History
Skooli was founded in 2014 by the team behind Learnkit and Teach Away. With over ten years of experience in teacher recruitment and e-learning development, Skooli’s co-founders (Kevin, Rene, and David Frey) originally conceived Skooli as an online tutoring marketplace. In September 2015, following beta, the first official version of skooli.com was launched as a subscription-based online tutoring service. The Skooli Online Tutoring app launched in April 2016 for iOS and Android.
