SINGAPORE-based digital learning platform, mysavvytutor (MST) has just officially launched in the Philippines to enable Filipino users to connect and share knowledge amid physical distancing protocols in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic.
MST seeks to increase the accessibility of quality education by bridging the gap between instructors and learners here and abroad. Through this end-to-end platform, educators worldwide have the chance to list, advertise and conduct their classes for its international network of learners and collect payments securely.
“Due to a lack of flexible and transparent options, most people are skeptical about online education. They need an instant service that is easy, transparent, and personal. Therefore, to ensure peace of mind for learners and quality during these times and beyond, we have launched our on-demand web-based app,” said Kelly Te, founder of MST.
Using the online platform, students and their parents can quickly connect to local and foreign teachers for instruction. The app, likewise, provides instructors with quality resources and functions, allowing them to bring education business online and conveniently on one channel.
Students have an option for their learning formats. For instance, they can choose one-on-one or group classes. What’s more, they can screen the educator’s profiles (e.g. experience, ratings, reviews, and prices) across multiple topics to accurately fit their needs. For example, they can browse the categories of educators and the courses that meet their unique educational needs, schedule classes, and meet with instructors in a virtual classroom in real-time.
“It has always been my dream to create a technology solution related to education and a product that can shape the lives of our younger generation. MST was created to enable everyone to have access to learning opportunities, regardless of their background, age and where they come from. Everyone can enjoy learning and make friends at the same time!” she noted.
Another feature of the app is that it enables educators to use the platform to elevate their teaching abilities, making use of virtual classrooms and performance analytics tools, such as the online whiteboard, to complement and improve their online programs.
“We want to introduce a one-stop, collaborative, sustainable and vibrant learning experience to users of all ages that combines e-learning and top collaborations with leading educators in a flexible, transparent and interactive way in real time. With the on-demand virtual learning app, we provide educators with the opportunity to run classes online for their existing students independently and to grow internationally,” Te said.
Since its launch in January of this year, MST has tied up with more than 20 institutions and partners. It still looks to bring more educational partners online.
“We continue to welcome more partners, develop our suite of intuitive tools and games, and expand our social, virtual learning and teaching environment to create a peer-shared colearning space where learners and educators can connect with friends as they interact, play and celebrate achievements together,” Te stressed.
