Koala, the interactive and gamified platform for online education, has launched its latest product: Learn with Koala. Created by former Apple engineers Xavier Moretti and Benjamin Roux, the platform aims to bring a sense of fun to online learning for children, filling a gap in the market left by more traditional platforms such as Zoom.

‎Inspired by the popular game Minecraft, Koala has already gained a dedicated following of teachers and students who have praised the platform for its engaging and interactive nature. With a focus on "play as the brain's favorite way of learning," Koala has quickly become a hit with kids and teachers alike, with many educators even having a hard time getting students to leave at the end of a class. 

Koala's new product, Learn with Koala, offers a range of live online classes for children, taught by experienced and skilled educators. Some of the classes on offer include an introduction to Chinese for children aged 5-8, a coding class for children aged 10-14, and English classes for non-native speakers aged 4-9 - some of them being taught by successful leaders in the tech space!

Koala is backed by Y Combinator and has already won numerous awards, including the Edtech Impact "Best Virtual Classroom 2022" award. To support Koala and take advantage of the platform, parents can book classes at www.learnwithkoala.com or request a specific class or time through the company's request form.
