The way he sees it, there are benefits to both online and offline teachings. While offline is more engaging, online is more accessible and is 24/7. “We want to be at the intersection of both, where we can provide data-driven, engaging, effective offline lessons but also have the online component to complement,” says Heng in an interview with The Edge Singapore.
Evan Heng, the 25-year-old founder of Zenith Education Studio, wants to take Singapore’s world-class education system and put it in an online virtual setting so that anyone with a smartphone can receive the same education system that Singaporeans get — for free.
Apart from conducting classes in the traditional bricks-and-mortar classroom setup, Heng, who is still an undergrad at the National University of Singapore (NUS), aims to incorporate technology into his business and expand into online classes. “When I started the company three years ago, amid Covid-19, we were too small to venture (SGX:V03
) into tech. But Covid-19 pushed the need for hybrid learning, just like hybrid working conditions,” says Heng.
