Profitable Edtech Platform - Fully Remote For Sale

Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa
Asking Price:
R1,500,000 Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Sales Revenue:
R750,000
Cash Flow:
R500K - R1.5M

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 students with tutors through a two-sided subscription marketplace. Tutors pay a subscription to be listed and prioritised on the platform, while students can subscribe to receive priority tutor placement. This creates a scalable marketplace model with recurring subscription revenue potential. Our main revenue stream is from lessons conducted on the platform, where we take a cut of each lesson.

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

Key Selling Points

Expansion Potential:

BURSARY PARTNER & UNIVERSITY ECOSYSTEM EXPANSION

• Scale Tier-1 Bursary Accounts: Expand beyond current active contracts — Mastercard Foundation, Feenix Fund / FirstRand, Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, and ISFAP — into major prospective programmes, including Dell Young Leaders (Michael & Susan Dell Foundation), Sikelela Scholars, and corporate education funds.

• 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.

• Expatriate & Diaspora K-12 Support: Capture private walk-in demand across expat hubs, particularly Dubai and the UK, requiring affordable 1-on-1 and group tutoring for Cambridge, IB, and British curriculum modules.
