The question is not how we learn, but why we learn. Learning is fundamental to the progress of any individual, society, and economy. Many centuries back, organised learning – with children going to dedicated places of learning – transformed the face of education. Now, it is time to improve it further in the wake of new realities, both good and bad: good in the sense that technology has changed almost everything, including education, and bad because the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare some of the weaknesses of conventional methods of learning. 

Cluey Ltd (ASX:CLU), one of the leading education technology (Edtech) brands in Australia, identified all these new realities of today’s world ahead of taking the plunge into the online tutoring field in 2018. More on Cluey’s model later; first, it is time to explore why tech-enabled online tutoring – a major education sector disruption led by companies like Cluey – is so critical.

Technology and learning

Use of technologies such as the Internet, live video learning sessions, and a virtual reality set-up makes the teaching/learning experience more comprehensive and immersive for children than the traditional methods of teaching. Smart and interactive boards are fast replacing plain whiteboards in schools. Devices such as laptops, tablets, and interactive whiteboards have become fundamental to learning.

Cluey – an online personalised tutoring support network for school-going students – identified this reality and emerged as an early mover to meet the growing demand for infusing innovative advancements in the education sector in afterschool learning.

In Australia, Cluey has full national coverage for school years 2-10 in Mathematics and English and for school years 11 and 12 in Mathematics, English, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. In New Zealand, it offers tutoring services to students in school years 4-11 in Mathematics and English.

Cluey’s subsidiary, Code Camp, caters to children’s needs around coding and digital skills, which are in high demand, as highlighted by the service provider. 

Cluey’s virtual learning model

Students can participate in live face-to- face home-based virtual learning classes. Often, an engaging virtual learning session can provide a child a better understanding of a complicated subject such as Mathematics or Physics than the more conventional school classroom can.

For example, Cluey, provides technologically smart and engaging face-to-face schoolwork support to students. This provides adequate room for the child to learn traditional concepts in an innovative but extremely productive, personalised and immersive way.

Better results

Tutoring methods have to undergo a change to suit the needs of today’s tech-friendly generation.

No two learners have the same approach and inclination towards learning. Cluey understood that one child could be good at literature but might need focused support in Mathematics. Another child might have an inclination towards Physics and Chemistry. Some require catching, up, whilst others need support to keep up or excel.  Cluey’s learning programs supported by their tutors specialise in personalising the learning, with a focus on improving the grades of students, whilst at the same time, promoting students’ engagement in a subject.

Cluey leads the way in Edtech

The biggest market participant in the field of online tutoring, Cluey is a name to reckon with in Australia. Cluey’s tutoring services are tech-driven and highly specialised, thanks to their in-house developed content and learning programs coupled with their tutors who are always happy to engage fully with every child in either a one-on-one or small group option, and deliver exciting and immersive sessions for their learners.

Having been approved as a provider by the NSW Department of Education as part of their Covid Intensive Learning Support Program, Cluey has partnered with a number of schools in NSW to provide tutoring programs that serve as extended support to students.

At the 2022 Australian Growth Awards, Cluey won the most coveted accolade – Technology Growth Company of the Year.

Here are a few of the growth catalysts outlined by Cluey for FY23 and beyond:
