Scaling Online Learning for Students and Teachers

Entrepreneur Wyatt Oren co-founded Applejax, a platform that enables parents to hire credentialed teachers for online or in-person private tutoring. The platform aims to provide an environment where students and teachers can collaborate through a simple, intuitive interface. As schools transition from traditional classroom settings to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Applejax offers solutions for creating a successfully blended learning environment that includes both online and in-person education. The platform provides live video, virtual whiteboard, screen share, full-length recordings, and multilayer security for data protection. It also facilitates one-on-one distance learning, personalized tutoring, curriculum plans, session recordings, and crowdfunding for classroom supplies. Applejax is exploring the growing segment of learning pod services for small groups of students looking for credentialed teachers as an alternative to in-person large classrooms.
