SchoolPlus

What SchoolPlus does

SchoolPlus is a privately held online education marketplace headquartered (legally registered) in Azerbaijan under the name "SCHOOLPLUS ONLAYN MƏKTƏB," operating exclusively online with no physical office. The platform connects parents of children aged 4-18 with internationally certified teachers sourced globally from countries including South Africa, the United States, Russia, and the Philippines. SchoolPlus curates more than 100 programs across 8 categories — foreign languages (English, Russian, Chinese, German, Japanese, Korean), coding (Scratch, Python, Roblox, Minecraft, Code.org), mathematics (mental arithmetic, grades 1-6 tutoring), science, arts, music, life skills (speed reading, Microsoft Office), and psychology — and aligns core language offerings with Cambridge Primary English and Oxford Nelson English curricula.

The platform is built around a self-serve website (schoolplus.io) available in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English, with live lessons delivered via Zoom video conferencing and an automated lesson-recording system retained for 30 days for quality assurance. Teachers undergo a multi-stage vetting process covering teaching specialty, personality, and experience, and are contractually restricted to delivering classes only through the SchoolPlus platform. Customer acquisition relies on content marketing (blog articles on parenting and international education systems), SEO on the localized website, and organic social presence on Instagram and X.

SchoolPlus monetizes via a marketplace commission model: teachers set their own lesson prices (typically ranging from ~$7 to ~$20 per 40-60 minute lesson), and SchoolPlus retains a 30% platform fee while teachers receive 70% of lesson revenue, paid monthly via PayPal or bank transfer. Local Azerbaijani payment systems (MilliÖn, eManat) are also accepted. The company discloses no revenue, funding history, or management team, and cumulative scale commentary indicates 27,778 lessons delivered on the platform to date. Customer testimonials and named users are all individual parents, with no enterprise accounts, consistent with a direct-to-consumer SMB model concentrated in Azerbaijan and surrounding regions.

Revenue model

1. Platform Commission (Marketplace): SchoolPlus operates as a marketplace platform taking 30% commission from teachers' earnings. Teachers set their own prices for lessons, and SchoolPlus retains the platform fee while paying teachers 70% of lesson fees. Teachers receive monthly payments within the first 7 days of each month via PayPal or bank transfer.
2. Teacher Revenue Share: Teachers receive 70% of revenue from their lessons. SchoolPlus takes 30% as platform commission. Payment is made monthly within first 7 days of following month. Teachers must have at least 6 hours notice to cancel lessons without penalty; cancellation with less notice results in 50-100% revenue forfeiture.

Broad incumbents

• Varsity Tutors: Varsity Tutors is a large, established online tutoring platform offering 1-on-1 and group instruction across academic subjects, test prep, and enrichment for K-12 and college students.

• ClassDojo: ClassDojo is a widely used classroom communication and education platform serving K-12 teachers and parents globally. While not a direct marketplace for tutoring, ClassDojo competes for parent attention and student engagement in the same K-12 online education space where SchoolPlus operates.

Direct peers

• Cambly: Cambly is an online platform connecting English learners with native English speakers for conversational practice via video chat.
