- Swiflearn aims to become a respected learning platform for K-10 students
Swiflearn, an online tuition platform, has raised an undisclosed amount in a seed round from Stellaris Venture Partners and Venture Highway, with participation from Utsav Somani, Founder of AngelList India. The company was founded by Abhinav Agarwal and Anand Bakode in 2019.
The company will utilize these funds to become a respected learning platform for K-10 students looking for personalised learning for their school studies and competitive exams.
In a media statement, Swiflearn co-founder Abhinav Agarwal , said,
“The focus is on personal learning and hence our batches are never more than five students. It ensures personal attention for each student from the teacher, enabling every student to ask doubts freely during the class. The classes are a two-way interactive format and teachers use in-house developed content, pedagogy, testing tools, and learning tracking mechanisms. Parents receive timely updates about their child’s class participation, homework completion and learning progress. They also get to work on designed practice tests. The classes mirror school schedules for the maximum benefit of students.”
Anand Bakode, co-founder of Swiflearn, said,
“Teachers are at the heart of what we do and at Swiflearn. They are selected through a rigorous selection process. The in-house team dedicates a lot of time on teacher training, capability building, orientation on using technology tools to deliver engaging online classes as well as to track students’ learning from technology. Our support in terms of content, lesson plans, assessments, tests, training, scheduling removes all the overhead work burdens of teachers and reduces the barrier for someone to become a great teacher and deliver great classes. We see this as a respectable, long-term income stream opportunity for many people, especially current school teachers, tutors, homemakers, and fresh graduates.”
Swiflearn are trying to reinvent the learning methodologies for school going students by creating a completely online avatar of tuition classes. These are live, interactive, 2 way, small batch classes of up to 5 students ensuring personal attention on each student, and being completely online this provides teachers with an opportunity to expand their reach to new location students resulting in more earnings and satisfaction.
