Geniebook, Singapore’s largest EdTech platform for English, Mathematics and Science syllabi, is continuing its expansion in Viet Nam with a new local office and a renewed mission to foster 1 million changemakers in one of Asia’s most dynamic markets.
Geniebook is known for incorporating cutting-edge technology, most notably artificial intelligence, in its efforts to create an effective and accessible learning platform.
The company’s main offering is a powerful suite of online learning products to help students accelerate their academic improvement for subjects including English, Chinese, Mathematics, and Science, all of which are based on Singapore’s national curriculum for primary and secondary school levels.
These products include GenieSmart, an AI-personalised worksheet generator with documented improvements by 90 per cent of participating students after attempting eight worksheets; GenieClass, a streaming platform for live online classes with over 100 lessons scheduled each week across all subjects and levels; and GenieAsk, an online moderated chat platform connecting groups of 50 students with representative Geniebook teachers for academic help and discussions.
“From personalised worksheets for targeted improvement, animated presentations and interactive demonstrations to a gamified rewards system, these features make Geniebook an unstoppable flywheel of improvement,” said Neo Zhizhong, Geniebook Co-founder and CEO.
Geniebook’s guiding purpose is to help students learn a thousand times faster so they can become confident contributors to society. Notably for Viet Nam, Geniebook targets to better equip local students with the academic knowledge necessary to secure a brighter future for themselves, and foster a generation of determined changemakers able to shape the world around them according to their shared vision, he said.
Geniebook has achieved impressive revenue growth of over 2,000 per cent since the start of 2019, with a fast-growing user base of over 220,000 in Southeast Asia.
In Viet Nam alone, the company’s revenue has grown three times compared to figures from 2020. In October 2021, Geniebook raised US$16.6 million in Series A funding led by East Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation by angel investors. — VNS
