Here's how TeacherInd is offering one-to-one learning to students

Ed-tech in India:

The promise for scalable customized learning has played a significant role in the rise of ed-tech. The way we study, interact with classmates and teachers, and our overall interest in the same subjects are not universal. 

Everyone learns at his or her speed and in their way. Edtech technologies make it easier for teachers to design tailored lesson plans and learning experiences that foster inclusiveness and improve the learning skills of all students, regardless of age or ability.

TeacherInd aims to make education accessible to all people through the methodology of one student and one teacher, as well as to motivate and encourage students through an earn while you learn in the platform facility.

The Inception of TeacherInd

TeacherInd connects students with qualified teachers from reputable educational backgrounds, and it comes with features that meet the needs of both tutors and students.

The startup was founded by Joyal Joseph Joy and Shafeeq Usman when the duo saw that there are next to no educational avenues available for engineering students outside of their college lecture halls.

The duo noticed that in a classroom environment students don't get individual attention thus a gap is generated in the flow of knowledge, so to bridge the gap they came up with the idea of providing one on one tuition classes at extremely affordable rates.

The duo, in the beginning, started the venture in their college premises then within few months they started providing their services in other colleges as well. Soon they expanded their services by starting to provide education for grades 1 to 12 because they noticed that the tutors employed were hight educated and also well versed and capable of teaching other grades as well.

Headquartered at CET Technological Business Incubator, College of Engineering Trivandrum. The team consists of over 100 active tutors selected from a pool of tutors through earn while learn clubs and after a rigorous screening process.

Services provided by the startup:

TeacherInd is currently the largest sector-specific tuition service in Kerala, and they intend to roll out this methodology across the country in the upcoming months that is to foster the incentive culture, TeacherInd is also establishing earn-while-learn communities throughout colleges. 

The startup plans to introduce robotics using TI-Bots at the school level which will help the students learn science and maths efficiently.

With the implementation of robotic kits, the startup wants to foster a better understanding of the concepts and the final prototyping by leveraging virtual reality in the classrooms.

The startup provides multi-tier courses to students and charges a part of their tuition payments as platform fees. The remainder is the tutor's monthly salary.

Students in grades 1 to 7 can use teacherInd to get online 1:1 tutoring in Math, Science, Hindi, English, EVS, Social Studies, and Malayalam. Students in grades 8-10 can use teacherInd to get online 1:1 tutoring in Math, Science, Hindi, English, physics, chemistry, biology, and other subjects. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English, Biology, Computer Science, Accountancy, and other subjects are taught to students in grades 11 and 12. Engineering students seeking a Bachelor of Technology degree can receive tuition for all fields of study.
