They're not reinventing anything, they're just doing education with a better instructor:student ratio.

We all know the worse the ratio the worse the education tends to be. Tutoring is a long established means of compensating for this, by supplementing sessions with a 1:1 ratio, clearly illustrating the problem.

Also, every parent and student has a direct connection to every other parent and student. Doing education "at scale" is a terrible idea.
