There is a small fortune spent on private education. After school classes, tutoring etc etc. The money is spent by the upper middle class and above. If this solution works better for some subset of those people, it will take off in that market.

Private education as "in person" . Not faceless SaaS subscriptions.

I spend on private 1-1 sessions, group classes, books, apps, faceless saas subscriptions, toys, puzzles.

You misunderstand the buyers in this market. In my town, I'm in a good sized minority spending up on this stuff, despite being otherwise careful with money.

This. Well to do people do not blink when it comes to funding academic and athletic growth for their children.
