EaziCode is a South African start-up that provides group and one-on-one programming tuition sessions to assist users in developing critical technical skills.
EaziCode, a platform established by Ngoni Mujuru, Tshegofatso Isaac, and Thato Tshukudu last year, matches ambitious programmers with knowledgeable trainers. While group sessions allow students to learn from and educate one another while tackling challenging topics, one-on-one sessions provide students with a personal tutor throughout each course to ensure the optimum learning experience.
“We were able to identify in our research that most local curriculums for primary and secondary education in South Africa do not have programming as a taught fundamental skill. Within an increasingly digital world, our goal is to bridge this gap and enable students to learn programming and build creative products at a much younger age,” Tshukudu told Disrupt Africa.
“We have established great customer relationships that have played a role in word-of-mouth expansion. All our clients who sign up for our paid courses always complete the courses satisfied, and their recommendations have been the main source of our growth.”
EaziCode has about 20 students enrolled in its recurrent paid courses each month, while about 30 people sign up for its free courses. The self-funded firm also has immediate intentions to enter more markets for technological training and the creation of educational material.
“Moreover, our focus is South Africa, but since we offer online tutoring services, we plan to expand to other countries in Africa as well,” said Tshukudu.
“We currently have two paid courses, introduction to web development and a Scratch course, which we have seen great financial success with. Due to our business model, we have very few operating expenses and thus it is easy for us to make a profit. We do believe that we are still in the early stages of our growth but with the current success of all our courses, potential partnerships in the near future as well as our focus on growing our selection of courses. We hope to see an exponential increase in turnover.”
