Gimkit

Nothing recorded yet. See the Gimkit review.

Skoolur

  • Covers Classes 1 to 10 only, so students entering Classes 11 and 12 must move elsewhere at exactly the point pressure peaks
  • Group classes mean less individual attention than one-to-one, which costs substantially more
  • Live scheduled classes require fixed weekly availability, unlike self-paced platforms
  • Priced per subject per month, so a student needing several subjects sees the total rise quickly
