What specific problem are you solving?
Globally, 250 million children lack access to formal education, and millions more attend school without gaining essential knowledge and skills. In underserved communities, teacher shortages, high tutoring costs, and limited access to quality learning resources prevent students from reaching their full potential. One-on-one tutoring, proven to be one of the most effective learning methods, remains financially out of reach for most families, further widening the educational gap. Additionally, only half of primary schools worldwide have disability-adapted infrastructure, making it difficult for students with learning differences to thrive. Traditional education systems also fail to equip students with problem-solving, critical thinking, and AI literacy skills, leaving them unprepared for the future job market. Troupe Academy addresses these challenges by training students to learn by teaching, using an AI-powered peer tutoring model that creates a scalable, cost-effective supply of high-quality tutors. By matching high-achieving students with younger learners, we make elite one-on-one tutoring widely accessible, even in communities with limited resources. Our model ensures learning is interactive, inclusive, and available at scale, preparing students with the foundational and future-ready skills they need to succeed.
What is your solution?
Troupe Academy is an AI-powered peer tutoring platform that trains students to learn by teaching, making high-quality one-on-one tutoring scalable and accessible. Instead of relying on expensive professional tutors, we pair high-achieving students with younger learners for structured online tutoring sessions. The older student supervises the session, guiding the younger student while reinforcing their own knowledge. Our platform uses AI-driven session pairing, automated training emails, and real-time feedback to ensure effective learning. Before each session, both students complete pre-lesson homework, preparing them to engage actively. AI tracks progress, analyzes performance, and provides personalized feedback to help tutors and learners improve over time. By increasing the supply of qualified tutors, Troupe Academy makes elite education available at scale, particularly for students in underserved communities. The model is low-cost, accessible anywhere with an internet connection, and highly scalable—allowing thousands of students to benefit from personalized, one-on-one support in Maths and STEM subjects.
