What Elos Educacional does

Elos Educacional is a Brazilian educational consulting firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Santo André, São Paulo. The company provides continuing education, pedagogical consulting, and learning recovery programs primarily to public education networks across Brazil, including municipal and state education secretariats, public school teachers, pedagogical coordinators, and school directors. Its service portfolio spans educational consulting for network improvement, continuing education training (delivered in-person, via EAD, or hybrid formats), mentoring for school leaders, and specialized programs such as Alfabetização na Idade Certa and a learning recovery program in Portuguese and Mathematics adapted from Pratham's Teaching at the Right Level methodology. The company also offers VAAR compliance consulting to help education networks qualify for complementary federal funding.

The firm operates with a team of approximately 100 educators (predominantly women) founded and led by two former public school leaders, Silvana Tamassia and Claudia Zuppini. Elos reaches customers through direct sales engagement with education secretariats, a website-based budget request process, and a multi-channel content marketing footprint (blog, podcast, Instagram, newsletter, e-books). It has delivered programs in 25 Brazilian states and the Federal District, with reported impact across 23,885 schools, 73,876 educators trained, and 19,358 directors trained.

Revenue is generated through professional services contracts (consulting, training, mentoring) on a quote-based pricing model, supplemented by publications and e-book licensing. The company has received third-party validation from UNESCO (recognized among the 6 best school manager training courses in Latin America) and the World Bank (impact evaluation of Classroom Management course). It also operates REPE, a research network focused on BNCC studies, racial equity, and learning recovery, signaling investment in thought leadership and evidence-based content. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
