Avidii, a Switzerland-based on-demand edtech platform, is actively hiring tutors in India as part of its expansion strategy. With over 400 tutors already onboarded across the country, it aims to recruit 200 tutors to cater to the rising regional demand and increase its headcount by 50 per cent in the next two months of Q2. 

The platform is experiencing a surge in demand from students seeking regional tutors proficient in Bengali, Assamese, Marathi, Kannada, and Hindi. It claims that its focus on localised educational support will provide a new earning opportunity for many tutors in India.

Avidii offers access to tutors specialising in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Commerce, and Arts, catering primarily to students between the ages of 11 and 18 under various educational boards. By comprehensively addressing students' doubts and motivating them to practice, it creates a personalised learning environment for its users.

With its on-demand nature and no-minimum engagement period, which give parents the flexibility to determine the duration of their child's tuition, Avidii sets itself apart from other edtech players in India. Additionally, the company offers an attractive work-from-home option, allowing tutors from different states to contribute to the learning ecosystem, thereby creating numerous employment opportunities across India.

"Interestingly, there is raised demand from parents and students for regional language-based tutors. To cater to this demand, we are hiring aggressively and intend to increase our tutor headcount by 50 per cent in Q2FY24. We offer educational support through tutors in Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Marathi, Kannada and English, and we plan to hire tutors proficient in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam soon. Our expansion plan involves acquiring one million users by the end of this year," says Deepak Subbarao, co-founder of Avidii.

The edtech was formally launched in 2021 and is currently operational in four countries. Its B2B segment involves partnerships with educational institutions and aims to enhance the learning experience within schools, colleges, and training institutes. Avidii's B2C segment enables direct interaction between students and tutors and creates an on-demand one-on-one deep learning experience for the students.
