, UJ, UKZN, and Stellenbosch.

• National Public Sector Integration: Position the automated reporting and monitoring infrastructure to pursue enterprise-level support contracts with the Department of Higher Education and large-scale funding bodies such as NSFAS.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET ARBITRAGE

• Cross-Border Currency Advantage: Target high-income English-speaking regions — UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and Dubai — by supplying fully vetted, English-fluent university tutors at attractive foreign currency rates while maintaining strong margins.

• Standardised STEM & Commerce Modules: Export remote tutoring in high-demand, universally standardised subjects such as Engineering Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Accounting, and Computer Science, where South African university standards closely parallel global curricula.
