Who we are

onlinechalk is a one-stop solution for personalized tutoring, test prep and college admission counseling to students. Our mission is to help every student achieve their potential by providing them with personalized attention from skilled professionals. We wish to level out the playing field when it comes to education.

We are a women-owned-women-led company which was born during the COVID pandemic when many parents were distressed about their children’s education. We are very supportive of women tutors who are enthusiastic about teaching but cannot pursue careers in conventional setups. Our team is built on dedicated professionals who can continue their passion to teach from around the world.

Our story

onlinechalk is the founders’ dream project. Coming from a family where several generations have been heavily involved in academia, Garima and Roli realized teaching isn’t just another job–it’s part of who they are as people! Growing up their favorite classes were those with engaging teachers-and it greatly affected how well (or poorly) either did at school. This helped shape their thoughts about teachers who make lessons exciting or boring; there are those you want sitting next to your desk every day (like yours truly!) versus others that can be safely ignored during class time.

 

Interestingly this also maps out onto what onlinechalk will be for you: if your grades depend on finding good teachers that match YOUR learning style then we’ve got an amazing thing here folks!!
