Everest Education

What Everest Education does

Everest Education (operating as E2) is a Ho Chi Minh City-based private education company that delivers supplemental K-12 academic programs and college admissions counseling to students in Vietnam. Founded in 2012 by Tony Ngo and Don Le, both Stanford graduates, the company operates three physical learning centers (An Phu/Thao Dien, Phu My Hung, and Him Lam District 7) and an online class platform, distributing programs to students from Grade 1 through Grade 12 and gap-year students and their families.

The core product portfolio spans Math enrichment via the Singapore Math CPA (Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract) methodology, English Language Arts aligned with U.S. Common Core Standards, one-on-one and small-group Tutoring in Math, English, Science, IGCSE, SAT, and IELTS, International School Prep, and seasonal STEAM and Design Thinking camps. College Compass, launched in 2018, is a higher-priced sub-brand offering individualized 12-36 month data-driven university admissions counseling for Grades 8-12 and gap-year students, with packages priced up to $10,000. Technology is positioned as a proprietary blended learning approach combining in-person instruction, partner-school delivery, and interactive online classrooms; the stack includes third-party engagement tools such as Kahoot! and Blooket but no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or proprietary algorithms.

Revenue is generated through recurring semester and program tuition across enrichment, test prep, tutoring, and admissions counseling, sold via a sales-led motion (direct registration, free trials, consultation) augmented by content marketing through the E2 Talk blog and podcast, social media, email campaigns via MailChimp, and earned media. The company has raised approximately $5.4M across two disclosed funding rounds (2016 and 2019), is founder-controlled with no identified parent or institutional majority owner, and reports 101-250 employees with 15,000+ cumulative course registrations over 12 years of operation.
