[op here] - thanks for your kind words.
This entire project really exposed us to some of the challenges of the edtech space - mainly how solving the problems of the current edu system and making an edu product that people want rarely actually overlap.
But regardless, developing a sort of custom curriculum for those couple hours of 1:1 teaching and refining that curriculum on the fly, and seeing what concepts kids picked up quicker was super interesting and honestly one of the most rewarding parts of the project.
