I tried registering the website as a teacher and I had some trouble signing in. They also take a test before you sign up. So prepare in advance. The other thing that I noticed is they offer few subjects for IGCSE.
Ed-tech apps like these will help teachers become independent and professional. This will also help teachers reduce their dependency on the schools. Specially teachers having a lot of students need not worry managing so many things together, they can just focus on the course and increase their student numbers.
If private tutors already have a base where they have been teaching a lot of students, it will take time for them to understand the app and start using. They will also need to get their students on-boarded to these apps, which can be a task. Its good to compare these apps before you register and you should ask for a demo to understand all its features. If you have already been using any of these apps, do share your experience.
