What Activstudy does

ActivStudy, founded in 2014 and headquartered at Technohub 1, Dubai Silicon Oasis (UAE) with a French SAS corporate structure, is a private tutoring platform serving students who follow the French national curriculum abroad. The company delivers one-on-one private lessons, weekly group courses (2-5 students maximum), week-long intensive revision sessions, and academic coaching covering methodology, organization, and Parcoursup orientation, priced from 175 to 300 AED/hour. Distribution is omnichannel: online via video conferencing globally, at in-center locations in Dubai, and via at-home tutoring in the UAE.

The underlying technology is a fairly conventional services stack: an enrollment and payment web platform, integrated payment processing, the OuiActive mobile application for parent/student progress tracking, and standard video-conferencing delivery. The principal differentiating mechanism is human-mediated student-teacher matching performed by pedagogical advisors who pair students with certified French national education teachers or Bac+3 tutors. Tiered subscription plans (Excellence, Excellence+, Excellence Max) and per-hour package pricing (3h, 5h, 8h, 10h) create a mix of transactional and recurring revenue.

Commercially, ActivStudy operates a sales-led direct model — website, WhatsApp, email, webinars, and a referral ('Parrainage') program — targeting French expatriate families whose children attend AEFE-accredited schools or follow CNED distance-learning programs across the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. The company claims presence in 15+ countries, partners with EM Normandie Dubai for Baccalauréat pathways, and maintains regulatory relationships with KHDA, Education Nationale, and CCI Dubai. Revenue, headcount, and funding are not disclosed.
