Tutor discovery and booking app, WONK goes live

According to a 2013 study by ASSOCHAM, about 87 percent of primary school children and up to 95 percent of high school students received private tutoring in metro cities. With a huge demand for tutors and no easy discovery channel for the same, WONK, (Mirror of the word ‘KNOW’) was launched this February as a mobile-first platform that allows students and parents to sort, filter and book verified tutors for physical coaching based on their requirements.

Notably, WONK empowers parents to book classes not only for academic needs but also for pursuing extra-curricular activities, hobbies and interests as well. Tutors too can sign up for free to engage in paid tuition classes through the platform. The USP of WONK is that academic details and professional experience of all tutors are visible to all members and there is complete transparency on fees charged. Also, there is a money back guarantee across all tuition bookings and a unique Tutor Swap facility too.

“Being a parent, I completely understand the challenges any other parent would face in finding a credible tutor for their child. Since we want the best for our children, especially in academics and extracurricular activities, this is our way to empower and convene the entire process for every parent and student with a tool, to get access to the best possible tutor in the vicinity at a time and budget suiting them,” says Vidhu Goyal, Co-Founder, WONK.

Since its inception, WONK has been growing fast with over 8,000+ downloads with a rating of 4+ on Play-Store. The platform has registered over 25,000 members and more than 15,000 tutors from across the country. With over 2,200 class bookings from Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Ludhiana, Agra, Lucknow and Chandigarh already, WONK intends to expand its services to Jaipur, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Baroda, Kota, and Cochin soon.
