Our take

Education has seen a whirlwind of change, from remote classrooms to increased academic ambitions, and there is a big opportunity to transform how students learn by expanding access to quality education. GoStudent is a leading K12 online tutoring marketplace aiming to facilitate this transformation.

It focuses on one-to-one tutoring, letting students and their parents pick tutors for general support or exam preparation. Tutors are tested, vetted and interviewed before they can join the platform.

The company is growing quickly. It now operates in 23 markets, including numerous countries in Latin America and Europe. It was valued at 3.2B in 2023, making it the highest-valued EdTech scale-up in Europe and putting it ahead of competitors such as Tomorrow and CoachHub. With over 23,000 tutors and 11M utilising the platform, it is now one of the biggest startups to come out of Vienna.
