Company mission
Sophia's mission is to reimagine education as we bring on-demand private tuition and online education options to clients both in the UK and from around the world.
Our take
Sophia is a UK-based on-demand marketplace for tutoring. The ed-tech startup allows parents to easily find qualified tutors who provide online educational support via its app.
Sophia vets the tutors in order to ensure high-quality teaching through its platform. Alongside one-on-one tutoring, the company offers small group lessons and extra-curricular courses (e.g. book club, Minecraft coding, and debating). The business model of the company involves taking a fixed commission per session booked on its platform.
The startup has recently raised £580k, which will be invested in customer acquisition and in the development of the app in order to be able to serve an increasing number of customers.
