What started as a mobile-first learning app evolved deliberately into an impact-driven organisation that serves students, schools and governments. We expanded beyond core subject content and local language lessons to life skills and leadership programmes for the whole child, then built tech services that work for institutions such as the Teesas Education Management System (EMS). Our EMS treats technology as the backbone of scalable and accountable schooling, from scripted lesson delivery to teacher workflows, attendance and performance tracking, all designed to raise consistency and outcomes across private and public schools. From building tech for institutions, we pivoted to hybrid learning centres that combine in-person tutoring with digital support designed to tackle poor examination outcomes. Our hybrid Teesas Learning Centres provide hands-on computer-based (CBT) preparation and coaching for exams like the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the West African Examination Council (WAEC) junior and senior secondary school exit exams. Teesas partners with education stakeholders locally and internationally who share our vision. Our partnership with Franklin Covey Education, introduced the Leader in Me programme to curricula of local school networks, and we have collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy on the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) initiative, as an Applied Learning Cluster delivering hands-on training in digital and technical skills. Through these initiatives, we have positioned ourselves as Africa’s learning gateway: a tech-enabled hybrid learning model that democratises learning while enabling institutional transformation with an impact that stretches from Lagos to Nairobi. Today, Teesas stands at the intersection of purpose and profit, liberalising access to quality education through scalable technology, while providing jobs to hundreds of Africans. As Africa’s learning gateway, we remain committed to creating platforms to empower the next generation of learners, educators and policymakers.
