A Bengaluru startup offers mobile tutoring for school kids — in atomic doses
Remember the revolution that a shampoo sachet wrought in India in an earlier era: Why buy a big bottle when all you wanted was enough for one bath
Two Bangalore technopreneurs, Jayadev Gopalakrishnan and Gokul Janga, have applied the same principal to high school tutoring.
Your child may not need costly coaching for a full subject — just some help in some tough portions. So all the student needs to do, is download the HashLearn app, on a phone, from Google Play, select the topic ( class 8-12, Physics, Chemistry, Maths or Biology or entrance tests like NEET, CET) and request connection to a tutor. A qualified teacher (usually an IIT, BITS or AIIMS grad) will connect within 90 seconds. The tutor will solve your queries in an interactive session that typically lasts up to 20 minutes. An amount of Rs 30 will be deducted by your service provider.
Says CEO Jayadev: “HashLearn addresses a universal problem among students — that of wanting personalized attention.”
Meanwhile, the app charges Rs 333 for a monthly subscription.
