Tutopiya takes travelling out of the home-tutoring picture
Online-based tuition platform seeks to raise S$2 million of Series A capital over the next year
Singapore
NUHA Ghouse was a tutor in Singapore when a student at Marlborough College in Johor Bahru asked if the sessions could be held online.
At the time, she could not, and so tutored the student over the phone in 2017 and last year. Seeing the gap in the market, she founded Tutopiya, an online tutoring business that she describes as "Skype but with whiteboards".
