All of us love the movie Taare Zameen Par, the movie touched our hearts because of the “Teacher Student” chemistry. The movie had a very interesting dialogue “Every kid has his/her own share of likes & dislikes. It is left up to us to capitalize on that passion by encouraging them”.
The teacher [Aamir Khan] could identify Ishan’s passion for drawing. He went an extra mile to maneuver his teaching style to suit Ishan’s needs [or a dyslexic kid] which helped the child a lot. In the end as we all know, Ishan excelled both in drawing & studies; thanks to his teacher 🙂
Every person has that one ‘Special Teacher’ in their life who has inspired and motivated them to follow their passion. Every child is unique and has his/her own talents. With changing times and fast moving life, parents/teachers find it difficult to locate a suitable activity hub to nurture their child’s talent.
KleverKid, an innovative after-school startup aims to bridge this connect between parents and the activity hubs by keeping the parents informed about the best after-school programs happening in the city. It plans to democratize learning by helping parents to find the best tutor, workshop, skating master, programs etc. to nurture child’s abilities.
Today we have a look at KleverKid which can be loosely termed as “Helping hand for parents to get the best out of their kids” 🙂
Hyper-local Education marketplace
The biggest problem parents face when they move to a new city or new apartment is “How do I find a suitable tutor for my kid”? KleverKid comes in very handy in this scenario. Being a resident of Bangalore [Whitefield area], we performed a search on KleverKid for “Academics & Sports” program-type and the results were encouraging.
The interesting aspect is that it also shows “The distance between your location & the selected institution/club”. This gives a feel-good factor for the parents [lesser the distance, better for them]. The information on the facilities provided by the selected institute was up-to-date & we could further filter out the options at micro-level.
Ratings, Reviews & more
Whether it is going for movies or ordering food online, reviews and ratings have played a pivotal role for driving user growth and ensuring transparency. The “Social” feature plays a crucial role in influencing the consumer behavior. This feature was very much required on KleverKid.
Instead of relying on Word-Of-Mouth, parents can now rely on the ratings/reviews given by others on the platform. We would love to see a “Verified” icon [similar to JD Verified on JustDial] to add another level of confidence for it’s users.
Social Sharing
With the increased penetration of WhatsApp, it is a medium that is hard to ignore. Parents using KleverKid can share details of a particular tutor/feedback to others via WhatsApp which would definitely prove beneficial for others.
Along with WhatsApp, users have options to share feedback on Facebook, LinkedIn & other social media channels.
Couple of features which we feel could have been incorporated:
- Actual photographs of the facilities shared by existing users. This would drive more user adoption.
- An option to compare services based on price/feedback/facilities.
If you are looking out for after-school programs or tutors for your kids, do give KleverKid a spin & share your feedback in the comments section.
