dotLearn, the startup with the mission to make online education accessible to all, today announced the launch of WASSCE Tutor, their first mobile app. After a successful beta app with over 100 users, WASSCE Tutor is finally available for all android devices to download free.

WASSCE Tutor helps senior high school students overcome the WASSCE exams by providing small, easy to understand videos that explain difficult topics and practice questions from a database of past WASSCE exams. Our revolutionary technology means that our videos are very light and so use very little data, meaning students don’t have to worry about their bundle. By spending 30 minutes a day revising with the app, students will be able to improve their knowledge of subjects taught in their classrooms and get good grades in their exams. 

The WASSCE Tutor app is especially timely, given that in Ghana 90,000 candidates failed in Maths and 34% of students failed the 2016/2017 WASSCE exams. One of the reasons given for this failure is that many schools are unable to finish teaching the required syllabus in the classrooms before the end of the school year.

Not completing the syllabus is a problem WASSCE Tutor can solve because all the subject content in the WASSCE Tutor app is based on the approved WAEC syllabus for senior high school students. Since the videos in WASSCE Tutor, which use up very little data, are arranged by topic and also can be searched by name, students who use the app can study at their own pace, easily revising what they’ve already learnt or studying ahead of future lessons. 

“It is my mission to make sure everyone in Ghana and Africa has access to knowledge, no matter what their internet connection is like” said Tunde Alawode, COO and co-founder of dotLearn, the company behind WASSCE Tutor.  “Even though I am from Lagos, I was fortunate enough to gain acceptance to do a PhD in MIT because I was able to study online. Now I’m working to make sure that every student has a similar opportunity, starting with the WASSCE”.

The WASSCE Tutor app has the following features:

  • Easy to understand video explanations: you get to see all the “workings” just like a real teacher does
  • The videos are fast, use very little data (as little as using Whatsapp) and work offline.
  • Track your progress so you know which lesson areas to pay more attention to
  • Easily accessible: study whenever you want, whether on the trotro going home or just before you go to church

Reviews from some of our users include:

“With the explanations I grab every topic easily so this app is perfect for me” – Anthony

“I’ve just got the app on my phone. It is really good, I’m loving it” – Nana
