EDUS Tutor

What EDUS Tutor does

EDUS Tutor (legal entity: EDUS Lanka (PVT) Ltd.) is a Jaffna-headquartered online education platform founded in 2021 that delivers live, tutor-led tuition to school students across Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, and a global diaspora segment. The platform serves students from Grade 1 through A-Level across multiple syllabuses — Sri Lankan National, Cambridge IGCSE/O/A-Level, Edexcel, CBSE, and IB — delivered in Tamil, English, and Sinhala mediums. The company employs 11–50 core staff and works with a network of 200+ verified tutors averaging 12+ years of subject mastery.

The product stack centres on a proprietary Learning Management System and Student Mobile/Web App (signup.edustutor.com) that handle enrolment, scheduling, live class delivery (via Google Meet and Google Classroom integrations), recorded lessons, assignments, exams, parent progress reporting, and a resource vault (EDUS Wiki). An AI Study Buddy feature provides text-based guided learning support, and a dedicated 9A Project Class sub-product offers a 6-month intensive O/L preparation programme backed by an F-Result Refund Promise.

EDUS operates three revenue streams: (1) recurring monthly subscriptions for live group classes in Sri Lanka at LKR 1,000–1,200/subject/month (or LKR 1,500–2,000 for the 9A Project Class and full packages), plus a one-time LKR 1,000 admission fee; (2) pay-as-you-go one-to-one tutoring from LKR 2,500/hour; and (3) affiliate commissions from partner universities via the EDUS Overseas Consultancy subsidiary, which guides Sri Lankan students through admissions to institutions in the UK, Australia, Canada, Dubai, Ireland, and New Zealand. Distribution is primarily self-serve digital (web/mobile sign-up), supplemented by WhatsApp/phone enrolment and a newly opened physical front office in Jaffna (July 2025) co-developed with investor Yarl Ventures. Marketing relies on YouTube educational content, organic social, regional innovation-festival presence, and parent referrals driven by a claimed 98% pass rate and 4.9/5 tutor rating.
