❌ The Problem

Education is one of the largest and most influential industries in the world, with +20% of the global population being students.

Yet, today’s education system still follows the assembly-line approach from the industrial revolution—leaving students stuck with standardized, one-size-fits-all learning methods that create three major pains:

  1. Compromised learning
  2. Emotional stress
  3. Wasted time

These intensify towards the exam, leaving a glaring problem to be solved.
