EdTech software development.
From the team that runs a tutoring platform.

We run the entire engineering behind Qlive, a one-to-one online tutoring platform for students from KG to Grade 12 in more than twenty countries. Thousands of classes a week, a live classroom, operations tooling, assessments and a parent app. That experience is what we bring to education products.

What we have learned running one

Since 2025 we have been the engineering team behind Qlive: a one-to-one online tutoring platform for students from kindergarten to Grade 12, in more than twenty countries. Not a vendor working a ticket queue, but a partner in the roadmap. Thousands of classes a week run through systems we built and operate.

The lessons are practical. The schedule is the product. The live class has to work every single time. Parents want to see progress without asking. Teachers need tools that take work away, not add it. And the operations team behind all of it needs software that is as good as what the learner sees.

What we build

The classroom. Live sessions, shared workspaces, interactive activities, recordings. Reliable first, rich second.

Scheduling and operations. Matching, booking, rescheduling, attendance, tutor management, and the exceptions that make up a real week. This is the engine, and it is where most education products quietly fail.

Teacher tools. Lesson planning, materials, assessments, notes. Built to take work off a teacher’s plate, with AI drafting where it helps and the teacher deciding.

Learner and parent apps. Progress, schedules, reports, messages. A parent portal that answers the question before it is asked.

Assessments and reporting. From a quick check at the end of a class to the report a parent reads, generated from real activity rather than assembled by hand.

AI, in its place. Reading conversations so nothing slips, drafting for teachers, answering routine questions. See our approach.

How we go about it

Foundations settle the first flows: who the three users are, what a week looks like, what the live moment needs. Then a first version in two to three month phases, with working software every week and real classes running before anything is called finished. Then we stay. Education products are never done; term changes, curricula change, the business grows into new countries.

Working with a school or an institute

If you run classes today on spreadsheets, WhatsApp and phone calls, the first step is usually digitising the operation: the schedule, attendance and fees in one place, with parents able to see what they need. The learner-facing product comes after, on a foundation that already works.

Questions

People ask us

What is different about building for education?
Three groups use the product at once, with different needs: the learner, the teacher and the parent or administrator. A schedule is the heart of it and it changes constantly. And the live moment, the class itself, has to work every time. We design for all three from day one.
Can you build a live classroom?
Yes. We build and run one: video, shared workspaces, interactive activities, and the reliability that a scheduled class demands. Where a third-party service is the right call for part of it, we integrate rather than reinvent.
Do you handle operations tooling as well as the learner-facing product?
It is most of the work. Scheduling, tutor management, attendance, assessments, reports, parent communication, billing. The learner sees a fraction of the system; the team lives in the rest, and we build it as a first-class product.
Where does AI fit in education products?
Reading chats and voice notes so nothing slips, drafting reports and lesson material for a teacher to edit, answering routine parent questions instantly. Never grading a child's future on its own. People stay in charge.
