GoStudent

GoStudent is a European online tutoring company founded in 2016 in Vienna, Austria. It has grown into one of the world’s largest online tutoring providers and one of Europe’s most valuable EdTech companies, delivering paid, one-to-one, video-based tutoring to K-12 students across more than 30 subjects, sold primarily as recurring subscriptions rather than pay-per-lesson.

Students join via a free, non-binding trial lesson (no card or commitment required), and the company matches each learner with a vetted tutor based on level, goals, and personality, stating that only about 8% of tutor applicants pass selection. Lessons run in GoStudent’s own virtual classroom (GoClass), which includes a digital whiteboard, document sharing, and an equation editor, booked through an in-platform calendar. Subjects emphasise maths, sciences, languages, and English across primary and secondary levels.

Pricing is subscription-based: families commit to plans of 6 to 36 months and choose between 1 and 10 weekly 50-minute lessons, with the per-lesson price falling as more lessons are booked (a 50-minute lesson is around £24.99 on the UK site). GoStudent is venture-backed and has expanded across Europe and beyond. It suits families wanting structured, ongoing one-to-one tutoring with a dedicated tutor and a free trial to start.
