History
editThe website was founded in 2015 by Leon Hady, a former UK headteacher. Tuitionkit started as a self-funded venture allowing students to view interactive video content to support revision in Maths, English and Science for GCSE and A Levels. As of November 2016 it has 20,000 users.[6][7][8][5]
Leon, who has been guiding pupils online since 2009 through YouTube channels, founded the website with the core focus of building a video platform that avoided displaying adverts to students (such as in the case of viewing tutorials on websites like YouTube) as well as making it a cheap alternative to in-person tuition.[6]
The Tuitionkit subscription service allows students to watch over 2,000 tutorials as well as review more than 500 model exam question answers. Additionally, this is done with a track of the students' learning progress and an in-video questioning. The website also includes additional tools for teachers to use and teacher training videos.[6][9][8][5]
Future expansions of the website include learning rooms in Egypt and Brazil among others.[6]
