What is SubSchool?

SubSchool is a platform where you can easily create your first online course. No complicated settings, no need to create a website and no need to connect payment systems. 

It’s simple: Register, click on “Create Course” and all you have to do is fill the course with the knowledge you want to share with your students!

Story:

I previously taught physics as a tutor and together with a mathematician friend, we created an online school where we taught in a course format to small groups of students and started inviting other teachers to join the team. And then we came across the fact that teaching online using just video call services becomes extremely inconvenient when there are too many students and teachers. 

We started to explore programs, some were quite convenient and affordable, but allowed only to upload recordings of lessons, not to conduct live lessons. Others were either too complicated and expensive or on the contrary did not have the necessary functions. So the idea of creating our own platform was born – simple for the teacher and yet allowing everything you need for online teaching. 

Key features

We are now focused on making the platform simple but with everything needed:

🚀Creating courses and lessons – You can divide lessons into modules and specify in each lesson its topic to structure the course. You can immediately upload a video to a lesson or choose time for a live lesson.

👋Homework – Just add the exercises you need once and then you can quickly create homework for different lessons and courses in a few clicks. And if you choose to share added exercises, you’ll have access to exercises shared by other teachers!

💸Sales – Students in their app can select courses and buy them as a whole or single lessons to try the course before buying or just to learn the topic they need right now, so your courses will be more trusted by students and their parents and get more sales.

Next Steps

We’d love your feedback, because it will help us understand how easy the platform is to use and what features you think are missing. Feel free to share your ideas with us in the comments or email [email protected]. 

Our next goal is to automate maximum routine teacher tasks and make students’ experience more engaging:

😺We plan to make automatic generation of homework for students based on their performance. This way you will save time and students will get motivating assignments, more challenging ones for those who are bored to choose answers and more simple ones for those who are intimidated by long and complicated tasks.

💬We will make chats and one-to-one tutoring features so that a teacher can combine online courses for groups and 1:1 lessons as a tutor all within one platform

🏆For courses that aim to prepare for exams we will apply a special rating system, based on incoming and outgoing generated tests, so the rating will reflect the effectiveness and motivate the most talented teachers.
