Who we are
While preparing for university entrance exams in early 2010, Timothy sat at the back of a classroom in a Hong Kong tutoring centre, learning math exam tips along with 300 other students. Unable to afford private tuition and unable to ask questions, the struggle to get into university is very common. In 2011, he started a tutoring centre to take advantage of the great demand for good tutors. Snapask was born to level the playing field for quality tuition.
Why we’re doing this
There's a seismic shift in Hong Kong's tutoring market, from offline to online. Snapask is at the forefront of bringing quality tutoring into the pocket of every student, by matching university-level tutors with students on-demand. Hong Kong alone already boasts between USD 2-4 billion spent annually on private tuition. By escaping the physical confines of the classroom, tutoring centres and so-called cram schools; using Snapask, everyone can get academic questions they have answered at anytime.
Our mission
Officially founded in 2014, Snapask aims to give every student the tool to learn in the most customized manner, efficient and hassle-free, and yet in a minimal cost. Snapask, which released in January 2015, is a mobile app that allows students to ask questions about anything in one click. And we can connect them to the most eligible tutors by crowd-sourcing to provide a real-time one-to-one online class.
Partners & Supporters
Our worldwide partners and supporters, such as Cyberport, HKU, SPH Plug&Play, Chinaccelerator, Taiwan Startup Stadium etc., helped us launch and promote our killer-app in different markets. Now, we operate in Hong Kong, Taipei, Shanghai and Singapore. In August 2015, we raised US$1.8 million for pre-A round financing.
