What WorksheetCloud.com does

WorksheetCloud.com, operated by Learning Lab Apps (Pty) Ltd, is a South African educational technology company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, with a customer support office in Cape Town. It operates a single web-based learning platform delivering practice questions, practice exams, study notes, and recorded video lessons aligned to both the CAPS (state) and IEB (private) curricula for South African learners in Grades 1-12, with bilingual English and Afrikaans delivery for Grades 1-9. All content is produced by an in-house team of curriculum authors and teachers rather than generated by AI, and engagement features include Knowledge Points, avatars, sidekicks, term-based leaderboards, and a digital report card surfacing grade averages, questions answered, and strongest/weakest subjects.

The business runs four distribution editions targeting distinct buyer segments: a direct-to-consumer Parent Edition with self-serve monthly (R399/learner/month) or annual (R195/learner/month) subscriptions and a 7-day moneyback guarantee; a Tutor Edition with custom-branded interface and homework-assignment tools; a School Edition with custom branding and teacher support sold via quote; and a Corporate CSR Edition sold to South African companies (logos include Woolworths, Growthpoint, PPS, GEMS, MySchool, and FUCHS Lubricants) to sponsor learner access via CSR budgets. The company remains bootstrapped, profitable, and growing under CEO Adrian Marnewick, with a lean team of roughly seven people serving more than 130,000 South African families cumulatively.

Core offering

WorksheetCloud operates a web-based educational platform that delivers practice questions, exams, video lessons, and study notes aligned to the South African CAPS and IEB curricula for learners in Grades 1-12. Content is produced by experienced South African teachers and is offered in both English and Afrikaans for Grades 1-9. The platform is monetized through four separate product editions: a self-serve Parent Edition, a School Edition, a Tutor Edition, and a Corporate CSR Edition.

Product overview

WorksheetCloud is a single, unified online learning platform for South African learners in Grades 1-12. The core platform offers practice questions and exams, video lessons, study notes, progress tracking, and gamification features. It is distributed through four editions tailored to different customer segments: the Parent Edition for individual families (with monthly and annual subscription plans), the Tutor Edition for tutoring centres, the School Edition for institutional use with custom branding, and the Corporate CSR Edition for companies sponsoring learner access through social responsibility programs. All editions share the same underlying content aligned to the South African CAPS (state school) and IEB (private school) curriculum, created by human teachers rather than AI. Content is available in both English and Afrikaans for Grades 1-9, with select subjects for Grades 10-12.
