🎯 The goal?‍

Create a personalized structure for each student's learning based on their exact capabilities! No more repetitive classes and one-size-fits-all tests — meet them exactly where they are and help them learn the best they can!

• This means testing them on their strengths and weaknesses, setting them up with the right live classes and 1:1 tutorials and more.

‍

📝 It starts with a test

Founded in 2020, Explico starts by giving subject-based tests based on students' level/age. Then, AI and machine learning understand each student's strengths and weaknesses in each subject, topic and concept!

• They generate analytic reports for each subject like Math, Science and English.

‍

😉 Then personalizes the rest

After the initial tests, they give students personalized assessments throughout their learning journey!

• World-class. They benchmark students against local and international students' overall standards.
• This means getting more questions on topics and concepts students are struggling with and helping them master what they're good at.

Explico also makes personalized learning recommendations beyond testing too! Along the entire learning journey, they help students track their progress on each sub-topic, concept and subject.

• They'll select the exact peers students should be grouped into to maximize learning based on their knowledge.
• They also recommend specific weekly live and 1:1 sessions the student should attend and give other adaptive feedback!

💰 Money matters

They're both B2B and B2C! If you want your child to use Explico, they have freemium plans up until a 3-month $800 plan.

🚀 What's next

With the $$$, they'll keep building up their learning platform and start expanding, starting with Southeast Asia and Africa!

• Vietnam and the Philippines are their first stops for expansion this Q1 2023.
