eLearning Industries announces MyeTutor.org MVP Release Personalized Education Tutoring Platform

The Push to Change Education is on!

We are excited and proud to announce that eLearning Industries Ltd. Has officially released it's MyeTutor.org MVP platform. It has been a long road, with many hours, sleepless nights, and a dedicated team that overcame several challenges.

Our Co-Founder and CTO Nathan Tufte, with the help of web guru Anastasi Pavlakis were on hand demonstrating the platforms benefits to parents, students and tutors, its functionality, layout, and answered questions about the future developments, business model, and the next steps for the MyeTutor.org platform.

The team successfully demonstrated the benefits of MyeTutor platform that can be outlined as;.

1. It offers parents

• “Convenience” - tutoring classes do not interfere with their schedule i.e. saving time and effort as there is no transporting the child back and forth to a tutoring centre or making arrangements for an in-house tutor to visit.
• “Peace of mind” - knowing their child’s tutoring can take place within the safety and convenience of their home or while on holidays, visiting grandparents, even in the car or plane while traveling etc
• “An Effortless and stress free process” - no more searching for the best tutor or tutoring centre for their child as tutoring is driven by “best fit” algorithms that create the best match between tutors styles with their child’s learning profile
• “Access to highest quality of tutors” - strictly vetted for competence and character increases the chances of success to their child regardless their geographical location or socioeconomic status
• “Instant access to their child’s progress” with a click of a button
• “Economically advantageous solution” costing with up to 60% less than most of the on and off-line tutoring options available.

2. It enables high school students to learn

• “My way”- their preferred way of learning, they can even choose their tutors amongst those recommended as “best match” with their learning styles,
• “My place-time-device” - attend their after school tutoring classes from any-place-time-device,
• “Better and faster” than in a conventional class and thus succeed in their schooling and exams
• “Enjoy and have fun” – through educational games, competitions, and awards that can even be translated to positive social impact for their community.
• “With best friends and classmates”- by inviting their best friends regardless where they live as well as class mates to join in and share classes

3. It offers tutors

• “Satisfaction” – that students learn the right way by eliminating knowledge gaps, learn for life
• “Convenience” - they can choose to work from home or any place they wish
• “Cost reduction and time saving” - no need to travel back and forth for a tutoring session
• “Peace of mind” - when it comes to finding and accessing a large pool of students
• “Significant Income potential”- when compared to conventional tutoring

The rollout demonstration took place @ the THEA headquarters in Athens Greece. The team at THEA was on-hand for the presentation as well as interested members of the Greek Industries and Commerce community, and VC community.

What have we been up to.

As many entrepreneurs know, the growth from a great business idea to the industry changing presence they fight so hard to become founders take on several roles. Some of these roles, or hats as we like to say, are well within your expertise, while others are not so much. In the absence of a truly gifted document writer, or documentor, aka blogger, I'd like to give you a brief overview of the last few months, as well as our current status, and upcoming challenges.

Lets go back to March of this year, fresh from the return of the founders trip to Silicon Valley, we pushed our vision forward. Having learned and experienced a lot from the VC's and other successful entrepreneurs we regathered our growing team, added experienced individuals to fill the missing knowledge gaps, and began the steps toward our MVP and Beta platform.

We settled into our offices in THEA The Athens Business Incubator who have been very helpful in giving us resources, access to a great network, and providing access to competitions and conventions to help us build awareness.

The MIT Enterprise Forum Greece MIT-EF was in full swing and the guiadance we received from our mentors gave us the direction we needed to make steps forward without making the mistakes that send us crashing. From the 25 semifinalist companies involved in the experience and competition we were vast underdogs ready to show our potential. We also invited to attend the MIT entrepreneurial Boot Camp in Boston US, a great experience and fantastic networking event that last over a week.

Moving through April and May we saw many challenges come at us. From development issues to finding avenues to build awareness. The Pioneers.io convention in Vienna was a great way to get the ball moving. Finding great support again from THEA (the Athens Business Incubator) we met with some great and very open investment groups, and other entrepreneurs. We even were able to solidify a partnership for our infrastructure, a big thanks to Softlayer for aiding startups and helping bring us another step closer.

May also brought us some great news, having passed into the semi-finals of the MIT-EF as well as the Hellenic Entrepreneur Award, we had 2 very big goals ahead of us. Making the finals for both of these very competitive groups. With a great effort from our team, and many sleepless nights we did just that. Now comes the real push! Just making the finals isn't the end goal, but it is a great accomplishment for us, always the underdogs, it re-assured us that we have something special here.

Summer time, with the political turmoil in Greece starting to take center stage on a global level. The drive for us to succeed only grew. 


We saw opportunity by keeping much of our team here in Greece as a way to give other entrepreneurs here a success story to follow. The finals of both the MIT-EF and HEA did not go our way, but the encouragement we received from many there, as well as the lessons we learned had a great effect on us.

August saw us closing in on our MVP release, and began our Beta user program. Without launching a formal request for beta users, we received more then 200% of the requests we thought we would, including a broad spectrum not just in Tutoring experience, but also in geo locations. A launch of our early MVP level platform met with many challenges, but the team pushed through them putting in the long hours needed to produce our working engine.

Now that you have been brought up to the present, check out our September blogs, containing some GREAT information, news and announcements.
