UAE education sector sees launch of EdTech platform Filo 

With the only purpose of revolutionising education through 1:1 customised learning that is easily available to students, enabling greater academic performance, comprehensive learning outcomes, and boosting student confidence, Filo is making its way to the Middle East.

Founded in 2020 by individuals who carry a deep-rooted passion for education & empowering the youth, Filo endeavours to make students independent learners and enable 24×7 accessibility to coursework through technology and digitality. The platform introduces the Middle East to the world’s only instant-tutoring technology that connects students to a live tutor within 60 seconds, which allows students to overcome academic hurdles at any time of the day.

Filo’s creation came to be by way of giving students digital education solutions as the world moved towards online learning. The company gives a comprehensive outlook on the learning needed to complete the scholastic needs of students, both within and outside the curriculum and provides uninterrupted access to the world’s largest community of tutors that are experts in their fields of study.

Imbesat Ahmad, Co-Founder & CEO, Filo said “We believe in providing a comprehensive approach to learning. Not all students are the same, which means, every student may not be able to optimize their learning through traditional means and methods. Filo endeavours to bridge that gap by providing personalized tutoring for the child, enabling them to learn at their own pace, encourage critical thinking as well as ease any pressure they face.”

Students who are studying for competitive examinations or who just want to learn more can speed-dial a tutor for a 1-on-1 interactive video or audio session on Filo’s app or website, which has a user-friendly layout and intuitive learning tools. Filo offers over 70,000 classes daily. Through this, students will have direct access to the more than 60,000 tutors who make up Filo’s large tutoring community. They can use these tutors to get ready for a variety of curricula and upcoming exam periods, from grade 6 to grade 12, as well as for challenging pre-college exams like JEE, NEET, SAT, Olympiads, IELTS, AP, and other tests.

Additionally, Filo focuses on delivering a personal touch for each student by connecting them to an individual tutor directly through a live video or audio call. This enables students that typically do not ask questions in classrooms, due to fear or lack of confidence, to have their queries answered, uninterrupted, and in a precise manner. Moreover, through its easily accessible website and app, students can study from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating the stress and difficulty of travelling to traditional tuitions or classes.

The company also gives hyper-personalized private coaching with custom-designed courses for individual students. Filo provides 24/7 attention and guidance from multiple experts to make sure that students can reach their academic potential.

Filo offers language-learning courses with a strong emphasis on conciseness and offers individualised support to promote fluidity in both spoken and written communication.

With daily increases, Filo has served 3.5 million students in 15 countries.
