P2P technology is going to permanently transform the way the education and tuition industries in Singapore function. Here’s a quick glimpse into what we hope to offer students.

Equity in education. Convenience in learning. Peer tutoring. If you believe in these notions, you have come to the right place. At Ascent, we believe all students have the right to academic assistance which is free and accessible to all.

With the kiasu, kiasi education culture in Singapore, studying is tough. We know. Especially in JC, we find ourselves asking “What even is a tetrakistriphenylohosphine?” “Can someone please explain vectors?” “Why am I putting myself through this?” The journey is not going to get any easier, and here is where Ascent comes into the play.

Ascent’s aim is to enhance the learning process of students in JCs across Singapore by facilitating the matching of student tutors and tutees. We understand that conventional consultations with teachers may sometimes be unavailable, with the hectic lives that both students and teachers lead. Besides, the trouble one has to go through to book slots and arrange timings with a teacher is sometimes just so inconvenient. To help with this, at Ascent, we provide hassle-free pairings of tutors and tutees of the same school. Get your questions answered and doubts clarified at the click of a finger instead of letting misconceptions pile up at the back of your head. With verified and dedicated tutors to help, learning is made so much easier!

Through Ascent, convenience is ensured while, the formality of learning is also preserved (say goodbye to searching up answers on Reddit). Tutors strengthen the concepts they have learnt while tutees get their burning questions answered. What’s more? This peer-tutoring style of learning helps strengthen the school spirit as it encourages students to become more proactive in seeking and providing academic help.

Nelson Mandela famously said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. By helping to enhance the learning experience of students, we hope that Ascent will act as a catalyst for change in the education system, a catalyst for improvement, advancement and betterment.
