As Poslovni Dnevnik/Lucija Spiljak writes, on Monday this week, the second semester started online for most of Croatia’s students, which is a short-term solution for now until the epidemiological picture improves.
While classes were held online last year, another market was evolving – online instructions. Last November, the first Croatian platform for online instruction – ematematika.hr, was presented, the founder of which is Robert Pavlik, a mechanical engineer who recently offered packages for students for both preparation for graduation.
This type of instruction is currently the most practical and safest solution, he claims, and elementary school friends Roman Krvavica and Robert Ljubanovic agree with him, and they recently presented a new platform and virtual classroom – the Croatian platform Einstrukcije.com – where parents and primary and secondary school students can arrange a term of instructions for mastering all of their school material online.
Robert is in charge of communication and selection of instructors in the team, and Roman is in charge of the technical side of the Croatian platform Einstructions, as well as the user experience.
Linking supply and demand
“The idea emerged back in the spring of 2020 after the situation with the pandemic arose and the lockdown followed. After analysing the market, we realised that such a project is necessary in Croatia because we can connect both supply and demand, and set up as a platform for giving instructions with proven instructors.
Giving instructions has always been a segment in the grey or black zone that hasn’t received much attention and yet is very necessary. The first version of the Croatian platform Einstructions came to life back in December 2020, and with additional functional adjustments from the beginning of January 2021, it’s now in full swing,” say the founders.
So far, they have fourteen instructors, mostly graduates with many years of experience who have passed a detailed test. In addition to the entire material, they also offer graduation instructions.
“Nine more instructors are coming. We’re working on expansion so that we can offer all other subjects for high schools, and we’re open to all students and professors who want to give instructions,” they say.
Instructors inform the child’s parent about the progress of each online meeting held with the student. The price of instructions per school hour (45 minutes) stands at a reasonable 75 kuna, and as all platform instructors are connected to the app for making appointments through which synchronisation is done in real time, it is possible to book an appointment in a few simple steps without prior agreement with the instructor.
Such educational platforms, also available on mobile devices, are gaining momentum according to the website of Trading Platforms, one of the leading educational online platforms. Its experts predict that time spent on educational apps in the next four years will record an annual growth rate of 62 percent, followed by business apps with 57 percent, which means that platforms such as eMatematika.hr and the Croatian platform Einstructions have yet to experience their ”boom”.
