The education platform was launched during the pandemic. As one could imagine, this could be very promising as many students were transitioning to working remotely.

Created by Sim Shagaya in 2019, uLesson provides K-12 students with high-quality and interactive learning experiences through informative tools such as a product pack of SD cards and dongles with pre-recorded videos. Students also have the option to stream the lessons.

Since its launch, the company has introduced additional features such as quizzes and a help feature to assist students with their assignments by connecting them with tutors from universities, TechCrunch reports.

Now, students can enjoy a one-to-many live class feature with polls and leaderboards for a personalized experience with DevKids, a coding class existing separately from the uLesson platform.

Although the company has scaled back from DevKids, they are working to bring the feature back by January 2022 as it has not only been beneficial to introduce coding to children but it also contributed to 30 percent of the companies revenue.

“What we want ultimately is different strata of free users that can use the app and can pay for a premium experience to attend live classes or get the homework helper,” said CEO Shagaya, according to TechCrunch.

“And because parents do want to invest in the best for their kids, one of the ways you can do that is personalized one-to-one instruction for their children, whether in coding through DevKids or math or science or English.”
